Privacy Policy

1. Overview

PollenIQ – Pollen Tracker is a browser extension designed to help users track pollen levels and related weather information directly in their browser. We are committed to minimizing data collection and protecting user privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data is used, how it is used, and the choices available to users.

2. Single Purpose

The sole purpose of this extension is to provide pollen and weather tracking, including real-time data, short-term forecasts, and configurable alerts for user-selected locations.

3. Data We Use

a. Location Information

• We use user-selected location information to provide relevant local pollen and weather data.
• Location data is not stored on our servers.
• Location information is used only to retrieve region-specific data from third-party data providers.

b. User Preferences (Local Storage)

The extension stores the following information locally in the user's browser:

• Selected locations
• Alert thresholds and notification settings
• Forecast timing preferences
• Language preferences
• Update intervals

This data is not transmitted to our servers.

4. Notifications and Background Tasks

The extension uses browser notifications and scheduled background tasks solely to:

• Notify users when pollen levels exceed user-defined thresholds
• Deliver optional daily pollen forecasts
• Trigger rain-related alerts when configured by the user

All notifications are optional and can be configured or disabled at any time.

5. Data We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect or store:

• Browsing history
• Personally identifiable information (PII)
• Health or medical data
• Financial or payment information
• Authentication credentials
• Personal communications
• Website content
• Cross-site tracking data
• User activity such as keystrokes or mouse movements

6. Host Permissions and Third-Party Services

The extension accesses a limited set of trusted third-party APIs to retrieve pollen, weather, and air quality data. These requests are restricted to the domains specified in the extension's manifest and are used only to fulfill the extension's single purpose.

We do not sell, rent, or share user data with third parties for advertising or tracking purposes.

7. Remote Code Execution

PollenIQ does not execute remote code. All executable JavaScript is packaged within the extension. Remote resources are used only to retrieve data in formats such as JSON.

8. Data Sharing and Sale

We do not:

• Sell user data
• Transfer user data to third parties for purposes unrelated to the extension's functionality
• Use user data for advertising, profiling, or creditworthiness assessment
