Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 2026-08-28 · Version 0.2.1
Overview
BeyondPage is a Chrome extension that transforms your new tab page with beautiful clock themes, live weather, quick links, to-dos, a memo, an optional search bar, and curated backgrounds from Picsum, Bing, and NASA.
Data Collection
However, some features send limited data directly from your browser to third-party services (see External Connections) — for example, the weather feature sends your coordinates to Open-Meteo. Any external request also exposes your IP address and standard HTTP headers to that service, as with any website.
- No personal information is collected
- No browsing history is tracked
- No analytics or telemetry data is sent
- No cookies or tracking technologies are used
- No account or sign-up required
Data Storage
All data is stored locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local and localStorage:
- Theme settings: Selected clock theme, Nixie colors, clock size, time format
- Background preferences: Chosen source, auto-change frequency
- Weather location: Coordinates and city name only
- To-dos & memo: Your task list and notes
- Quick links: Your saved bookmarks, titles, and display style
- Uploaded images: Locally uploaded background images (auto-resized to 1920px)
Nothing is stored on any developer server.
External Connections
This extension connects to the following external services solely to provide its features:
| Service | Purpose | Data Sent |
|---|---|---|
| Open-Meteo API | Fetch weather data | Latitude/longitude only |
| GeoJS (geojs.io) | Approximate location for weather (only while weather is enabled and no city is set) | None beyond the request itself — your public IP is inherently visible to the service |
| Photon (photon.komoot.io) | City-name search when you set a weather location | The city name you type |
| Picsum Photos | Random background images | None |
| Bing Image Archive | Daily wallpaper images | None |
| NASA Image API | Space photography | Search keyword only (e.g., "moon") |
| Google Favicon Service | Quick link icons | Website domain name |
| Google Fonts | Font stylesheets (user-selected) | Font family name only |
Permissions
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
storage | Save settings, preferences, and uploaded images locally in Chrome's built-in storage. |
search | Route the optional search bar's queries to your own default search engine via Chrome's built-in API. Queries are not collected. |
Location Data
Weather is OFF by default. When you enable it:
- If you have not chosen a city, the extension asks GeoJS (fallback: ipapi.co) for an approximate, city-level location derived from your network connection. This request necessarily exposes your public IP address to that service, like any web request. The extension keeps only the returned coordinates and city name — it does not store your IP address or ISP details. The result is cached locally for 24 hours; the lookup is not repeated on every new tab.
- You can instead search for a city by name; the search text is sent to Photon (photon.komoot.io, OpenStreetMap-based). A city you choose always overrides the approximate location.
- The extension never uses browser geolocation and requests no location permission.
Whichever location is active, its latitude/longitude is sent to the Open-Meteo API (api.open-meteo.com) to fetch the forecast. Coordinates and city name are stored only in your browser, kept until removed, and can be deleted anytime with Settings → Weather → "Reset location". Note: an approximate location can be off (VPN, corporate networks) — use city search to correct it. The extension works fully without weather.
Remote Code
This extension does not load or execute any remotely hosted code. All JavaScript is bundled locally within the extension package.
Data Retention & Deletion
- Local: Deleted on uninstall or via "Reset All Settings"
- Server-side: None. No external data storage.
