# Privacy Policy for Unsplash Filter+

**Last Updated: February 6, 2026**

## Overview

Unsplash Filter+ ("the extension", "we") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how the extension handles information.

## Information Collection and Use

**We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information.**

The extension operates entirely locally on your device and does not:
- Collect any personal data
- Track your browsing history
- Store any information about the images you view
- Send any data to external servers
- Use analytics or tracking tools
- Place cookies or use similar tracking technologies

## Data Storage

The extension stores only the following information **locally on your device** using Chrome's sync storage:

1. **Filter Preferences:**
   - Whether Unsplash+ photos should be filtered (boolean: true/false)
   - Selected orientation preference (string: "all", "landscape", "portrait", or "squarish")

This data:
- Is stored locally in your browser
- Syncs across your Chrome browsers if you're signed into Chrome
- Is never transmitted to our servers (we don't have servers)
- Can be cleared at any time by uninstalling the extension

## Permissions Explained

The extension requires the following permissions:

### storage
Used to save your filter preferences locally so they persist between browsing sessions.

### activeTab
Used to reload the active Unsplash.com tab when you change settings, ensuring filters apply immediately.

### Host Permission (https://unsplash.com/*)
Allows the extension to run on Unsplash.com pages to filter photos based on your preferences.

**None of these permissions are used to collect or transmit data.**

## Third-Party Services

The extension does not integrate with, communicate with, or share data with any third-party services, APIs, or servers.

## Data Security

Since no data leaves your device, there is no transmission of data that could be intercepted. Your preferences are stored securely within Chrome's built-in storage system.

## Children's Privacy

The extension does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. Since we don't collect any data at all, the extension is safe for users of all ages.

## Changes to Unsplash.com

This extension works by analyzing the structure of Unsplash.com pages. We do not control Unsplash.com and are not affiliated with Unsplash Inc. Changes to Unsplash.com may affect the extension's functionality.

## Your Rights

You have complete control over your data:
- View your settings: Click the extension icon in Chrome
- Change your settings: Adjust filters in the extension popup
- Delete your data: Uninstall the extension from chrome://extensions/

## Open Source

The extension's source code is available for review, confirming that no data collection occurs.

## Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted with an updated "Last Updated" date. Since the extension does not collect data, changes will typically only clarify existing practices.
