# Privacy Policy for Twitch Varta Extension

**Last Updated:** 13 серпня 2025 р.

This Privacy Policy describes how the "Twitch Varta" extension ("we," "us," or "our") handles information.

**1. Information We Process**

The extension is designed to function with minimal data processing. We do not collect, store, or share any personal information from your Google account or your device.

The only data the extension processes are:
* **Public Usernames on Twitch.tv:** The extension reads usernames publicly visible in the Twitch.tv chat to check their status. These usernames are sent to a third-party API (`api.artemiano.top`) for the sole purpose of retrieving their status. These usernames are not stored long-term by us.

**2. How We Use Information**

* Usernames are sent to the `api.artemiano.top` service to check for associations with channels known for spreading toxic or propagandistic content.
* The status received from the API is used to display an icon next to the username directly in your browser.

**3. Data Caching**

To improve performance and reduce network requests, the extension caches the status received for each username locally on your device using the `chrome.storage` API. This cache is automatically cleared every 24 hours. This data is stored only on your computer and is never transmitted to us or any other third party.

**4. Third-Party Services**

The extension relies on the public API provided by `artemiano.top`. We are not responsible for their data handling practices. We recommend you review their privacy policy if you have concerns.

**5. Changes to This Privacy Policy**

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

**6. Contact Us**
