Privacy policy
Currency Converter is a browser extension published by David S. It converts amounts between currencies. This page explains what the extension does with data. In short: it doesn't collect any personal data.
Data the extension collects
None. The extension has no accounts, analytics, advertising or tracking, and it doesn't read the web pages you visit.
Data stored on your device
To remember your preferences, the extension saves the following in your browser's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local):
- Your list of currencies and the last amount you entered
- Your chosen rate source and rate type, including any custom API address you enter, the card commission you set, and your number display preferences
- A cached copy of the most recent exchange-rate table
This information never leaves your device and isn't sent to the publisher or anyone else. Removing the extension deletes it.
Network requests
The extension downloads public exchange-rate tables from the source you select:
- open.er-api.com (default)
- api.coinbase.com, for Bitcoin and Ethereum prices
- The website of the bank you choose in Settings (TD Canada Trust, National Bank of Canada, Desjardins, Bank of China, Nordea, Bank Austria (UniCredit), Bank of Ireland, ICICI Bank, Bank of Baroda, Bank Central Asia (BCA), Bank Mandiri, Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI), Bank Leumi, Bank Discount, Bank Hapoalim, Bank Mizrahi Tefahot, MUFG Bank, Scotiabank Mֳ©xico, First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), Bank of Ireland UK)
- A rates API address you enter yourself, if you choose that option
These are plain requests for rate data. No personal information, amounts you type, or browsing data is included. Like any website request, the rate provider can see your IP address and browser type; their own privacy policies apply to that.
Sharing and sale of data
No data is sold, shared or transferred to third parties, and no data is used for any purpose other than converting currencies in the extension.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
