2. Use of Local Storage
The extension uses Chrome’s local storage to keep your personal preferences saved, such as how often the wallpaper changes, which wallpapers are displayed, and any custom links or settings you choose to use. This storage is confined to your browser and cannot be accessed by third parties. The data stored is limited to what is necessary for the extension to perform its core functions.

3. Permissions Explained
The extension asks for the "storage" permission to save your settings and the "activeTab" permission to allow optional interaction with the current tab during manual user actions, such as bookmarking or loading relevant page details. These permissions are requested solely to enable the extension's intended features and are not used for tracking, background data collection, or analytics.

4. Offline Operation
All functionality of this extension works without an internet connection after installation. Wallpapers are either embedded or preloaded as part of the extension package, and preferences are managed locally. No cloud services are involved in the operation of this extension, which means that your data never leaves your device.

5. Policy Updates
Any future updates to this privacy policy will be included in the Chrome Web Store listing description. Since this extension does not collect contact information or provide account-based services, no direct notification is issued for changes. Users are encouraged to check the listing for the latest version of the policy before updating the extension.
