Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Torrent Search Engine For Chrome Professional ("we," "our," or "us") is dedicated to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how our Google Chrome Extension handles user data, the minimal information collected, and how we strictly adhere to Google's Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies (including User Data Policies).

2. Information We Collect and Process

We practice strict data minimization. Our extension acts primarily as a client-side search routing tool and does not collect, store, or sell personal identifiable information (PII).

A. Search Queries and Navigation Data

• What is processed: When you use the omnibox keyword or perform a search through the extension, your search query terms are passed directly to query the search engine endpoints (e.g., via https://*.freecine.download/*).
• Purpose: To route and return aggregated torrent search queries accurately.
• Storage: Search queries are processed in transit and are not linked to your personal identity or browser profile.

B. Technical & Operational Logs

• What is processed: Requests made to our service endpoint (*.freecine.download) may log basic standard HTTP web request data (such as IP address, browser user-agent header, and request timestamp).
• Purpose: To ensure server uptime, prevent malicious denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and maintain backend service functionality via the webRequest API.

3. Chrome Permissions & Use Justification

In accordance with Google Chrome Web Store policies, we request only the minimal permissions necessary to provide core features:

• Search Provider Override (chrome.search / search settings): Used exclusively to enable the search bar shortcut capability so you can query torrent aggregators directly.
• Host Permission (*://*.freecine.download/*): Allows the extension to communicate with our backend APIs to resolve search engine routes and fetch updated torrent provider listings.
• webRequest Permission: Used solely to inspect and handle request routing necessary for processing search requests efficiently across supported search provider endpoints.

4. How We Share and Disclose Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade any user data to third parties under any circumstances.

Data processed by the extension is shared only in the following context:

• Service Requests: Search terms entered into the extension are forwarded to the configured backend search provider (*.freecine.download) strictly to execute your request.

5. Third-Party Links & Search Results

Our extension aggregates search queries that may direct you to third-party torrent websites or services. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Torrent Search Engine For Chrome Professional extension. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or cookie policies of third-party websites you visit through search results.

6. Data Security

We implement standard transport layer security (HTTPS/SSL encryption) for all data in transit between the extension and our backend endpoints to protect against unauthorized interception.

7. Data Retention & User Rights

• Because we do not create individual user profiles or store personal data, we do not maintain retainable user accounts or personal history logs.
• You may stop all processing at any time simply by disabling or uninstalling the extension via chrome://extensions.

8. Compliance with Chrome Web Store User Data Policy

We explicitly affirm that:

• We do not sell personal data to third parties.
• We do not use or transfer data for purposes unrelated to the extension's core functionality.
• We do not use or transfer user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect updates to the extension or changing regulatory/Chrome Web Store requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will indicate when changes take effect.
