6. Extension Permissions and Data Practices

🔒 Privacy Statement & Permissions Clarification

TL;DR: I do NOT collect your browsing history. I request limited permissions only to enhance your experience — not to track or spy.

Why Does My Extension Ask for Permissions?

When an extension requests permissions like tabs or activeTab, it can sound concerning. However, these permissions are only used to interact with the currently active tab — nothing more.

Technical Breakdown:

activeTab

Used to interact with the currently active tab only

tabs

Needed to query which tab is active and fetch its URL

host_permissions

Allow the extension to run only on specific domains

What I Actually Do:

  • Automatically mark video lectures as watched
  • Skip quiz/assessment validation
  • Enable right-click, copy-paste, and keyboard actions during lessons
  • Open a minimal ChatGPT sidebar (on-demand)

What I Don't Do:

  • I do NOT collect your browsing history
  • I do NOT monitor your activity on other websites
  • I do NOT sell browsing-history data or use Calendar data for advertising
  • I do NOT communicate with third-party trackers or collect any data from them unlike other extensions
  • I do NOT store any data on my servers or databases
  • I do NOT use any third-party libraries or SDKs that collect data
  • I do NOT sync LMS data to Google Calendar unless you connect it and grant permission

Note About Chrome Permissions

Chrome groups several capabilities under the same warning message. While it may say "can read your browsing history", I specifically do not access or save:

  • •Browsing history
  • •Search activity
  • •Other websites you visit

7. Optional Google Calendar Sync

Firewall Bypass VU offers an optional Google Calendar connection. If you choose to connect it, the extension reads your Virtual University LMS activity and fee information and creates or updates events in a dedicated calendar in your Google account. This can include your student ID, course and semester, activity titles and deadlines, completion status, and fee challan number, amount, and due date. These details are sent directly from your browser extension to Google Calendar so Google can store the events and show reminders.

Calendar access is requested only when you connect. The extension uses Google's calendar.app.created permission to manage calendars it creates; it does not need access to your other calendars. Sync records and connection status are stored locally in your browser, not on my servers. Disconnecting stops future sync and marks the local connection as disconnected, but it does not delete events already copied to Google Calendar. You can delete that calendar and revoke access in your Google Account settings. Calendar data is not sold or used for advertising.

8. Your Rights

  • •Access to your personal data and information on how it is used
  • •Request correction of any inaccuracies in your personal data
  • •Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal obligations
  • •Opt-out of receiving promotional communications
  • •Withdraw consent for data processing where applicable

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with the updated date. Please review this page periodically to stay informed.
