1. What Damdast is
Damdast is a Chrome New Tab extension. It works fully on your device without an account. Signing in is optional and is used to sync and back up your settings and to provide account-based features such as currency prices.
2. What we store when you sign in and agree
Your Google account ID, email address and display name; your bookmarks and folders (titles, links, order, folder membership, pinned state); your light/dark mode and background color; your layout and widget settings (which widgets are on, world clocks, currencies).
When you create your account, a random identifier for your device (used for session management and security) and the choices you made during first-run setup (such as language) are also sent to our server.
3. What we do not store
Your background image, notes, tasks, weather city, browsing history, search history, calculator history, advertising identifiers, or analytics about how you use Damdast. We do not store Google access tokens. Your Google profile photo is shown directly from Google and is not stored by Damdast.
4. How we use it
Only to provide sync and backup between your devices, to provide account-based features, and to keep the service secure (for example, abuse prevention and rate limiting). We do not sell your data, do not use it for advertising, and do not use it to decide credit or lending.
5. Sharing
We do not share your data with third parties. Google is used only for sign-in. Our staff do not read your synced data, except with your explicit consent, for security investigations, or where the law requires. Services your browser contacts directly are described in section 12.
6. Storage and security
Data is sent over HTTPS and stored on our own server in Germany.
7. Retention and deletion
We keep your data while your account exists. If you stop syncing, we delete your synced data from our server. If you delete your account, we delete all your data from our server. Copies in server backups are removed when those backups expire.
8. Your controls
In your profile you can see what is synced, export your data, stop syncing, or delete your account. You can also contact us at support@finati.org.
9. Google user data
Damdast’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. We use Google account data only to sign you in, identify your Damdast account and show your name and picture.
10. Changes
If this policy changes how we use your data, we will show the consent dialog again before syncing continues.
11. Sync status in this version
In this version, signing in creates your account and records your consent. The data-sync engine (bookmarks and layout) is a separate phase. Until it is active in your version, the items in section 2 stay on this device and are not uploaded.
12. Services your browser contacts directly
These requests are made by your own browser, not through our server:
| Service | When | What is sent |
|---|---|---|
| Google (site icons) | To show bookmark icons, when Chrome does not have one | The domain name of the bookmarked site (not the full address) |
| Open-Meteo (weather) | Only if you turn on the weather widget and grant its permission | The city name you enter and that city’s coordinates. The result is kept only on your device |
These services have their own privacy policies. Damdast does not send your account ID, email or bookmarks to them.
13. Currency prices
The currency widget is available only to signed-in users. To get prices, the extension sends a request carrying your Damdast account token to our price service. For authentication, rate limiting and security, the server processes your account ID, IP address and the time of the request. Prices are not personalized, and the latest result is kept on your device so it is not fetched every time.
14. Technical server data
Like any internet service, our server processes technical request data (such as IP address and timestamps) for security and abuse prevention, and keeps it only as long as needed for that purpose.
15. Data on your device
Notes, tasks, background image, custom search engines, calculator history and other settings are kept in your browser’s local storage. The local JSON backup does not include sign-in tokens. The extension does not run in Incognito mode.
16. Your rights
You can request access to, correction, deletion, export, restriction of, or objection to the processing of your data, and withdraw your consent at any time. Most of this is available in your profile; otherwise contact support@finati.org.
