Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 19, 2026
1. Scope
This policy applies to Mahashe Speed Dial, speeddial.mahashe.org and the related cloud-backup API.
2. Data processed
- user-created tiles, URLs, names, groups and order;
- background, search provider, language, appearance and behavior settings;
- custom images or image URLs selected for backgrounds and previews;
- import and export backups;
- when signed in to Mahashe ID: name, email, avatar, provider identifier and session data;
- when auto-save is enabled: a separate Speed Dial cloud state, revision and timestamps;
- technical logs such as IP address, User-Agent, request time and result.
3. Data not collected
The extension does not collect full browser history, use advertising analytics, create advertising profiles or include sponsored tiles.
4. Purposes
Data is used to render the speed dial, create previews at the user's request, import, export, back up state, secure sessions and diagnose errors.
5. Search
Queries are sent directly to the selected provider: Google, Yandex, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Startpage or Ecosia. Mahashe does not retain query content as a separate history.
6. Website access
Website access is used to add the current page, load user-selected images and create previews. It is not used for hidden page reading or advertising.
7. Authentication and data separation
Google or Yandex sign-in is optional. Speed Dial state is stored separately from My Lists state even when the same Mahashe ID is used.
8. Third parties
Data is shared only with providers required for selected features: Google or Yandex, the chosen search engine, websites or CDNs hosting selected images, and Mahashe hosting providers.
9. Storage and security
Local state remains in the browser. Cloud state is transferred over HTTPS and stored in a separate protected Mahashe store.
10. Retention and deletion
Local data remains until cleared or the extension is removed. Cloud data remains until the user deletes it or submits a request through Delete data.
11. Limited Use
Data is used only for Mahashe Speed Dial's single purpose: organizing the new tab, user tiles, search, backup and synchronization. Data is not sold or used for unrelated advertising profiles.
