1. Overview
Context Menu Search is a browser extension that allows users to search selected text using their preferred search engines via the right-click context menu. We are committed to protecting your privacy.
2. Data Collection
We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The extension operates entirely within your browser. No information is sent to external servers, third parties, or any remote service.
3. Data Storage
The extension stores only your configuration settings locally using the browser's built-in chrome.storage.sync API:
- List of search engines and their URLs
- Sub-menu group names
- Multi-launch presets
- Tab behavior preferences
This data never leaves your browser. If you are signed into your Google account, Chrome may sync these settings across your devices — this is handled entirely by Chrome, not by the extension.
4. Permissions
The extension requests the following permissions, used solely for its core functionality:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
contextMenus | Add search options to the right-click menu |
storage | Save user settings locally |
tabs | Open search results in new tabs |
scripting | Read selected text from the active page (popup only) |
5. Third-Party Services
This extension does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. When you perform a search, your query is sent directly to the search engine you selected (e.g., Google, Yandex, Bing). We have no control over how those services handle your data — please refer to their respective privacy policies.
6. Children's Privacy
The extension does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
