# Browser Extension Privacy

## Below is our extension privacy policy <a href="#browserextensionprivacy-belowisourextensionprivacypolicy" id="browserextensionprivacy-belowisourextensionprivacypolicy"></a>

Upon loading the extension, we retrieve a single json file containing all services and their respective urls from our API.

Additionally, when opening a popup the service data gets retrieved with all points and documents in it.

We also check for extension updates by calling the same service DB API which is hosted on the same API server.

The extension also displays hyperlinks to our website, but that will not affect your privacy if you don't actively click on them.

Other than that, installing this extensions does not expose information to us or to any of the websites you visit.

Your IP address will temporarily be visible in to Netcup who provide infrastructure.

We employ anonymized IP logging, this means nginx collects web requests but anonymizes IPs in the process

(Private IP used in the example below)

```
192.115.194.0 - - [01/May/2021:08:21:12 +0200] "GET /api/1/all.json HTTP/2.0" 200 753375 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0" "-"
```

Your IP may be stored temporarily in our Redis Cache in order to enforce rate limits.

For our assets such as logos, branding images we use a selfhosted S3: Minio.

#### Nginx IP logging configuration <a href="#browserextensionprivacy-nginxiploggingconfiguration" id="browserextensionprivacy-nginxiploggingconfiguration"></a>

```
map $remote_addr $ip_anonym1 {
    default 0.0.0;
    "~(?P<ip>(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+))\.\d+" $ip;
    "~(?P<ip>[^:]+:[^:]+):" $ip;
}

map $remote_addr $ip_anonym2 {
    default .0;
    "~(?P<ip>(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+))\.\d+" .0;
    "~(?P<ip>[^:]+:[^:]+):" ::;
}

map $ip_anonym1$ip_anonym2 $ip_anonymized {
    default 0.0.0.0;
    "~(?P<ip>.*)" $ip;
}

log_format anonymized '$ip_anonymized - $remote_user [$time_local] ' 
                      '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent ' 
                      '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"';
access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  anonymized;
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tosdr.org/site-policy/tosdr-terms/browser-extension-privacy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
