01Overview
Keyword Search - Custom Engine is a Safari extension that lets you search any website using short custom keywords directly from Safari's address bar.
This Privacy Policy describes how we handle your information. The short version: we do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
02Safari Permissions Justification
On modern versions of iOS and macOS, Safari extensions may request permission to "view browsing history" to function as intended. Keyword Search requests this permission for one reason only: to identify the current search query in your address bar so it can perform the redirect to your custom engine.
We only access the current session's URL at the moment you perform a search. We do not read, store, or transmit your overall browsing history. All logic is performed locally on your device.
03Information We Do Not Collect
Outside of the functional requirement above, we do not collect any of the following:
- Search queries you type in Safari or in the extension popup
- Browsing history, visited URLs, or page content
- Personal identifiers such as your name, email, or device ID
- Usage data, crash logs, or analytics of any kind
- Location data
- Payment information
03Local Data Storage
Your custom keywords and settings are stored locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and we have no access to it at any time.
05Third-Party Services
Keyword Search does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. When you perform a search, you are redirected to the search engine you configured (e.g., Google, YouTube). That search engine's own privacy policy applies to those requests.
06Children's Privacy
Keyword Search does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The app does not collect information from any user, regardless of age.
07Changes to This Policy
If we ever update this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
