Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 14, 2026

This policy covers two products published by Abdulkadir Cansız ("the developer"): TypeFind for Chrome and Edge and TypeFind for Windows.

TypeFind for Chrome and Edge (browser extension)

What the extension reads

To show search results, the extension reads the following from your browser, on your device:

• Open tabs (title and address), so you can find a tab and switch to it or close it.
• Bookmarks (title, address and folder name).
• Browsing history from the last 90 days (title, address, last visit time and visit count).
• Recently closed tabs, so you can reopen them.
• Site icons from the browser's own local icon cache.

How it is used

• This information is read only while the TypeFind window is open and is held in memory to match what you type.
• The extension does not save it, does not copy it anywhere, and discards it when the window closes.
• The extension makes no network requests. Nothing is sent to the developer or to any third party.
• The extension does not read or change the content of the pages you visit.
• There is no analytics, advertising, tracking or remotely loaded code.

Browser permissions

• tabs: list open tabs, switch to a tab, close a tab, open a page.
• bookmarks: search your bookmarks.
• history: search pages you visited.
• sessions: list and reopen recently closed tabs.
• favicon: show each site's icon next to its result.

TypeFind for Windows (desktop app)

What the app reads

• The names, sizes and modification dates of files and folders on your local drives, to build a search index.
• When you select an image in the results, the app reads that image file to show a small preview. The preview is not stored.
• The app does not read the contents of your other files.

How it is used

• The index is stored only on your computer, in your local application data folder, so that search is ready the next time you start the app.
• The app does not connect to the internet. The index and your file names are never sent anywhere.
• There is no analytics, advertising, tracking or account.
• Uninstalling the app removes it; you can also delete the index file at any time.

Data sharing and sale

The developer does not collect any personal data through TypeFind, and therefore does not sell, share or transfer any.

Stores

The store you install from (Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Edge Add-ons or Microsoft Store) may collect information such as installs and reviews under its own privacy policy. The developer only sees the aggregate figures the stores provide.

Children

TypeFind is a general-purpose tool and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If a future version changes how data is handled, this page will be updated and the effective date above will change before that version is released.
