MyDial Privacy Policy

Date: November 11, 2026.

MyDial is a browser extension. It shows the sites from your bookmarks bar as tiles on the new tab page.

In short

• MyDial does not collect your data and does not send it anywhere. The extension has no server of its own.
• No ads, no analytics, no counters, no tracking.
• Data is not sold or shared with third parties.

What MyDial stores and where

Everything stays in your browser:

• Bookmarks. MyDial reads and changes your browser's bookmarks bar (bookmarks permission). Tiles are your bookmarks. MyDial keeps no separate copy of them.
• Appearance and settings — in the extension storage chrome.storage.sync. If browser sync is on, the browser itself carries these settings to your other computers through your Google account (or Microsoft account in Edge). MyDial takes no part in this and cannot see that data.
• Images (site logos, your own icons, screenshots, background photos) — in IndexedDB and in the extension storage on your computer.
• Backup — a file you save to disk yourself with a button in the settings.

If you remove the extension, the browser deletes this data. Your bookmarks stay.

When MyDial uses the network

1. Site logos. Only if you allowed access to sites (an optional permission the browser asks about separately). Then MyDial loads the home page of a bookmarked site once to find its logo. The request is sent without your cookies (your sign-in is not used). The site gets nothing about you from MyDial beyond an ordinary page request. Without the permission MyDial shows the site icon the browser already has.
2. Site screenshot. If you turned on a screenshot for a tile, MyDial captures the visible part of the page when you open it. The picture is stored only on your computer.
3. Image from a link or dragged from a site. You give the image address yourself, and MyDial downloads it.
4. Search. When the tile search finds nothing and you press Enter, the query goes to the search engine chosen in your browser (search permission). The "Find icon on the web" item opens a DuckDuckGo image search with the site name in a separate window.

MyDial injects nothing into web pages and does not read what happens on them.
