Privacy Policy

**Effective Date:** October 13, 2026

At Somaliland Flag & Custom Emojis, we are deeply committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy serves to explicitly clarify the technical operation of our browser extension and to confirm our absolute data-protection standards. 

Our core privacy philosophy is simple: **We do not want, request, see, or collect your data.**

### 1. 100% Local Browser Operation

The Somaliland Flag & Custom Emojis extension operates entirely locally within your device's web browser environment. The text-scanning and image-replacement script runs exclusively on your local machine. All custom emoji graphics, flag assets, and emblem files are bundled directly inside the extension package itself. The extension does not pull resources from external servers to function, nor does it require any background internet connectivity to process your text shortcodes.

### 2. Zero Data Collection and Tracking

We believe that your web browsing habits should remain entirely your own. Because the extension operates strictly on a local loop, it implements a rigid zero-data-collection policy:

* **No Browsing History:** The extension does not log, track, record, or monitor the websites you visit, the pages you view, or the content you scroll through.

* **No Personal Data:** We do not collect, request, or have access to any personal identity information, such as your name, email address, IP address, device identifiers, or account credentials.

* **No Input Tracking:** The extension only scans layout text nodes for your specific predefined shortcodes to swap them with images. It does not track, store, or intercept any other keystrokes, messages, or text inputs.

### 3. Zero Data Transmission and Storage

Because our extension does not capture any user information, there is zero data to store or transmit. We do not own, operate, or maintain any external databases or cloud servers. Absolutely no data generated during your browsing session is transmitted off your computer or phone. Your interactions with the extension remain entirely self-contained within your local browser session.

### 4. Third-Party Sharing Disclosures

We do not engage in the sale, trade, rental, or sharing of user information because we hold no user data to begin with. There are no tracking scripts, analytics cookies, or third-party marketing tools embedded within our code. No data is ever shared with advertising networks, corporate entities, analytics firms, or any third-party individuals under any circumstances.

### 5. Summary of Compliance

This extension has been meticulously engineered to require the lowest possible system permissions necessary to function, ensuring total alignment with the strict privacy standards enforced by the Google Chrome Web Store and the Mozilla Firefox Add-ons directory. Anyone can safely use this extension with complete peace of mind, knowing their digital identity and browsing privacy remain entirely uninterrupted and untouched.
