Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 July 2026

The short version: Yonder converts the text you highlight on your own device. It has no accounts, no analytics, and collects no personal data. The only network request it ever makes is to fetch public currency exchange rates — with no information about you attached.

What Yonder can access

To convert a value you highlight, the content script reads your current text selection on the page. That text is parsed and converted locally, in the page, and is never transmitted, logged, or stored anywhere.

Data we collect

None. Yonder has no servers, no user accounts, and no analytics or telemetry of any kind. We cannot see what you convert, what pages you visit, or that you use the extension at all.

Network activity

Yonder makes exactly one type of outbound request: fetching the daily currency exchange-rate table from open.er-api.com, a public endpoint that requires no API key. This request contains no identifiers, no selection text, and nothing about you or the page you're on. Rates are cached locally and refreshed at most twice a day. If the request fails, Yonder falls back to a rate snapshot bundled inside the extension, so it keeps working offline.

Unit and time-zone conversions never touch the network — they are pure local calculations using your browser's built-in internationalization engine.

Where your settings live

Your preferences — currency, unit system, time zones, and language — are stored using the browser's storage.sync API. This keeps them in sync across your own signed-in browser profile via your browser vendor (Google or Microsoft) and is never sent to us. You can clear them at any time by removing the extension.

Permissions, explained

storage — save your settings and cache exchange rates.
host access to open.er-api.com — fetch exchange rates, and nothing else.
access to page content — read the text you highlight so it can be converted. Yonder does not use the tabs permission and cannot read your browsing history.

Third parties

Yonder contains no third-party tracking scripts, advertising, or SDKs. Exchange-rate data is provided by open.er-api.com under its own terms; requests to it are subject to their privacy practices, but again carry no information about you.

Children

Yonder is a general-purpose utility, collects no data, and is suitable for all ages.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the “last updated” date above will change with it. Material changes will be noted in the extension's release notes.
