Overview

Times of Malta Reader is a browser extension designed to enhance your reading experience on the Times of Malta website. This privacy policy explains our commitment to protecting your privacy and details our data practices.

Data Collection

We do not collect any personal data. The Times of Malta Reader extension operates with a strict no-data-collection policy.

What this means: We do not collect, store, transmit, or process any information about you, your browsing habits, the articles you read, or any other personal or usage data.

How the Extension Works

The Times of Malta Reader extension operates entirely within your browser. It performs the following functions:

  • Monitors Times of Malta web pages for overlay elements that may block content
  • Removes blocking elements to ensure article visibility
  • Restores normal scrolling functionality when needed
  • Prevents overlay elements from reappearing during your browsing session

All processing happens locally in your browser. No data leaves your device.

Permissions Explained

The extension requires certain permissions to function. Here's why each permission is needed:

Access to timesofmalta.com

Required to monitor and modify the display of Times of Malta pages. The extension only works on this specific domain and cannot access any other websites you visit.

declarativeNetRequest

Allows the extension to block specific scripts that create overlay elements. This prevents problematic content from loading in the first place, improving page load speed.

Scripting

Enables the extension to run code that detects and removes overlay elements on Times of Malta pages. This code operates only within your browser and does not communicate with external servers.

Third-Party Services

The Times of Malta Reader extension does not use any third-party services, analytics platforms, or external APIs. It does not integrate with advertising networks, tracking services, or any other external systems.

Data Storage

The extension does not store any data locally on your device or in the cloud. It does not use cookies, local storage, or any other storage mechanisms to save information about your usage.

Updates to This Policy

If we make any changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Any changes will be reflected in updated versions of the extension distributed through the Chrome Web Store.
