Open data in GeoLibre does not independently collect, retain, or sell personal information, page contents, or usage analytics. It does forward the complete dataset, service, and style URLs that the user explicitly selects, as described below.
The extension uses Chrome's activeTab permission to inspect links and
structured metadata on the current page only after the user clicks the
extension's toolbar icon. The extension also observes completed HTTP(S)
requests locally to identify geospatial services used by interactive maps. It
does not inspect response bodies. Detected service URLs are held in Chrome's
in-memory session storage and removed when their tab closes.
When the user chooses Open in GeoLibre, the complete selected HTTP(S)
dataset and style URLs are placed in the query string of a new
https://web.geolibre.app/ tab. These URLs are forwarded verbatim and may
contain signed query parameters, access tokens, user identifiers, or other
personal data. Do not select a URL containing information you do not want to
send to GeoLibre.
The navigation request exposes its URL and the user's IP address to GeoLibre's web-hosting infrastructure, where standard service logs may retain them. The navigation may also appear in browser history. See the current GeoLibre privacy policy for the service's data practices. The extension itself does not persist URLs beyond the browser tab's session.
The extension does not fetch or upload the datasets. GeoLibre requests them directly from their original servers, subject to those servers' privacy policies and CORS configuration. Cookies and other browser-session credentials from the source page are not forwarded, although credentials embedded directly in a selected URL are part of the URL and are forwarded.
The extension uses no remote code, advertising, analytics, tracking pixels, cookies, accounts, or persistent extension storage.
