SuperStarter is a Chrome extension that replaces the New Tab page with a personal dashboard: lofi radio, Todoist tasks, sticky notes, and weather. This policy explains what data the extension handles, where it goes, and what it doesn't do.
All of the following is stored locally using Chrome's built-in extension storage
(chrome.storage.local) and never leaves your device except as described in
the next section:
| Data | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Todoist API token | Lets the extension read/write your Todoist tasks, if you choose to connect it |
| Weather location | A searched city, an automatic IP-based estimate, or (if you opt in) precise GPS coordinates |
| Sticky notes | The text you write in the Notes widget |
| Selected radio station | Which SomaFM stream plays by default |
| Widget layout | Column count and the position/order of each widget |
| Background image choice | Which photo (if any) you picked from Openverse |
| Appearance preferences | Clear/glassy widgets toggle, and similar display settings |
Uninstalling the extension deletes all of this, since it only ever existed in Chrome's local storage for this extension — nowhere else.
SuperStarter contacts the following services directly from your browser, only when the corresponding feature is actively used. We do not operate, control, log, or have access to any of these services or the data sent to them — your browser talks to them directly, the same way it would if you visited their website.
| Service | Data sent | Purpose | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Todoist (api.todoist.com) | Your API token; task text you type | Read/sync/create/edit your tasks | Only if you've connected a Todoist token |
| Open-Meteo | Latitude/longitude, or a city name you search | Weather forecast; city search | Whenever the Weather widget loads or you search a city |
| ipwho.is / ipapi.co | Your IP address (inherent to any web request) | Approximate location for weather, no permission prompt | Automatically on first use, unless set manually |
| BigDataCloud | Latitude/longitude | Converts coordinates into a place name | After using "precise device location" |
| Openverse (api.openverse.org) | The text you search | Finds an openly-licensed background photo | Only if you search for a background |
| SomaFM | Nothing beyond a standard audio stream request | Plays the lofi radio | Only while a station is playing |
None of these requests carry any identifying information beyond what's inherent to a normal web request (such as your IP address, which any website or API you visit can see regardless of this extension).
SuperStarter is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from children.
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top will change accordingly. Since the extension has no way to notify you directly, please check back periodically if you have concerns.
