Privacy Policy [Lucky Address Bar]

Extension Name: Lucky Address Bar
Developer: Lucky
Effective Date: June 22, 2025
Last Updated: June 22, 2025

1. Introduction

Lucky Address Bar (“we,” “our,” or “the Extension”) is committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining transparency about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome extension operates and what information, if any, is processed when you use our service.

2. Information Collection and Use

2.1 Personal Information

We DO NOT collect, store, or process any personal information. Lucky Address Bar is designed with privacy-by-design principles, ensuring that no personal data is gathered, transmitted to our servers, or retained in any form.

2.2 Browsing Data

We DO NOT:

  • Track your browsing history
  • Monitor your search queries beyond their immediate use
  • Store any user data on external servers
  • Create user profiles or accounts
  • Use analytics, tracking pixels, or similar technologies
  • Employ cookies or local storage for data collection purposes

3. How the Extension Works

Lucky Address Bar operates entirely within your local browser environment:

  1. Local Processing: When you type “/” followed by a search term in your address bar, the extension processes this locally
  2. Direct Search: Your query is sent directly to Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” search service
  3. Immediate Navigation: You are redirected to the top search result
  4. No Intermediary: No data passes through our servers at any point in this process

User Input → Local Browser Processing → Google Search API → Direct Navigation

4. Permissions and Their Purpose

Lucky Address Bar requests specific permissions solely for functionality purposes:

4.1 contextMenus

  • Purpose: Adds “Lucky Search” option to right-click context menus
  • Data Access: Only accesses selected text when you explicitly choose this menu option
  • Usage: Text is immediately used for search and not stored or transmitted elsewhere

4.2 tabs

  • Purpose: Enables opening search results in new tabs or updating the current tab
  • Data Access: Limited to navigation-related tab properties (URL, loading status)
  • Usage: Only for navigation functionality; no data retention

4.3 activeTab

  • Purpose: Allows interaction with the currently active tab for navigation purposes
  • Data Access: Minimal access to current tab properties for navigation
  • Usage: Exclusively for managing search result navigation

4.4 Host Permissions

  • Domains: https://www.google.com/* and https://google.com/*
  • Purpose: Required to communicate with Google’s search services
  • Usage: Only for sending search queries and receiving navigation instructions

5. Third-Party Services

The only external service Lucky Address Bar interacts with is:

Google Search Services

  • Your search queries are transmitted directly to Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” service
  • This interaction is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy
  • We do not intercept, modify, or store these communications

6. Data Retention and Storage

We retain zero data because our extension does not collect any data. All processing occurs locally within your browser session and is not persistent beyond the immediate search operation.

7. Security Measures

Our security approach focuses on minimizing risk through data minimization:

  • Secure Connections: All communications use HTTPS encryption
  • Minimal Permissions: We request only essential permissions for functionality
  • Local Processing: No server-side data handling eliminates server security risks
  • Content Security Policy: Implemented to prevent unauthorized code execution
  • Regular Updates: Extension is maintained with security best practices

8. Children’s Privacy

Lucky Address Bar does not collect any information from users of any age, including children under 13. The extension is designed to be safe and appropriate for users of all ages while complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

9. International Compliance

This extension complies with international privacy regulations including:

  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) – EU
  • CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) – California, USA
  • PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) – Canada
  • Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies

Since we do not collect personal data, many traditional privacy regulation requirements do not apply to our extension.

10. User Rights and Control

While traditional data subject rights (access, portability, deletion) are not applicable due to our no-data-collection approach, you maintain full control through:

  • Uninstallation: Remove the extension at any time through Chrome’s extension management
  • Permission Management: Modify or revoke permissions through Chrome settings
  • Feature Control: Enable or disable specific extension features as desired

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or extension functionality. When we make changes:

  • The “Last Updated” date will be revised
  • Significant changes will be communicated through our website
  • Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy

12. Transparency and Open Source

In our commitment to transparency, we encourage users to:

  • Review our extension’s code and functionality
  • Contact us with any privacy concerns or questions
  • Provide feedback on our privacy practices
