Leenkat New Tab
Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. Leenkat New Tab stores your data locally on your device and is designed with transparency, security, and user control in mind.

Last updated: August 1, 2026 Leenkat (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the Leenkat New Tab Chrome extension collects, uses, and stores information.

1. Information We Store

Leenkat New Tab stores your extension preferences locally using Chrome’s chrome.storage.local API.

This may include:

  • Saved websites
  • Website groups
  • Custom website icons (if configured)
  • Search engine preferences
  • Appearance and interface settings
  • Date, time, language, and personalization preferences
  • Backup metadata

All of this information is stored locally within your Chrome profile.

We do not transmit this information to Leenkat servers.

2. Website Favicons

When a website uses the Favicon icon option, the extension retrieves the website’s favicon using Google’s Favicon Service.

To retrieve the favicon, the saved website URL is sent to Google’s favicon endpoint.

This request is used solely to obtain the website icon.

Leenkat does not receive, store, or process these requests.

If you choose a Custom Icon URL, the extension loads the image only from the URL that you explicitly provide.

3. Search

When you perform a search from the extension, your search query is sent directly to the search engine you selected.

Supported search providers include:

  • Google
  • Bing
  • DuckDuckGo
  • Yahoo
  • Brave Search
  • Ecosia
  • Startpage
  • Qwant
  • Yandex
  • Custom Search URL

Leenkat does not intercept, record, or store your searches.

Leenkat New Tab does not collect:

  • Personal information
  • Browsing history
  • Analytics
  • Usage statistics
  • Crash reports
  • Advertising identifiers

5. Remote Services

The extension does not use remote executable code.

The only external requests performed by the extension are:

  • Requests to your selected search engine when you perform a search.
  • Requests to Google’s Favicon Service when the Favicon option is used.
  • Requests to Custom Icon URLs that you explicitly configure.

7. Data Sharing

Leenkat does not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties.

8. Security

Your extension data remains stored locally within your Chrome profile.

Because no Leenkat servers are used for synchronization or analytics, your data remains under your control.

Any updates will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
