Indie Wiki Buddy Privacy Policy

This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare's privacy policy is available here.

The Indie Wiki Buddy browser extension links to and redirects users to external, third-party websites not controlled by the extension. These websites have their own privacy policies and practices. Users should visit these websites at their own risk.

Indie Wiki Buddy's settings and stats are stored in your browser's storage, both locally and in sync storage (if supported).

Indie Wiki Buddy can see which Fandom and Fextralife wikis you visit for the purpose of redirecting you to alternative wikis and the BreezeWiki alternative frontend, if enabled. Your browsing history on these websites is not stored or transmitted anywhere by Indie Wiki Buddy.

Indie Wiki Buddy can also see your activity on search engines (as of version 3.2.0, this includes Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Brave Search, Ecosia, and Startpage). This allows Indie Wiki Buddy to filter search engine results for Fandom and Fextralife wikis. Your activity on search engines is not stored or transmitted anywhere by Indie Wiki Buddy.

If the BreezeWiki redirect functionality has been enabled, the extension will pull a list of working BreezeWiki instances from https://bw.getindie.wiki/instances.json, which is managed by the Indie Wiki Buddy developer and delivered via Cloudlfare Pages. This is done in order to provide the extension with an up-to-date list of working BreezeWiki mirrors.

Indie Wiki Buddy will also send an "x-indie-wiki" header whenever you visit a supported BreezeWiki mirror; this header informs BreezeWiki about whether you have Indie Wiki Buddy, whether it is on, and whether you have BreezeWiki redirecting enabled. This allows BreezeWiki to customize itself for a better experience (such as hiding any promotions for Indie Wiki Buddy).

Your browser and the online store you acquire the extension through (e.g. Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons) may perform its own data collection.
