Privacy Policy — YoWorld Paint (Chrome Extension)
Effective date: October 16, 2025
Extension version: v3.2
Developer: “Gothicka YW” (independent publisher)

Summary
YoWorld Paint does not collect, sell, or share personal information. The extension operates locally in your browser. When you choose to upload an image using your own ImgBB API key, the image is sent directly to ImgBB’s servers for hosting. No data is sent to or controlled by the developer.

Data the extension handles
• User-generated images that you choose to upload.
• A user-provided ImgBB API key (optional; required only if you use the upload feature).
• Local preferences and settings (e.g., saved image links, board layouts, UI options).
• For the Sales Boards capture feature: locally stored CSS selectors and your last picked index to locate repeating cards on yoworld.info. This is used only to compute a local crop for your preview/export.

Local storage
• The extension may store your settings (including your ImgBB API key if you choose) locally using Chrome storage.
• This data remains on your device under your browser profile.
• You can delete it at any time by removing the extension or clearing the extension’s stored data in your browser.
• Sales Boards capture stores only minimal data (selectors and pick index) needed to repeat the capture; no browsing or personal data is stored.

Data transmission to third parties
• If you use the upload feature, images you select are transmitted directly from your browser to ImgBB using your own API key.
• The developer does not receive, proxy, or store your images, API key, or related metadata.
• ImgBB processes and hosts the uploaded content under its own terms and policies. See: https://imgbb.com/privacy

Connections to YoWorld.info
• The extension makes read-only requests to https://api.yoworld.info/* and https://yoworld.info/* to retrieve public game item data and images.
• These calls are used solely to populate in-game item references and metadata for building YoWorld paint boards and to enable on-page selection for the Sales Boards capture.
• No personal or identifiable user data is sent to or collected from these sites.
• The extension does not write to or modify any external data.
• When capturing a Sales Board, the screenshot/crop is computed locally in your browser. No image or metadata is sent to the developer.

Connections to Facebook and YoWorld domains
• The extension interacts with https://*.facebook.com/* and https://*.fbcdn.net/* because YoWorld is accessed through Facebook.
• These connections are required to allow in-game redirects, apply actions, and load YoWorld assets served from Facebook’s CDNs.
• The extension also connects to https://yoworld.com/* and https://*.yoworld.com/*, which are core game domains.
• These permissions enable the minimal content script and “apply” or redirect actions needed to set user-uploaded images as YoWorld boards.
• No personal information, login data, or Facebook account content is accessed, collected, or stored.

What the developer does NOT collect
• No account information, browsing history, identifiers, or personal information.
• No analytics, tracking, advertising, fingerprinting, or telemetry.
• No server-side collection of any kind.

Purpose of use
• Images are uploaded solely to provide you with a shareable/hosted image URL for use with YoWorld boards.
• Local storage is used only to remember your preferences and improve extension functionality on your device.
• YoWorld.info connections are used exclusively for accurate item image and metadata lookups.
• Facebook and YoWorld host permissions are used to ensure correct operation when the game runs within the Facebook or YoWorld environments.

Security
• Data stored by the extension is kept within your browser’s local storage.
• Transmissions to ImgBB occur over HTTPS (as provided by ImgBB). Keep your API key private; do not share it.
• YoWorld.info, Facebook, and YoWorld connections are HTTPS-secured and read-only.
• Because the developer does not operate any servers for this extension, no developer-side data breach surface exists.

Data retention and deletion
• Local data persists until you clear it or uninstall the extension.
• Images uploaded to ImgBB are subject to ImgBB’s retention and deletion controls. Manage or delete hosted content via ImgBB.

Children’s privacy
• The extension is not directed to children under 13 and does not collect personal information.

Changes to this policy
• If this policy changes, the “Effective date” will be updated. Continued use of the extension after changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
