Data We Process
YoWorld Paint may process the following data only as needed for functionality:
- Image links you enter or generate
- Images you choose to paste, drop, or upload
- User preferences/settings (theme, view mode, uploader settings, API key)
- Temporary state needed for board generation, preview, tools, and redirect workflows
Where Data Is Stored
chrome.storage.sync: Used for cross-device preference sync where available (for example: theme, view mode, uploader settings, API key)chrome.storage.local: Used for local runtime/state values required by extension features
External Services and Network Use
Data is sent externally only when necessary for user-initiated features:
- Picrd API (
https://picrd.com/*): Default Quick Upload host; receives only images the user explicitly uploads and returns an unlisted direct link - ImgBB API (
https://api.imgbb.com/*): Used only when the user selects ImgBB and uploads an image via Quick Upload - wsrv.nl image relay (
https://wsrv.nl/*): Receives the public image link selected by the user during preview and an enabled Paint Board redirect, then returns a compatible PNG - YoWorld domains: Used only for the Paint Board apply and redirect workflow
The extension does not continuously transmit browsing activity.
