Privacy Policy for talcum ritual

Last updated: August 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how information is accessed, processed, stored, and handled when you install or use the talcum ritual browser extension.

talcum ritual is a visual customization extension that enhances the browsing experience by displaying soft white talcum dust textures that pulse rhythmically across the background of the currently active webpage.

Users can activate and customize the visual effect through the extension's toolbar popup. The extension uses limited browser permissions to apply the effect only after the user initiates an action, while customization settings are stored locally in the user's browser for convenience.

Privacy Summary

talcum ritual does not require users to create an account or provide personal information to use its core functionality.

The extension uses activeTab only after user interaction, uses scripting to apply its declared visual effect to the active page, and uses storage to save extension settings locally in the browser.

The permissions are intended solely to provide the extension's user-facing visual customization features.

1. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies specifically to the talcum ritual browser extension and the features provided directly through the extension.

It does not govern independent websites, browser vendors, operating systems, browser marketplaces, or other third-party services that users may access separately.

2. Core Purpose of talcum ritual

The single purpose of talcum ritual is to provide a customizable ambient visual effect within the user's current webpage.

The extension displays soft white talcum dust textures that pulse in rhythmic clusters across the page background.

Users can access controls from the browser toolbar popup to activate, deactivate, or customize the visual effect.

3. Information We Require

talcum ritual does not require users to provide personally identifiable information in order to use its standard functionality.

Users are not required to provide:

4. No Account Required

talcum ritual does not require users to create a dedicated account to activate or customize the visual effect.

Users do not need to register a username, password, profile, or email address to access the extension's core functionality.

5. Browser Permissions

talcum ritual uses browser permissions that are directly related to its disclosed functionality.

These permissions allow the extension to apply the visual effect to the currently active page after the user intentionally invokes the extension and to remember customization preferences locally.

activeTab Permission

talcum ritual uses the activeTab permission only when the user invokes the extension on the currently active browser tab.

This temporary access allows the extension to apply its declared visual effect to the page selected by the user.

The permission is not intended to provide continuous access to every website the user visits.

scripting Permission

talcum ritual uses the scripting permission to execute the code necessary to display its visual effect on the currently active tab after the user initiates an action.

Script execution allows the extension to add, update, or remove the talcum dust textures and related animation elements required by the extension's declared feature.

The scripting permission is intended solely to run the extension's user-requested visual functionality.

storage Permission

talcum ritual uses the storage permission to save extension preferences locally in the user's browser.

Stored values may include visual effect settings, customization options, intensity values, animation preferences, or other configuration required to restore the user's preferred setup.

This local storage is intended to improve convenience and is not used to create advertising profiles or track users across unrelated websites.

6. User-Initiated Operation

talcum ritual is designed around intentional user interaction.

The extension applies its declared feature only after the user chooses to activate or configure it.

A typical interaction may include:

7. Active Tab Access

Access provided through activeTab is associated with the tab on which the user has invoked the extension.

The purpose of this access is to allow talcum ritual to render its visual effect on the page that the user is currently viewing.

The extension does not need permanent access to all websites simply to provide this feature.

8. Script Injection

In order to display the talcum dust textures across a page background, talcum ritual may inject or execute extension code within the active tab.

This code may create visual layers, animation elements, styles, or related components required to display the effect.

Script injection is intended only to perform functionality explicitly associated with the extension.

9. Page Appearance Changes

talcum ritual temporarily modifies the visual presentation of a webpage when the effect is active.

These visual changes may include:

10. Website Content

talcum ritual may technically interact with the current webpage in order to insert and display its visual effects.

This interaction is intended to be limited to what is reasonably necessary to render the extension's visual components.

The extension is not designed to archive, index, or build datasets from the general content of webpages visited by users.

11. Browsing History

talcum ritual does not require a complete browsing history in order to display its visual effect.

The extension is not designed to create a historical list of websites visited by users.

Browsing history is not required to determine the appearance, intensity, or timing of the talcum dust animation.

12. Search History

talcum ritual does not require users' search engine history in order to provide its functionality.

Search queries entered on unrelated websites are not necessary to render or customize the visual effect.

13. Web Form Information

talcum ritual is not designed to collect information entered into forms on websites.

This includes information entered into:

14. Keystrokes

talcum ritual is not designed to monitor or record keystrokes entered by users on unrelated websites.

Keyboard activity outside the extension's own controls is unnecessary for the extension's declared visual purpose.

15. Extension Settings

talcum ritual may process settings selected through its toolbar popup.

These settings may include:

These values are functional extension settings rather than personally identifying information.

16. Local Storage of Settings

Settings used by talcum ritual are stored locally in the user's browser for convenience.

Local storage allows the extension to remember the user's selected configuration without requiring those settings to be manually recreated each time.

Locally stored settings are used only to support the extension's functionality.

17. Local Data

Information stored through the browser's extension storage may remain on the user's device until it is changed, cleared, or removed.

Depending on browser behavior, extension data may be removed when the extension is uninstalled or when users manually clear extension-related data.

18. Personal Information

talcum ritual does not require personally identifiable information for its standard functionality.

The extension does not need to know the user's real-world identity in order to display ambient background effects.

19. Sensitive Personal Information

talcum ritual is not designed to request or intentionally collect sensitive personal information.

The extension does not require:

20. Passwords and Authentication Credentials

talcum ritual does not require passwords, authentication codes, login tokens, private keys, or similar credentials to provide its visual customization features.

The extension is not intended to obtain credentials entered into websites visited by the user.

21. Financial Information

talcum ritual does not require payment card numbers, banking information, transaction credentials, or other financial information to perform its stated functionality.

22. Location Information

talcum ritual does not require precise geographic location information in order to generate its visual effects.

The extension is not designed to track users' physical movements or build location histories.

23. Private Communications

talcum ritual does not require access to emails, direct messages, chat conversations, or other private communications to perform its standard functionality.

24. Background Monitoring

talcum ritual is not designed to continuously monitor unrelated browsing activity in the background.

Its primary visual effect is initiated by user interaction and applied to the active page as requested.

25. Advertising

talcum ritual does not use extension settings or active-tab access to create targeted advertising profiles.

The extension is not intended to monitor browsing behavior for behavioral advertising, remarketing, or ad personalization.

26. Sale of Personal Information

talcum ritual does not sell personal information to advertisers, marketing organizations, data brokers, or other third parties.

The extension's purpose is to provide visual customization rather than monetize information about users.

27. Data Brokerage

talcum ritual does not operate as a data broker.

Extension preferences and interaction data are not intended to be compiled into commercial datasets for sale or resale.

28. User Profiling

talcum ritual does not use visual effect settings to create behavioral or demographic profiles of individual users.

The extension is not designed to infer sensitive personal characteristics from the user's customization choices.

29. Cross-Site Tracking

talcum ritual is not designed to track users across unrelated websites.

The activeTab permission is used to provide temporary access to the page on which the user invokes the extension and is not intended for persistent cross-site monitoring.

30. Cookies

talcum ritual does not require advertising or tracking cookies to provide its core visual functionality.

The extension is not intended to place tracking cookies on unrelated websites.

Websites visited independently by users may use their own cookies, which are governed by those websites' respective privacy practices.

31. Analytics

talcum ritual does not require personally identifiable analytics information in order to display its visual effect.

Locally stored customization settings are not intended to be combined with unrelated browsing information for advertising analytics or user profiling.

If future versions introduce additional diagnostic or aggregate usage functionality, this Privacy Policy may be updated where appropriate to describe those practices.

32. Data Minimization

talcum ritual follows the principle that a browser extension should use only the information and permissions reasonably necessary to provide its disclosed functionality.

The extension uses temporary active-tab access, scripting for the user-requested visual effect, and local storage for settings instead of requesting unrelated information.

33. Purpose Limitation

Browser access and locally stored settings are intended to be used only to provide, maintain, improve, or secure talcum ritual's disclosed features.

Information available through extension permissions is not intended to be repurposed for unrelated advertising, surveillance, credit scoring, employment screening, or data brokerage.

34. Limited Use of Browser Permissions

talcum ritual uses browser permissions only in connection with its disclosed visual customization functionality.

Specifically:

35. Data Retention

talcum ritual does not require a permanent archive of user browsing activity in order to provide its visual feature.

Locally stored extension settings may remain until users modify them, clear them, or uninstall the extension.

Temporary information required to render the visual effect may exist only while the extension is operating on the active page.

36. Data Security

talcum ritual is designed to minimize unnecessary handling of user information.

Using limited browser permissions and local storage for preferences helps reduce unnecessary data exposure.

However, no browser, device, operating system, extension, or electronic environment can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

37. Third-Party Websites

talcum ritual may operate on webpages provided by third-party websites when the user activates the extension.

Those websites remain independent of talcum ritual.

This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices, cookies, analytics systems, or data processing performed independently by those websites.

38. Third-Party Browser Platforms

talcum ritual operates within a browser environment provided by a browser vendor.

Browser vendors may independently process technical information related to browser operation, security, installation, updates, or extension management according to their own policies.

39. Chrome Web Store and Other Marketplaces

If talcum ritual is distributed through the Chrome Web Store or another browser extension marketplace, installation and update processes may be managed by that platform.

talcum ritual is intended to use browser permissions only for purposes directly related to its disclosed single purpose.

Marketplace providers may separately process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

40. Single Purpose

talcum ritual has a clear single purpose: enhancing the current webpage with a customizable ambient talcum dust visual effect.

Functionality reasonably related to this purpose may include:

41. No Automated High-Impact Decisions

talcum ritual does not use user information to make automated decisions concerning credit, insurance, housing, employment, financial eligibility, legal rights, or similarly significant matters.

Automated processing is limited to the technical operations necessary to display and animate the visual effect.

42. Children's Privacy

talcum ritual is a general-purpose visual customization tool and is not designed specifically to collect personal information from children.

The extension does not require children or other users to submit personal information to access its standard functionality.

43. International Users

talcum ritual may be available to users in different countries and regions.

The extension is designed to minimize unnecessary handling of personal information regardless of the user's location.

Users remain responsible for using the extension in accordance with laws and regulations applicable in their jurisdiction.

44. User Control

Users control when talcum ritual is activated and which settings are used.

Users can open the toolbar popup, adjust customization options, activate the effect, or disable it according to their preferences.

Users may also disable or remove the extension entirely through their browser's extension management interface.

45. Clearing Local Settings

Depending on the browser, users may be able to clear locally stored talcum ritual settings through browser extension management controls, browser data settings, or by uninstalling the extension.

Clearing stored settings may cause previously selected customization options to return to their default values.

46. Removing the Extension

Users may uninstall talcum ritual at any time through their browser's extension management interface.

After removal, talcum ritual will no longer be able to apply visual effects to webpages in that browser.

47. No Unrelated Commercial Use

talcum ritual does not intend to use locally stored effect preferences or temporary active-tab access for unrelated commercial profiling.

The extension's browser capabilities are intended solely to support its disclosed visual functionality.

48. No Collection of Login Information

talcum ritual is not designed to obtain usernames or passwords entered into websites.

Login credentials are unrelated to the extension's purpose and are not required to generate its visual effects.

49. No Collection of Payment Data

talcum ritual does not require access to payment forms, credit card numbers, bank information, or checkout information to provide its functionality.

50. No Collection of Private Messages

Private emails, chat messages, social network communications, and direct messages are not required for talcum ritual's visual effect and are not intended to be collected by the extension.

51. Changes to talcum ritual

talcum ritual may evolve over time to improve visual quality, animation performance, customization options, accessibility, browser compatibility, or interface design.

Future versions may introduce additional settings that remain consistent with the extension's core visual customization purpose.

If a future release materially changes how user information is accessed, processed, or stored, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.

52. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to the extension, browser platform requirements, technical implementation, applicable laws, or privacy practices.

When this Privacy Policy is updated, the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page will be revised.

Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically if they wish to remain informed about how talcum ritual handles information.

53. Legal Requirements

Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, legal process, or another valid governmental request.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to prevent compliance with applicable legal obligations.
