Last updated: 2 July 2026

checknewsin1.click CN1C Chrome Extension

This policy describes what data the CN1C website and the CN1C Chrome extension process, where it goes, and what we never collect. We have tried to keep it short and honest.

1 · What gets sent and where

Data When Destination Retention

2 · What we do not collect

No browsing history, visited URLs, or page metadata.
No analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking of any kind.
No advertising identifiers or third-party tracking pixels.
No user accounts, registrations, or email addresses.
No cookies set by our code (Google Fonts may set one — see below).
No profiling — we cannot link any text to any person.

3 · Chrome extension permissions

Chrome requires us to declare every capability the extension uses. Here is exactly why each permission is needed.

activeTab
scripting
storage
contextMenus
host_permissions

4 · Research context

5 · Contact & updates

Questions about this policy can be directed to the CN1C project team at the Quality & Usability Lab, TU Berlin. We will update the date at the top of this page when the policy changes; continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
