Privacy Policy
In short: the extension does not collect any personal data. It has no server, does not ask you to create an account, and your settings stay in your browser.
No data collection. No account, no key, no email address requested, no usage statistics, no advertising, no tracking, no selling or sharing of data. The publisher receives no information from the extension.
1. Data controller
The “EcoQuant” extension and this website are published by Damien Pino, an independent developer (personal, non-commercial project). Contact for any question about your data: pinodamien@gmail.com.
2. Data stored in your browser
To work, the extension only saves technical information, in your browser's
storage (chrome.storage). It never leaves your device to reach the
publisher:
| Data | Location | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your settings: calendar source, impact levels, currencies, alert lead times, alert type, volume, quiet hours | chrome.storage.sync |
To apply your preferences. If Chrome sync is turned on, Google syncs these settings across your devices (processing performed by Google, under its own rules). |
| Downloaded calendar, news already alerted, results already notified, muted news (bell) | chrome.storage.local |
To display the calendar, schedule alerts and avoid duplicates |
| Values entered in the calculator, cached exchange rates | chrome.storage.local |
To restore your last calculation and limit requests |
None of this data can identify you. The extension does not read the pages you visit, your history, or your tabs.
3. Third-party services contacted
The extension has no server. Your browser contacts three public services directly, solely to retrieve data:
| Domain | Why |
|---|---|
www.investing.com |
Economic calendar (default source) and actual figure after release. |
nfs.faireconomy.media |
Public Forex Factory calendar feed (optional or fallback source). |
api.frankfurter.dev |
ECB exchange rates for the position size calculator. |
These requests contain no personal data and none of your settings: only the necessary parameters (calendar dates, base currency for the rates). As with any web connection, these services technically receive your IP address and standard browser information; the request to Investing.com also reuses any cookies that site may have already set in your browser (to get past its anti-bot protection). These services process this information in accordance with their own privacy policies. The extension is not affiliated with any of them.
4. Extension permissions

5. What the extension never does
- Collect, transmit or sell personal or usage data.
- Use audience analytics tools, advertising or trackers.
- Read the content of the pages you visit, your history or your credentials.
- Run remote code: all the code is included in the extension and published on GitHub.
The extension's use of information complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
6. Retention and deletion
The data stays in your browser as long as the extension is installed. The cached calendar is replaced at each refresh. Uninstalling the extension deletes its local data; synced settings are deleted by Chrome. You can also reset your settings at any time from the Settings page.
7. Your rights (GDPR)
In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the French Data Protection Act (loi Informatique et Libertés), you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability. Since the publisher does not hold any data about you through the extension, these rights are exercised directly in your browser (changing or deleting your settings, uninstalling the extension). For any question, write to pinodamien@gmail.com. If you write by email, your address and your message are only used to reply to you. You may also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (the French data protection authority).
8. This website
This website is a static site hosted by GitHub Pages. It sets no cookies and does not use any audience measurement tool. Like any hosting provider, GitHub may record technical logs (including IP addresses) to ensure the security of the service, in accordance with its privacy statement.
9. Changes
This policy will be updated if the way the extension works changes (for example, a new service being contacted). The date of the last update appears at the top of the page.
