A personal desktop should stay personal.

What Deskpot stores on your device

Deskpot uses Chrome's local extension storage to remember the desktop you create. This can include shortcut names and website addresses, folders, dock order, wallpaper choices or a custom wallpaper, plant status, countdown names and dates, weather location and cached forecast data, calendar visibility, a limited cache of Google Calendar event titles and times for the visible month, preferences, and onboarding status.

Folder passcodes are not stored as readable passcodes. Deskpot stores a locally generated salt and cryptographic hash on your device. Folder locks are a local convenience feature, not encrypted storage. Google Calendar events and connection status are excluded from Deskpot JSON backups. Your backup is created only when you choose to export it.

Information used for specific features

Adding the current website

When you press Deskpot's toolbar button, Chrome gives Deskpot temporary access to the active tab so its title and address can be saved as a shortcut. Deskpot does not continuously monitor browsing activity.

Chrome bookmarks

Chrome bookmark access is optional and is requested only when you enable Saved from this site from a website shortcut's right-click menu. If granted, Deskpot reads bookmark titles, addresses, folders, and available bookmark dates directly from Chrome to find pages belonging to that shortcut's hostname and subdomains. It shows up to 5 matches in the menu, lets you view additional matches, and hides the bookmark section when the site has no matches.

Deskpot does not create, edit, move, delete, upload, or copy Chrome bookmarks into Deskpot storage. Matches are read live when you use the feature. You can remove bookmark permission from Chrome's extension settings.

Search

When you submit a non-URL search, Deskpot hands the query to Chrome's search API. Chrome sends it to the search provider you selected in your browser. Deskpot does not save the query.

Weather

When you choose a city, Deskpot sends the city name to Open-Meteo's geocoding service and uses the resulting approximate coordinates to request weather information. The result is cached locally for up to 30 minutes. Deskpot does not request precise device location.

Google Calendar

Google Calendar access is optional and begins only when you choose Connect Google Calendar and grant consent. Deskpot requests the read-only calendar-events scope and retrieves event titles, start and end times, all-day status, and Google Calendar links from the connected account's primary calendar for the visible month. Deskpot does not create, edit, or delete calendar information. Chrome manages the OAuth access token. Deskpot caches the limited event list locally so the panel can remain useful between refreshes.

You can disconnect inside Deskpot at any time. Disconnecting clears Deskpot's cached authorization, connection status, and locally cached calendar events. You can also revoke access from your Google Account permissions.

What the website handles

This website does not use advertising trackers, analytics scripts, account registration, or marketing cookies in its initial release. Hosting infrastructure may process standard network information, such as an IP address, browser type, and request logs, to deliver and secure the website.

How information is shared

Deskpot does not sell personal information and does not share information for advertising. Information leaves the device only when necessary for a feature you choose, such as requesting calendar events from Google, sending a city and approximate coordinates to Open-Meteo, or sending a search query to your browser's selected search provider.

Retention and deletion

Locally stored Deskpot information remains until you change it, reset Deskpot, clear the extension's storage, or uninstall the extension. Cached weather data is refreshed periodically. Cached Google Calendar events are replaced when you refresh or change the visible month and are deleted when you disconnect or reset Deskpot. You can export a backup before resetting or uninstalling, but the export does not contain Google Calendar events or authorization.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

Deskpot's use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Children's privacy

Deskpot is a general-audience productivity extension and is not directed to children under 13. Deskpot does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
