This is a personal start page. Here is what it does with your data, in addition to this site's main privacy policy, which also applies here.
App shortcuts. The icons you add, remove, or group into folders on this page are saved only in your browser's local storage, on this device. They are never sent to or stored on our servers, and they will not appear if you open this page in another browser, device, or incognito window. To show their icons, your browser loads each one from Google's icon service (www.google.com/s2/favicons), which tells Google the web addresses of your shortcuts, along with your IP address. The list of suggested sites under Add loads its icons the same way, and the icons of a few Google apps, such as Gmail and Drive, from Google's own address for them (www.gstatic.com).
Tasks, notes and settings. Your tasks, your note, your habits and the days you ticked, which tiles are shown and in what order, your shortcut style, wallpaper and search engine, and your light or dark preference are saved only in your browser’s local storage, the same way as app shortcuts. They are never sent to our servers.
Shortcut suggestions. When you go to a site by typing its address in the search box, this page notes the site's name and the day in your browser's local storage, for up to 30 days. A site you type on 3 different days is suggested under Quick Dial until you add it or tap the cross. Nothing is sent to our servers. Turn it off under Suggest shortcuts in the Menu, which also deletes what was noted.
Focus timer. This tile is off until you turn it on in the Menu. The timer, its lengths, the task you pick and how many sessions you finished today are saved only in your browser's local storage. The chime is made by your browser. If you ask to be notified, your browser asks your permission first and shows the notification itself; nothing is sent to our servers.
Read later. The links you save to read later, and whether you have read them, are saved only in your browser's local storage. They are never sent to our servers. A link opens on its own website when you tap it.
Verse of the day. The Verse of the day tile asks this site for one of the verses published here, sending only today's date on your device so the verse changes at your midnight.
On this day. This tile is on unless you turn it off in the Menu. It comes from Wikipedia's daily featured feed: your browser sends today's date to this site, and this site fetches the feed from Wikipedia, so Wikipedia does not see your IP address for that. The tile's photo loads straight from Wikimedia's servers, which see your IP address when it loads. Links open on Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons, and their own privacy policy applies there.
News. The News tile asks this site for headlines from the sources you pick, and this site fetches them from those publishers' public RSS feeds, so the publishers do not see your IP address until you open a story. Stories open on the publisher's own website. The sources you pick are saved only in your browser's local storage.
Weather. The city you pick is saved only in your browser's local storage, with the last forecast. When you search for a city, this site passes the name you typed to OpenStreetMap's place search (Nominatim) to find it. For the forecast, this site asks MET Norway (the Norwegian Meteorological Institute) for the weather at that city's location, rounded to about a kilometre. Neither service sees your IP address. If you use "Use my location", your browser asks you first, and your position is rounded to about a kilometre before it leaves your device; this site then asks OpenStreetMap for the name of the town there.
Backups. Back up makes a file with your shortcuts, tasks, note, habits and settings on your own device; on a phone it opens your share menu, and where you save or send the file is up to you. Copy backup puts the same text on your clipboard. Nothing is uploaded to this site. Restore reads a backup file, or pasted text, in your browser.
Search box. As you type, the text so far is sent to this site, which passes it to DuckDuckGo's public autocomplete service to show suggestions, so DuckDuckGo does not see your IP address. Nothing is sent for suggestions while an instant answer is showing, or when you type a web address. When you press Enter, your search opens on the search engine you picked in the Menu (Google, unless you change it), or the web address you typed opens directly; from then on, that search engine's or that site's own privacy policy applies. Your choice of search engine is saved only in your browser's local storage.
Instant answers. Sums, unit conversions and time zone answers shown under the search box are worked out in your browser. While an answer is showing, the text is not sent for suggestions.
Server logs. Like most websites, this site's server keeps a standard technical log of the requests it receives. Each entry records the web address requested and the network address the request came from. For this page, that includes the text sent for search suggestions, the city names you search for weather, and the rounded locations sent for forecasts.
Analytics and fonts. Like other pages on this site, this page uses Google Analytics to understand general visitor behaviour such as page views. No personally identifiable information is sent to Google Analytics. The page's typefaces load from Google Fonts, which sees your IP address when they load.
No ads run on this page, and there are no third-party trackers other than Google Analytics.
