Extenshi operates an independent catalog of browser extensions. To build it we collect publicly available material from third-party stores and web archives, and we store and analyze extension packages and their contents. We respect the rights of authors, rights holders, and individuals. This policy explains how to ask us to remove material you own or that concerns you.
Overview
There are two distinct kinds of request, handled differently. Use the one that fits, or tell us both apply:
- Copyright / intellectual-property takedown — you own or represent the owner of code, screenshots, descriptions, icons, or other material that we host or display, and you want it removed.
- Personal data removal — information about you as an identifiable person (for example a developer name, contact email, website, or a review attributed to you) appears in the catalog and you want it erased or corrected under data-protection law.
Copyright & intellectual-property takedown
If you believe material on Extenshi infringes a copyright or other intellectual-property right you own or are authorized to act for, send a notice to [email protected] with the subject line “Takedown request”. To let us act quickly, please include:
- Identification of the work or material claimed to be infringed.
- The exact location on Extenshi (the extension store and store ID, and the page URL or asset URL).
- Your relationship to the rights holder and, where relevant, evidence of ownership or authority to act.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
- Your contact details and a signature (an electronic signature is acceptable).
On a valid notice we will remove or disable access to the identified material, including any stored extension package, extracted source, or rehosted media asset within our control, without undue delay.
Personal data removal (data-protection rights)
The catalog may include personal data collected indirectly from public sources — for example a developer’s published name, contact email, website, or social links, and review text attributed to a named author. We process this on the basis of legitimate interest, as described in our Privacy policy and Extension data disclaimer.
If you are the person that data concerns, you may ask us to access, correct, restrict, object to, or erase it. You do not need an account, and exercising these rights is free. Send your request to [email protected] with the subject line “Personal data removal”. To help us locate the data and avoid acting on a request from the wrong person, please include the extension store and store ID, the page URL, and a brief description of the data and the change you want. We may ask for proportionate verification before acting.
Account holders can also exercise these rights for their own account data; see the Privacy policy for what we hold and our retention periods.
Harmful or unlawful third-party links
The catalog mirrors public store metadata that can include links to external websites operated by extension authors or other third parties. We do not control those sites. If you believe a link shown on Extenshi points to a website that distributes gambling, malware, fraud, or other harmful or unlawful content — for example an impostor extension whose “website” resolves to an online-casino page — please tell us. Email [email protected] with the subject line “Harmful link” and include the extension store and store ID, the catalog page URL, the destination link, and a short description of the problem.
On review we may disable the outbound link (displaying the destination as plain, non-clickable text with a warning), de-index the affected catalog page, or take other proportionate action. Our automated link-reputation checks already flag and disable some such links, but a report helps us catch what automation misses and act faster. This is in addition to, not a replacement for, the copyright and personal-data routes above.
How to submit a request
Email [email protected] using the subject line for your request type above. We aim to acknowledge requests within a reasonable time and to act on valid ones without undue delay; data-protection requests are handled within the statutory time limits. We may keep a minimal record of the request and our response for compliance and audit purposes.
What we do and do not do
- We remove or disable infringing material on a valid copyright notice.
- We erase, correct, or restrict personal data on a valid data-protection request.
- We may disable or annotate an outbound link, or de-index a catalog page, where a link points to harmful or unlawful third-party content (on a report or our own automated signals).
- We may decline or seek clarification where a request is incomplete, where the material is not under our control, or where we have a legal basis or obligation to retain it (for example accounting records, or security-and-abuse logs for a limited period).
- Removing personal data or infringing material does not by itself change an extension’s automated safety signal. To dispute a security score or finding, use the Developer dispute & corrections process.
Counter-notice and reinstatement
If material you published was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or that you are authorized to use it, you may send a counter-notice to [email protected] explaining the basis for reinstatement, with your contact details. We will review counter-notices in good faith. Submitting knowingly false notices or counter-notices may carry legal consequences for the sender.
