Search Restore does not collect, sell or transmit personal data. It has no analytics, advertising, account system or remote server.
The extension reads result titles and destination URLs already displayed on a supported Google Search page. It uses them to add archive links and does not keep a search history. The load-more feature requests the next Google results page only after the user presses its button.
The extension stores the archiveLinks and loadMore preferences with
chrome.storage.local. Chrome keeps these settings on the device instead of
placing them in Chrome Sync.
Search Restore's use of information received from Chrome APIs follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Search result titles and destination URLs are used only to provide the visible archive and result-loading features the user installed. They are not retained, sold, used for advertising, or transferred to another party except when the user deliberately opens an archive link.
Archive sites receive a result URL only when the user chooses an archive link. Those sites have their own privacy policies.
Effective August 23, 2026.
