What data is stored

Widget Box stores your dashboard layout, widget settings, notes, favorite photos, the API keys you enter, and cached widget data in your browser’s local storage. Nothing is sent to the developer; Widget Box has no server, account system, or analytics.

What is sent to third-party services

Widgets request data directly from the services that provide it:

Open-Meteo (weather, air quality, geocoding): the city names you enter.
Unsplash (background photos): your access key and any photo search term you choose.
Yahoo Finance (Markets widget): the ticker symbols you add.
Frankfurter (Currency widget): the currencies you choose.
Wikipedia (On This Day widget): today’s date.
Spotify (optional): if you connect your account, a sign-in token is stored locally and used only to ask Spotify what is currently playing.

Searches typed into the search box are handled by your browser’s default search engine.

Each service’s own privacy policy applies to requests sent to it.

Widget Box does not sell or share your data with anyone beyond the requests listed above.

Retention and deletion

Data stays until you remove it. “Refresh widget data” in Settings clears cached responses; removing a widget deletes its stored state; uninstalling Widget Box deletes everything.

Changes

Changes to this policy will be posted at this URL with a new “Last updated” date.
