Effective Date: November 22, 2025
Last Updated: November 22, 2025
Extension Version: 1.0.0



Overview

The 7 Days to Die Auto Voter extension ("the Extension") is designed to automate voting for 7 Days to Die game servers on 7daystodie-servers.com. This privacy policy explains what data the Extension collects, stores, and transmits.

TL;DR: This extension does NOT collect, analyze, or transmit your personal data to any third parties. It only sends vote requests to the game server voting site you configure.



Data Collection Statement

What We DO NOT Collect

The Extension does NOT collect, store, or transmit:

• ❌ Personal identification information (name, email, address, etc.)
• ❌ Browsing history or web activity
• ❌ Steam credentials or login information
• ❌ Analytics or telemetry data
• ❌ Usage statistics
• ❌ Device information
• ❌ Location data
• ❌ Cookies or tracking identifiers
• ❌ Any data for advertising purposes

What We DO Store (Locally Only)

The Extension stores the following data locally in your browser only:

| Data Item | Purpose | Storage Location | Transmitted? |
|-----------|---------|------------------|--------------|
| Vote URL | The server voting page you want to vote on | Browser local storage | No |
| Auto-vote preference | Whether automatic voting is enabled or disabled | Browser local storage | No |
| Last vote timestamp | When you last voted (to enforce 24-hour interval) | Browser local storage | No |

Important: All of this data is stored locally in your Firefox browser using the browser.storage.local API. This data:
- Never leaves your computer
- Is not transmitted to any server
- Is not accessible to the extension developer
- Can be deleted by removing the extension



Data Transmission

What Data Is Transmitted

The Extension transmits data ONLY for its primary function: submitting votes to game servers. Here's exactly what happens:

1. Vote Request to 7daystodie-servers.com

• When: When you vote (automatically every 24 hours, or manually via "Vote Now")
• Where: To the vote URL you configured (e.g., https://7daystodie-servers.com/server/XXXXX/vote/)
• What: HTTP request to the voting page (standard web request, same as visiting the page manually)
• Why: This is the primary function of the extension - to submit your vote to the game server

2. Steam OpenID Authentication

• When: When the voting site requires Steam login
• Where: To https://steamcommunity.com/openid/login
• What: Redirect to Steam's official OpenID login page (handled entirely by Steam)
• Why: 7daystodie-servers.com requires Steam authentication to prevent vote fraud
• Note: The extension does NOT handle, store, or transmit your Steam credentials. Steam handles all authentication.

What Data Is NOT Transmitted

• Your browsing history is NOT transmitted
• Your extension settings are NOT transmitted
• Your personal information is NOT transmitted
• Analytics or usage data is NOT transmitted
• Your Steam credentials are NOT transmitted (handled by Steam directly)

Third-Party Services

The Extension interacts with these third-party services:

7daystodie-servers.com

• Data Sent: Authentication redirect (handled by Steam, not by the extension)
• Privacy Policy: https://store.steampowered.com/privacy_agreement/

Permissions Explained

The Extension requests the following permissions. Here's why each is needed:

storage

• Why: Store your preferences (vote URL, auto-vote setting, last vote time) locally in your browser
• Privacy Impact: None - data stays on your device only

alarms

• Why: Schedule automatic votes every 24 hours
• Privacy Impact: None - only used for timing, no data collection

tabs

• Why: Open the voting page in a new tab when voting
• Privacy Impact: None - only opens the voting page you configured

https://7daystodie-servers.com/*

• Why: Access the voting site to automate the voting process
• Privacy Impact: Extension can interact with this site only (to click buttons and submit votes)

https://steamcommunity.com/*

• Why: Automate Steam OpenID login by clicking the sign-in button
• Privacy Impact: Extension can interact with Steam login page only (to automate clicking the sign-in button)

Important: These permissions do NOT give the extension access to:
- Other websites you visit
- Your browsing history
- Your Steam account details (Steam handles authentication)
- Any personal data beyond what's needed for the voting process
