About myDash

Last updated: July 2026

myDash is a customizable personal dashboard designed to bring Google services, everyday utilities and focused-work tools together in one modular workspace.

It currently operates as a Chrome Manifest V3 new-tab extension. Users can create configurable dashboard pages and arrange movable, resizable widgets for services and tools including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Keep, Google Tasks, Google Contacts, weather, bookmarks, notes, translation, clocks and calculators.

myDash is designed as a local-first product. The dashboard can operate using information stored on the user’s device, with optional synchronization through the user’s own Google Drive account.

myDash is an independent project.

myDash is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google LLC. Google, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Keep and other Google product names are trademarks of their respective owners.

Support and community

Private assistance is available through the official Support page and the support contact published on this website.

General discussion, feature suggestions, installation questions and product feedback are available through the official myDash Community linked from the Community page.

Users should not publish passwords, authorization tokens, private email content, calendar information or other confidential material in public community discussions.

Privacy Notice

1. Privacy contact

Questions concerning privacy, personal information, data access or deletion may be submitted through the official Support page or the privacy contact published on this website.

2. Scope of this notice

This notice applies to:

• the myDash Chrome extension;

• the myDash website;

• support communications submitted to myDash;

• the official myDash community;

• optional Google account connections initiated through myDash.

Third-party websites and services linked from myDash operate under their own privacy notices and terms.

3. Information processed by the extension

Depending on the widgets and features voluntarily enabled by the user, myDash may access or process the following categories of information.

Dashboard information

This may include:

• dashboard pages;

• widget types;

• widget positions and dimensions;

• widget preferences;

• theme and display settings;

• refresh settings;

• local plan or entitlement settings.

Google account information

When the user authorizes a Google service, myDash may access the minimum information required to provide the selected feature, including:

• the authorized Google account email address;

• Gmail messages, threads, labels and message status;

• Google Calendar calendars, events and event settings;

• Google Drive file metadata and permitted file content;

• Google Keep notes where supported and authorized;

• Google Tasks lists and tasks;

• Google Contacts data;

• dashboard synchronization data stored in the Google Drive application-data area.

The information accessed depends on the permissions approved by the user.

A Google service is not accessed unless the relevant authorization has been granted.

Browser and device information

Depending on the feature used, myDash may process:

• Chrome bookmarks;

• extension-local storage;

• browser theme and appearance preferences;

• selected or approximate location information for weather results;

• technical diagnostic information generated during operation.

Information submitted voluntarily

When a user contacts support or participates in the community, myDash may receive:

• a name or account identifier;

• an email address;

• message content;

• screenshots;

• browser and operating-system information;

• diagnostic information voluntarily supplied by the user.

Users should remove unnecessary personal or confidential information before submitting support material.

4. Why information is used

Information is processed only to provide, maintain or improve user-facing myDash functions, including:

• displaying requested dashboard widgets;

• reading or modifying Google data when the user explicitly activates an action;

• storing dashboard preferences;

• synchronizing the dashboard between devices;

• authenticating the selected Google account;

• responding to support requests;

• investigating technical errors, abuse or security concerns;

• maintaining product reliability and security;

• complying with applicable legal obligations.

myDash does not use Google user data for unrelated profiling, surveillance or data brokerage.

5. Google authorization and user actions

Google authorization is handled through Google and Chrome OAuth mechanisms.

myDash does not request or store the user’s Google password.

The permissions requested depend on the Google widgets and features selected by the user.

Some widgets may permit actions that modify Google data, including:

• archiving or deleting an email;

• marking an email as read or unread;

• creating, editing or deleting a calendar event;

• creating, completing or deleting a task;

• creating or modifying a contact or note.

These actions occur only in response to a user command or an explicitly enabled feature.

6. Where information is stored

myDash is designed as a local-first application.

Dashboard state and preferences are primarily stored in extension-specific storage on the user’s device.

When Google Drive synchronization is enabled, dashboard configuration data is stored in the application-data area of the user’s own Google Drive account.

Limited cached information may be stored locally to improve loading speed, reduce unnecessary network requests and support normal widget operation.

The extension does not use a general-purpose myDash server to collect copies of Gmail messages, calendars, contacts, notes or tasks.

This notice will be updated before any future account backend, companion application or remote service begins processing additional categories of user information.

7. Sharing and transfers

myDash does not sell personal information.

myDash does not transfer Google user data for personalized, retargeted or interest-based advertising.

Information may be transmitted only where necessary to provide a feature selected by the user, including through:

• Google services and APIs;

• Chrome extension services;

• Google Drive for optional dashboard synchronization;

• Google Sites for website hosting;

• Google Groups for community discussions;

• weather-data providers when the weather widget is used;

• email or support-service providers involved in delivering support communications;

• public authorities or professional advisers when required by applicable law or necessary to address fraud, abuse or security threats.

Google account content is not shared with unrelated third parties.

8. Google API and Chrome Web Store Limited Use disclosure

The use and transfer by myDash of information received from Google APIs will comply with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

The use of user information by myDash will also comply with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Google user information is used only to provide or improve the user-facing features clearly presented by myDash.

Google user information is not used or transferred for:

• personalized advertising;

• retargeted advertising;

• credit assessment;

• lending decisions;

• surveillance;

• unrelated profiling;

• data brokerage.

No person is permitted to read a user’s Google content unless:

• the user has provided explicit consent for a specific support purpose;

• access is necessary for a security or abuse investigation;

• access is required by applicable law; or

• the content has been deliberately submitted by the user for review.

9. Legal bases for processing

Where European data-protection law applies, information may be processed on one or more of the following legal bases:

• performance of the service requested by the user;

• the user’s consent, particularly for optional Google account access;

• legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving myDash;

• compliance with applicable legal obligations.

Authorization for Google services may be withdrawn at any time.

10. Retention and deletion

Locally stored dashboard information remains on the user’s device until it is removed through myDash controls, browser-storage deletion or removal of the extension.

Synchronized dashboard information remains in the user’s Google Drive application-data area until the synchronization data is reset or removed.

Google authorization remains active until the user revokes it or removes the access granted to myDash.

Support correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• resolve the request;

• maintain security or abuse-prevention records;

• establish a history of technical decisions;

• comply with applicable legal obligations.

Public community posts remain visible according to the community’s settings until removed by the author or a moderator, subject to the functionality and policies of the community platform.

11. User choices and rights

Users can:

• choose which Google services to authorize;

• decline optional permissions;

• disable Google Drive synchronization;

• reset local dashboard information;

• reset synchronized dashboard information;

• remove widgets that access particular services;

• uninstall the extension;

Where applicable, users may also have the right to:

• restrict processing;

• object to processing;

• receive portable copies of their information;

• withdraw consent;

• submit a complaint to the competent data-protection authority.

Privacy requests may be submitted through the official Support page or privacy contact published on this website.

12. Security

myDash uses available Chrome and Google authorization mechanisms and encrypted HTTPS connections when communicating with supported online services.

No internet-connected product can guarantee absolute security.

Users should protect:

• their Google Account;

• their browser profile;

• their computer or device;

• passwords and recovery credentials;

• authorization and security codes.

Two-step verification should be enabled where available.

Security concerns should be reported privately through the official Support page.

Suspected vulnerabilities, passwords, access credentials and private user information should not be published in the public community.

Users should not post personal, confidential or sensitive information in public conversations.

14. Children

myDash is not specifically directed to children.

Users who are not legally able to authorize access to online services in their jurisdiction should use myDash only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.

15. Changes to this notice
