Privacy Policy

Centruo is a personalized browser start page. This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you use the page, how it is used, and what choices you have. This page is designed to be transparent about local browser storage and third-party services used by the homepage.

Information Centruo Stores Locally

Centruo stores your preferences in your own browser using localStorage. This may include your shortcut order, custom website shortcuts, selected search engine, and light or dark mode preference. This information stays on your device unless you clear your browser data.

Search Queries

Centruo does not search automatically while you type. When you press Enter or click the search button, your query is sent to the search engine you selected, such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Baidu, Naver, or Ecosia. The selected search engine processes your query under its own privacy policy.

Website Shortcuts and Icons

Shortcut names, URLs, and custom shortcut order are saved locally in your browser. To show website logos or favicons, Centruo may load icon resources from third-party services such as Simple Icons CDN and Google favicon services. Those third parties may receive standard technical information from your browser, such as your IP address, browser type, and the requested icon URL.

Information Centruo Does Not Collect

Centruo does not require an account, does not ask for your name or email address, does not run a backend database, and does not sell personal information. The current static homepage does not include advertising analytics or tracking pixels. If you use the Contact Us form, your browser opens your email app with the message prepared; Centruo does not store that form submission on a server.

Your Choices

You can clear saved Centruo settings by clearing this site’s local browser data. You can also change your selected search engine, remove custom shortcuts, or reset your browser’s localStorage for this page.

Children’s Privacy

Centruo is not directed to children under 13, and it does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when Centruo’s features change. The effective date above shows when this page was last updated.
