Nostalgift — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 August 2026

Nostalgift does not collect, store, transmit or sell any personal or sensitive user data.

What the extension can see

Nostalgift runs only on https://web.telegram.org/k/*. Inside Telegram Web's own "Send a Gift" popup it reads the name of the chat recipient and the structure of the popup, so that it can show you who a gift would go to and place its gift list in the right position. That information stays in the page. It is never stored, and it never leaves your browser.

What the extension loads, and from where

Nostalgift contacts no server. It has no backend, no analytics and no error reporting. The only file it ever loads is one of its own gift animations, read from inside the installed extension package at a chrome-extension:// address, and only when you hover a gift to play it. It requests no third-party address.

The only web addresses it can request are the three Telegram donation invoices described under "The optional support invoices" below. They do nothing until you choose one.

What the extension does not do

• It uses no browser storage: no cookies, no localStorage, no chrome.storage.
• It requests no permissions beyond running on Telegram Web.
• It does not read your messages, your contact list, your phone number or your credentials.
• It loads no remote code. All of its code, including the Lottie animation player, is contained in the published package.

Payments

Nostalgift never submits a payment. When you press "Continue in Telegram" it asks Telegram for a payment form and then hands you over to Telegram's own payment interface. Every payment is made by you, inside Telegram, under Telegram's own terms and privacy policy.

The optional support invoices

After Telegram's payment popup has opened, the extension shows three Telegram Stars amounts — 1, 10 and 100. Each is a reusable invoice link that Telegram issued to the developer in advance. Choosing one asks Telegram Web to open Telegram's own Stars payment window; the click never navigates away from the page. Doing so is voluntary, the links are identical for every user and carry nothing about you, and the extension handles no money, holds no credentials and receives nothing back.

Changes

If these practices ever change, this page will be updated and the change described in the extension's Chrome Web Store listing before the new version is published.
