Browser extension privacy Statement

Last updated: 25 July 2019

Data Collected and Cookies

For the record, no cookies are created in any of our browser extensions. No data is collected on browsing history or browsing activity. Nor are tracking scripts used in any of the extensions unless otherwise clearly stated.

Details on the specific extensions privacy can be found below.

Snapbird

In plain english: This plugin will secure send and store your Twitter account token to allow you to search your direct messages and access advanced search features in Snapbird that are not typically available on Twitter.

In detail: The Snapbird extension handles your sensitive account token to allow you to search direct messages. Your token is securely transferred using SSL and HTTPS connections to Snapbird. Snapbird stores your token in a secured database that is not publicly accessible. This token is stored against your pre-authenticated Snapbird sign in which is also only accessible to you. Once this handshake is complete, the Snapbird extension is idle and can be uninstalled entirely.

m-tweet

In plain english: m-tweet redirects all requests to twitter.com to mobile.twitter.com for a better browsing experience. No other actions occur.

In detail: a few lines of JavaScript are injected into every twitter.com page that checks the URL and redirects if appropriate.

No More Scroll Jacking

In plain english: No More Scroll Jacking listens to scroll and keypress activity. This is only used to determine whether you are holding a meta key (shift, control, alt, command) and then used to prevent scroll jacking.

In detail: JavaScript is injected at the start of every page that will add event listeners are attached for keypress events to toggle whether scroll jacking should be prevented. Additional event handlers for scroll, mousewheel and wheel are attached, and if a meta key is pressed then the scroll events are cancelled allowing the browser to handle these natively.

The Squint Test

In plain english: The Squint Test only provides a popup that will blur the contents of the page.

In detail: No content is injected to any pages, only when you open the popup extension and apply the blur, DOM properties are modified on the fly to adjust the amount of blur. None of these changes are permanent.
