Privacy policy — media.humane.tools browser extension
What the extension transmits, and when
Only when you explicitly save a page (toolbar click or a keybinding you pressed), the extension sends to the media.humane.tools server:
- the page's URL and title,
- any tags you chose or preconfigured for that keybinding,
- your API token, to authenticate the request.
Nothing is transmitted while you merely browse. The "already saved" toolbar indicator is computed on your device against a local copy of your saved-URL list, which the extension periodically downloads from your own inbox. This sync sends only your API token — never the pages you are visiting.
The extension contains no analytics, no telemetry, no ads, and communicates with no third parties. Its only network peer is the server that hosts your media list.
What the extension stores on your device
- your API token (local to the browser profile, never synced by the browser),
- your preset tags per keybinding (synced across your browsers by your browser's own sync, so your keybindings work everywhere),
- the local mirror of your saved URLs described above,
- your not-yet-synced saves (URL, title, tags) — saving works offline and queues locally; each queued save is sent to the server the next time it is reachable, then removed from the queue.
Uninstalling the extension removes all of this.
Where saved pages live
Pages you save are stored in your media.humane.tools account so the web app can show them to you. They are used solely to provide the service — they are not sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising. You can delete individual links in the extension popup or the web app, and you can delete your account data by contacting the address below.
