Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 1, 2026

UnifyBrowse is built and maintained by a single independent developer. This privacy policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and how your data is handled across the website and the browser extensions.

1. Privacy Philosophy

The approach here is simple: charge for premium software features — nothing else. Your personal data is never sold to third parties. Extensions are designed to operate locally on your device whenever possible. Data is only synced to the server to power cloud features you explicitly opt into.

2. Information Collected

When you use the UnifyBrowse website or create an account, the following information may be collected:

  • Account Information: Your email address and basic profile details required for authentication.
  • Billing Details: If you purchase a premium plan, payment processing is handled securely by Stripe. Full payment card details are never stored.
  • Anonymous Analytics: Basic usage metrics (e.g., page views, extension launch counts) to understand how the tools are used and improve them over time. This data is not linked to your personal identity.

3. Extension-Specific Data & Permissions

Each browser extension requests only the permissions it genuinely needs to function. Below is a detailed breakdown of what each extension accesses and why.

BitLens

BitLens

#

Permissions Used

• *storage: This extension uses session storage to temporarily hold the number that a user highlights and right-clicks on a webpage. This allows the background script to securely pass the selected number to the extension popup as soon as it is opened, ensuring a seamless conversion experience. No data is stored persistently or tracked across sessions. • contextMenus: We require context menu permission to add a "Convert number with BitLens" option to the browser's right-click menu. This is a core feature that allows developers to quickly highlight hexadecimal, binary, or decimal values on any webpage and send them directly to the extension for instant conversion and analysis without needing to manually copy and paste. • clipboardWrite: This permission is necessary to allow users to quickly copy the converted results (such as binary strings, hex values, ASCII codes, or IEEE 754 float representations) directly from the extension's interface to their clipboard with a single click.

Data Practices

BitLens operates entirely locally on your machine by design. No page content, highlighted text, browsing history, conversion data, or personal information is ever transmitted to external servers. All processing, including number base conversions and bitwise operations, happens directly within your browser, guaranteeing absolute privacy and zero tracking.

SoundCloud Enhanced Pro

SoundCloud Enhanced Pro

#

Permissions Used

The extension only requests permissions necessary for functionality: accessing SoundCloud pages and downloading files to your device. No background processes or unnecessary access.

Data Practices

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All downloads are processed locally on your device with zero server interaction.

Image Resizer – Resize, Convert & Optimize

Image Resizer – Resize, Convert & Optimize

#

Permissions Used

storage: Saves your output settings (dimensions, format, quality, and presets) to chrome.storage.local so they persist between sessions. Also uses chrome.storage.session to restore the last loaded image if the popup is closed and reopened.

contextMenus: Adds a right-click menu item on images so you can load any image directly into the resizer without saving and re-uploading it.

Data Practices

Image Resizer processes everything locally in your browser using the OffscreenCanvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server. No browsing history, page content, or personal data is collected or transmitted. The only data stored is your output preferences (dimensions, format, quality) in chrome.storage.local, which never leaves your device.

HashLens – Identify, Generate & Verify Hashes

HashLens – Identify, Generate & Verify Hashes

#

Permissions Used

storage: Saves optional user settings (e.g. preferred output format) to chrome.storage.local so they persist between sessions. No hash inputs, outputs, or file contents are ever stored.

contextMenus: Adds a "Hash this text" submenu to the browser right-click menu when text is selected on any page. Lets users identify or hash selected text without opening the popup manually.

clipboardRead: Used once when the popup opens to check whether the clipboard contains a string that looks like a hash. If it does, the identifier pre-fills automatically. This behaviour can be disabled in settings. The clipboard content is never transmitted anywhere.

clipboardWrite: Allows one-click copying of hash outputs, Hashcat mode numbers, and John the Ripper format strings directly to the clipboard.

Data Practices

HashLens operates entirely locally. Hash inputs, text inputs, and file contents are processed in your browser using the @noble/hashes cryptographic library and never transmitted to any server. No browsing history, page content, clipboard data, or personal information is collected, stored remotely, or shared with third parties. The only data optionally written to storage is your UI preferences (output format selection), which stays on your device. File hashing for the Verifier runs in a dedicated browser tab using chunked streaming so large files can be processed without interruption — the file bytes never leave your machine.

QuickNote — Highlighter & Notes

QuickNote — Highlighter & Notes

#

Permissions Used

QuickNote requests only what it needs to work:

  • storage — saves your highlights and notes directly in your browser. Nothing leaves your device without your permission.
  • activeTab — reads the current page only at the exact moment you highlight text. The extension has no background activity and cannot access other tabs.
  • contextMenus — adds a "Highlight" option to your right-click menu so you can save highlights without using the floating toolbar.

Data Practices

Your highlights and notes are stored locally in your browser by default — no account or internet connection required.

If you choose to sign in, your data syncs to a private cloud account that only you can access. Nothing is shared, sold, or used for any purpose beyond showing you your own highlights.

StartSmall – Pomodoro Timer & Site Blocker

StartSmall – Pomodoro Timer & Site Blocker

#

Permissions Used

storage — saves your timer settings, focus session state, and blocked site list directly in your browser. Everything stays on your device.

alarms — schedules a single silent alarm at the exact moment your focus or break session ends. Used only to trigger the session transition — no background polling, no tracking.

notifications — shows a brief alert when a session ends so you know to take a break or get back to work. Only fires if you have notifications enabled in settings.

declarativeNetRequest — applies your blocked site list using Chrome's built-in blocking engine. The extension never reads, intercepts, or inspects the content of any web page — it only prevents navigation to hostnames you have explicitly added.

declarativeNetRequestFeedback — allows the extension to read back which blocking rules are currently active, so your block list in the popup stays in sync with what Chrome is actually enforcing.

Access to all URLs — required by Chrome's blocking API so that rules can apply to any website you choose to block. The extension does not visit, read, or collect data from any website.

Data Practices

All data — your settings, session state, and blocked site list — is stored locally in your browser only. No account is required and no internet connection is used.

StartSmall does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data, browsing history, or usage analytics. Nothing is sold, shared, or used for any purpose other than running your focus sessions on your own device.

4. Data Protection & Security

The following measures are in place to protect your personal information:

  • All data transmitted to the server uses secure HTTPS encryption.
  • Database access is restricted and enforced by Row Level Security (RLS) policies.
  • Account authentication uses industry-standard JWT protocols.

5. Your Rights

You can access, modify, or permanently delete your personal data at any time. Your account and all associated cloud data can be removed from the UnifyBrowse dashboard settings. Local extension data can be cleared directly through your browser's extension management panel.

6. Changes to this Policy

This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the extensions or applicable legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated via email to registered users.
