Privacy Policy

Data we collect

None — from the extension. ClearKit does not collect, store on any server, transmit, share, or sell any personal data or browsing history. There is no sign-in and no telemetry of any kind. Everything the extension does — clearing data, searching and deleting history, running scheduled rules — happens locally on your own device. Your settings, auto-clean rules and the local event log (the last 200 clean runs) are stored in your browser via the standard extension storage and never leave your machine.

Permissions and why they are needed

browsingData

Performs the actual clearing you ask for (history, cache, cookies and other site data) via the browser's browsingData API. Your whitelist is enforced here so protected sites are skipped, and the reverse mode targets only the sites you list. It runs only on an explicit action by you, your keyboard shortcut, or a schedule you configured.

history

Powers the local history dashboard: searching and filtering entries, showing top-domain and browsing-heatmap statistics, and deleting history grouped by domain (including per-domain deletion when you clear the current site). History is read and deleted on your device only — nothing is uploaded or transmitted.

storage

Persists your settings, auto-clean rules and the local-only event log so they survive the service worker being recycled. All values stay in the browser's local extension storage.

alarms

Schedules your auto-clean rules on the cadence you set (every 15 minutes to 24 hours, or at browser startup). Used only for the extension's own local scheduling.

notifications

Shows a system notification when a clean finishes, so you get confirmation of a task you started. Notifications result from your own actions or your own scheduled rules.

activeTab

Reads the current tab's URL, only while the popup is open, so the "Clear this site" card can show and target the site's domain. Limited to the tab you are on at that moment; ClearKit does not request the broader tabs permission.

ClearKit requests no host permissions and does not use the cookies or scripting permissions — it never runs code on the pages you visit.

Remote code

ClearKit does not load or execute any remote code. All JavaScript and WebAssembly are bundled in the extension package.

This website

clearkit.xeviora.com is a static site hosted on Cloudflare Pages. It is entirely separate from the extension: nothing described in this section can see anything the extension does, and the extension never contacts this site.

The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages and guides people find useful. It records the page you viewed, a coarse location derived from your IP address, your device and browser type, and clicks on outbound links (such as the Chrome Web Store button). It does not receive your browsing history, your ClearKit settings, or anything else from the extension. IP anonymisation is on, and advertising and remarketing features are switched off worldwide — we do not run ads and do not build advertising audiences.

Cookies: Google Analytics normally sets a first-party cookie to tell repeat visits apart. For visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland we run Google Consent Mode v2 with analytics and advertising storage denied by default, so no analytics cookie is set and only aggregate, cookieless signals are sent. Everywhere else the standard analytics cookie applies; blocking it in your browser, or with any content blocker, has no effect on the site.

Your theme and language preference are kept in your browser's local storage and never sent anywhere. As with any web host, Cloudflare processes standard request data (such as IP address) to serve and protect the site.

Email list (optional)

If you enter your address in one of the subscribe boxes on this site, it is forwarded to MailerLite, which hosts our mailing list and acts as the processor for it. We do not store your address ourselves — this site has no database.

Subscription is double opt-in: MailerLite emails you a confirmation link and you are only added to the list if you click it. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to remove you at the support address. Your subscription is never linked to anything else — there are no accounts and no purchase records to link it to.

Nothing else on this site asks for personal data, and giving us your address is entirely optional.

Changes

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change accordingly. The current version is always published on this page.
