Privacy Policy

1. Information not sent externally

This extension checks post text shown on X inside your browser. Post text and detection results are not sent to external servers.

Matching your registered "Words you'd like some distance from" against post text on X takes place entirely within the Chrome browser. Registered text and match results are not sent to external servers.

The extension does not add a system that collects the checked text or internal checking details outside your browser.

It helps users choose whether to read the content or not read it now.

• Post text is not sent to external servers.
• Registered "Words you'd like some distance from" are not sent to external servers.
• Detection results are not sent to external servers.
• Which entry matched, match positions, match counts, and the number of registered entries are not sent externally.
• Post URLs and X user information are not sent externally.
• Post text is not saved.
• Detection results are not saved.
• Browsing history is not saved.
• Post URLs are not saved.
• Usernames and account IDs are not saved.
• Internal detection details are not saved.

2. Saved settings

The Chrome extension saves only settings selected by the user and the minimum information needed to manage those settings safely in the browser.

• The following settings are saved in the Chrome extension storage area, chrome.storage.local:
  • enabled, which indicates whether the extension is enabled
  • cushionSensitivity, which indicates how easily cushions are shown
  • uiLanguage, which indicates the display language
• The value saved for uiLanguage is auto, ja, or en.
• Settings for "Words you'd like some distance from" are saved separately under distanceTermsSettings.

  This setting contains:

  • Words, short phrases, and hashtags registered by the user
  • The entire feature's ON/OFF setting
  • Each entry's ON/OFF setting
  • An internal ID used to manage each entry in the browser
  • Version information used to manage the saved-data format

  The internal ID is not an X account ID and does not identify the user.

• The display language is a user setting saved in the browser. It is not sent to external systems or external servers.
• On the public documentation pages, only the display theme preference—light mode or dark mode—is saved in the browser's localStorage so your choice can be retained.

  The saved value is system, light, or dark.

• The display theme preference does not save X (formerly Twitter) post text, detection results, browsing history, pages or URLs viewed, usernames, account IDs, or other user information.

  The theme preference is not sent to external systems or external servers, and these pages do not use cookies or analytics.

• If you clear your browser's site data, this preference is also removed and returns to "Match device settings."
• X (formerly Twitter) post text, detection results, browsing history, post URLs, usernames, account IDs, and other user information are not saved.
• Registered text itself is saved locally in the browser as a setting, but the extension does not save a usage history or match result showing which registered entry matched which post.

  Match positions, match counts, post URLs, X usernames, and X account IDs are not saved.

• Internal detection details such as score, matchedRules, categories, and reasons are not saved.

3. What the extension does not do

• It does not rate accounts.
• It does not automatically block posts or accounts.
• It does not automatically report posts or accounts.
• It does not remove post text or post DOM.
• It does not evaluate posters.
• It does not rate registered text as dangerous or bad.
• It does not infer your mental state from what you register.
• It does not infer your beliefs, identity, or other attributes from registered text.
• It does not turn registered text into a shared list.
• It does not send registered text to an external service for analysis.
• It does not send post content to an external system for monitoring or evaluation.
• It does not add external communication from Kotoba Uke Mimamori.

This extension is not for judging posters. Its role is limited to adding a gentle cushion before reading, so the user can choose whether to read now or not.

4. External communication

Kotoba Uke Mimamori does not add external communication, analytics, telemetry, external AI, external APIs, or external servers in the current MVP.

Post text, registered "Words you'd like some distance from", match results, which entry matched, match positions, match counts, the number of registered entries, post URLs, X user information, and fixed-rule internal checking details are not sent to external servers.
