Privacy Policy
The short version
Spotlight does not collect, transmit, or share any data. Everything you create stays in your browser's local storage. The extension makes zero network requests. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind.
What data Spotlight stores
Spotlight stores the following data locally on your device using the chrome.storage.local API:
- Presentation content you create (titles, sections, groups, items)
- Check-state for each presentation (which items have been ticked)
- Your currently active presentation and view preference
This data is stored entirely within your browser's extension storage. It is not synced to any cloud service, not shared with any third party, and not accessible to any website or other extension.
What data Spotlight does NOT collect
- No personal information (name, email, account details)
- No usage analytics or telemetry
- No browsing history or page content
- No cookies or tracking identifiers
- No crash reports or error logs sent externally
Network requests
Spotlight makes zero network requests. The extension operates entirely offline. It does not contact any server, API, or external service at any time.
Permissions
Spotlight requests the following browser permissions:
- sidePanel — to display the extension interface in the browser's side panel
- storage — to save your presentations and preferences locally using chrome.storage.local
No other permissions are requested. Spotlight does not access your tabs, browsing data, history, bookmarks, or any website content.
Data export and import
Spotlight allows you to export a presentation as a JSON file and import one from a file. These operations are entirely local — the file is saved to or read from your device using your browser's native file picker. No data is uploaded to any server during export or import.
Data deletion
You can delete any presentation from the Library view at any time. To remove all Spotlight data, uninstall the extension — this permanently deletes all locally stored data.
Third-party services
Spotlight does not integrate with, send data to, or receive data from any third-party service.
Children's privacy
Spotlight does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If this privacy policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new "last updated" date. Since Spotlight collects no data, changes are unlikely.
