posted 2 years agoHi There, Thanks for leaving a review!
That's a fair statement, to be honest I was lazy and copied the whole thing :( sorry for the confusion.
Anyway, I've just updated both documents to more accurately reflect the extensions behaviour. You can find it here: https://newsit.benwinding.com/privacy_policy.html
Also here's a quick run down on how the extension works.
- There's no dedicated server that this app connects to, it queries the reddit.com and news.ycombinator.com directly.
- This means, I cannot track anyone or even know who's using the extension
- It also means that Reddit and Hacker News can track you, but it's the equivalent of browsing their sites.
Apologies for the confusion and I hope this clears some things up, let me know if there's anything else.
Cheers,
Ben
