Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

At nobullshit, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. We built this tool to help you clean up your social media feeds without becoming yet another data-harvesting service. We practice what we preach: no bullshit.

Browser Extension Permissions

The nobullshit browser extension requires the following permissions to function:

• Host Permissions (linkedin.com, twitter.com/x.com) - To detect posts on these platforms and add the flush button. We only access these specific sites, not your entire browsing history.
• Storage - To store your anonymous user hash locally in your browser (not on our servers). This allows the extension to function without requiring you to create an account.
• Active Tab - To know which page you're on so we can inject the flush button only on LinkedIn and Twitter/X posts.

What we DON'T have access to: We cannot read your passwords, access other websites, read your email, or track your general browsing activity. The extension only works on LinkedIn and Twitter/X.

What Data We Collect

When you use the nobullshit browser extension, we collect only the following anonymous information:

• Post URLs - The links to posts you flush (to build community rankings)
• Platform - Whether the post is from LinkedIn or Twitter
• Timestamp - When the flush happened (for trending analysis)
• Anonymous user hash - A randomly generated identifier (NOT your username, NOT your email)

Important: We do NOT collect or store the content of posts, your browsing history, your social media credentials, or any personally identifiable information.

What We DON'T Collect

Here's what we never collect or store:

• Your real identity (name, email, phone number)
• Your social media credentials or passwords
• Your browsing history outside of flush actions
• Your location data or IP address
• Any personal messages or private content
• Cookies or tracking pixels for advertising

How We Use Your Data

The anonymous flush data is used exclusively for:

• Community Rankings - Showing which posts and profiles get flushed the most
• Statistics - Aggregated insights about BS content trends
• Product Improvement - Understanding what content people find low-quality

We never:

• Sell your data to third parties
• Use your data for advertising
• Share individual flush patterns with anyone
• Attempt to de-anonymize or identify users

Anonymous by Design

When you install the extension, we generate a random hash as your identifier. This hash:

• Is not connected to your social media accounts
• Is not connected to your email or real identity
• Cannot be used to track you across the internet
• Can be reset anytime by reinstalling the extension

Data Storage and Security

• All data is stored securely on Neon Database with encryption at rest
• We use HTTPS for all data transmission
• We retain flush data indefinitely for community rankings (but remember: it's anonymous)
• We implement industry-standard security practices to protect our infrastructure

Remote Code and Updates

The nobullshit extension does NOT:

• Execute remotely hosted code
• Download or run external scripts
• Modify its behavior based on remote instructions

All extension code is packaged and reviewed by the browser store during the review process. Updates go through the same review process. This ensures the extension behaves exactly as described in this privacy policy.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Neon Database - For storing anonymous flush data
• Vercel - For hosting the website and API
• Google Tag Manager - For basic website analytics (page views only, no personal data)

These services have their own privacy policies, but we ensure no personal data is shared with them.

Your Rights

Because we don't collect personal data, traditional data rights (access, deletion, portability) don't really apply. However, you can:

• Stop using the service anytime - Just uninstall the extension
• Reset your anonymous ID - Reinstall the extension to get a new random hash
• Audit our code - The extension is open source (link in footer)

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from children. If you're under 13, please don't use nobullshit (and maybe stay off LinkedIn anyway).

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the service means you accept the updated policy.

The Unshitification Promise

This project is part of the larger "unshitification" movement - fighting back against the degradation of digital platforms. We're committed to:

• Keeping the tool free and open source
• Never selling out to big tech or advertisers
• Respecting your privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought
• Being transparent about what we do (and don't do) with data

Bottom line: We collect anonymous flush data to build community rankings. We don't know who you are, we don't want to know who you are, and we'll never try to find out who you are. No bullshit. 💩
