Bellrope privacy policy
Watches pages you chose for changes. No server of its own.
What is collected
Nothing. Bellrope has no account system, no analytics, no telemetry and no server of ours. Nothing about you or your browsing is collected, transmitted to us, sold, or shared with anyone.
What is stored, and where
Everything below stays inside your own browser profile on your own device.
- Your watches, in Chrome local storage on your device: the page address, which part of it you picked, how often to check, and the text that part last said.
- The last 20 changes for each watch, so you can see what has happened since you set it up.
None of it is written to Chrome's synced storage, so it does not travel to your Google account or to your other machines. Uninstalling the extension removes it.
What it connects to
- The pages you explicitly chose to watch, and only those, on the schedule you set. These requests are made without cookies, so a check reads the page as a signed out visitor and no account view is ever read or stored.
Permissions, and why each one exists
| alarms | Run your checks on the schedule you set. |
| notifications | Tell you when something you are watching has changed, and what it changed to. |
| offscreen | Parse the fetched page to read the part you are watching. That parser runs no page script and loads nothing. |
| scripting | Show the element picker in the tab you are looking at, when you press the button to create a watch. |
| sidePanel | The list of watches, which is the entire interface. |
| storage | Keep your watches on your own device. |
Worth knowing
- There is no backend of ours. Bellrope has nowhere to send anything, and its build fails automatically if any hardcoded web address appears in the shipped code.
- Bellrope declares no host permissions and installs no content scripts. Page access is asked for when you create your first watch, because background checks have to fetch a page long after the tab for it has closed.
- This is not browsing history. Nothing is recorded about pages you visited and did not choose to watch, and the list of ones you did never leaves your device.
Children
Bellrope is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date below changes with it. Anything that would alter what is collected or transmitted would ship as a new version, with the change described in the extension's changelog.
