Looph — Chrome Extension Privacy Policy
Last updated: 3 August 2026
This page describes what the Looph Chrome extension captures, where it is stored, how long it is kept, and how to delete it. The extension is published by the operator of app.looph.ing ("Looph", "we", "us").
1. What the extension does
The extension lets a signed-in member of a Looph workspace turn text on the current webpage into a feedback post — or a comment or vote on an existing post — in that workspace. It is not a tracker, ad blocker, analytics tool, or background scraper. It captures no screenshots, records no console or network activity, and sends nothing to any AI provider.
2. What we capture, and only on your explicit action
The extension only reads page content when you trigger a capture (toolbar icon, keyboard shortcut, or right-click menu). It does not read pages in the background. Specifically, when you trigger a capture we collect:
- The URL and title of the current tab.
- The text you had selected on the page, if any.
- The title, details, board, status and tags you type into the popup.
- The customer you choose to attribute the post to, when you file on someone's behalf — their email address if you add them by email.
We do not read cookies, saved passwords, autofill data, form fields, page DOM outside your selection, screenshots, console output, or network traffic.
3. Where it goes
Everything above is sent over HTTPS to your Looph workspace and stored as the post, comment or vote you submitted. It is visible only to members of that workspace, subject to the board's visibility rules. There is no third-party processor in the request path.
4. Local storage on your device
The following data is stored in chrome.storage.local:
- Your workspace auth token.
- Per-page draft posts (so you don't lose work when the popup closes).
- Your saved workspaces, per-domain workspace pins, and the last board you posted to.
- A short-lived sign-in nonce while a Google sign-in is in progress.
Local data lives only on your device. Uninstalling the extension or signing out in the popup deletes it.
5. Retention
Submitted posts and comments follow your workspace's retention policy and the standard Looph terms. You can delete any post or comment from the workspace at any time. Deletion is propagated to backups within 30 days.
6. Third parties
We do not sell user data. We do not transfer it for advertising. We do not use it for any purpose unrelated to delivering the post, comment or vote you submit. No third party sits in the extension's request path.
7. Permissions, plainly
activeTab— reads the current tab's URL and title, only after you click the toolbar icon or a right-click entry.storage— the local data listed in section 4.scripting— a single one-shot read of your current text selection in the active tab.contextMenus— the "Send to Looph" right-click entries.
No host permissions are declared: the extension has no background access to your browsing.
8. Your rights and how to reach us
You can request export or deletion of any data tied to your Loop account by emailing privacy@looph.ing. We respond within 30 days.
9. Changes
Material changes to this policy will be announced in the extension's changelog and at the top of this page. The "Last updated" date above always reflects the current version.
