Effective Date: 20th January 2026
Support Buddy (“the Extension”) processes tweets on X (formerly Twitter) directly within your browser. This Privacy Policy explains how Support Buddy handles user data.
Support Buddy does NOT collect, transmit, or share any personal information.
All tweet processing occurs locally in your browser only when you are browsing X and is not stored. No records of the tweets you view or the actions you take are stored.
Support Buddy uses chrome.storage.sync to save your user preferences (e.g., filter toggles). This allows your Support Buddy preferences to be stored within your browser and synced across your authorized devices via your Google Account, providing a consistent experience.
Scope: This storage contains settings only, not tweet content or personal identifiers.
Infrastructure: This data is stored within your Google Account and synced across your authorized devices via Google’s secure infrastructure.
Access: The Support Buddy developers have no access to this data. While the Extension accesses it locally to function, the data is never transmitted to the developers or any third parties.
Support Buddy does NOT share any data—whether tweets processed locally or settings stored via Chrome Sync—with third parties, advertisers, analytics providers, or any external services.
Support Buddy does not maintain any persistent logs or databases of your activity. Settings stored via Chrome Sync remain only as long as the extension is installed or until you clear your browser data. Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored settings and functionality.
Support Buddy may display links to external resources, including websites operated by our partners:
Report Harmful Content (https://reportharmfulcontent.com/)
Revenge Porn Helpline ( https://revengepornhelpline.org.uk/)
Stop Non-Consensual Intimate Image Abuse (https://stopncii.org/)
The Scottish Government (www.gov.scot)
X’s reporting page
These sites are not operated by Support Buddy. Their privacy policies are independent of this policy, and users should review them separately.
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. The “Effective Date” will reflect any changes.
