Privacy Policy

This policy explains what the "X Likes Backup Assistant" browser extension does with your data.

Summary

The extension helps you back up the tweets and long-form articles you have liked on x.com (Twitter) to your own device. It does not upload, transmit, sell, or share your data with anyone.

What Data Is Collected

The extension reads the responses to the Likes and TweetDetail requests that x.com itself makes in your browser while you are logged in and browsing your own likes page. From those responses it stores, on your device only:

  • The text, media references, author handle, and timestamp of tweets you liked.
  • The full body of a long-form article, but only when its tweet is already in your saved likes, so the extension never becomes a log of articles you merely visited.

Where Data Is Stored

All saved data lives in your browser's local IndexedDB, using database name x-likes-db, on the machine where you use the extension. It is never sent to the extension author or to any server. Uninstalling the extension or clearing the site or extension data removes it.

Permissions And Why Each Is Needed

  • storage is used to save your liked tweets and articles in local IndexedDB.
  • Host access to https://x.com/* and https://twitter.com/* lets the extension read the likes and article responses that x.com returns to your own browser session, in order to save them locally. The extension does not make requests to any other website and does not use remote code.

What The Extension Does Not Do

  • Does not collect analytics, telemetry, or crash reports.
  • Does not contain advertising or tracking SDKs.
  • Does not request, store, or transmit your x.com password or login cookies.
  • Does not send your data to any third party.

Children's Privacy

The extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
