Privacy policy

Privacy by default

This policy explains how burnSYMBOL handles information across this website and its browser extensions, including Dark Reader Button and PiP Button. The short version: privacy is treated as a product feature, not an afterthought.

No extension telemetry

Dark Reader Button and PiP Button are presented as privacy-first tools designed without analytics, advertising, or user behavior tracking.

Minimal website data

If this website uses hosting logs or basic operational records, those are handled only as needed to keep the site secure and functioning normally.

Clear disclosure

This policy is written to state plainly whether data is collected, where settings may be stored locally, and when third parties may be involved.

Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to burnsymbol.com and related product pages, as well as browser extensions published under the burnSYMBOL name. It covers what information may be collected, how it may be used, and what users can expect when visiting the site or installing an extension.

Plain-English summary: browser extensions should collect as little as possible, and if they do not collect personal data, that should be stated clearly and directly.

Website data

When you visit this website, standard technical data may be processed by the hosting provider automatically. This can include information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page, and basic request timing needed to deliver pages securely and detect abuse.

That information, if present, is used for site delivery, reliability, and security purposes only. It is not sold, and it is not used to build advertising profiles.

What may be processed

Server logs, page requests, basic browser metadata, and operational diagnostics needed for uptime and abuse prevention.

What is not intended

No interest-based advertising, no data brokerage, and no hidden collection designed to profile visitors across sites.

Browser extensions

burnSYMBOL extensions are designed to work locally inside the browser whenever possible. Dark Reader Button and PiP Button are intended to provide user-facing functionality directly on the page without requiring account creation or remote tracking services.

  • PiP Button: designed as a local content-script style tool that enables Picture-in-Picture controls on supported videos without external analytics or network-based telemetry.
  • Dark Reader Button: designed to remember appearance preferences and apply local styling behavior without advertising or behavioral tracking.
Important: if an extension store listing, browser review process, or future release changes what data is processed, this policy should be updated to match the live shipped behavior exactly.

Local storage and saved settings

Some extensions may store settings locally in the browser so features continue to work across visits. For example, a dark mode tool may save per-site preferences, custom color choices, or mode selections using browser-provided local extension storage.

Local settings storage is used to preserve functionality requested by the user, not to identify the user personally. These settings stay tied to the browser environment unless the browser itself syncs extension settings through the user's own browser account.

Examples: theme mode, hostname-based preference memory, selected custom colors, or whether a feature is enabled by default.

Third parties

This website may rely on third-party infrastructure providers such as web hosts, domain registrars, CDN services, font providers, or browser extension marketplaces. Those providers may process limited technical data as part of delivering their own services.

Browser extensions may also be distributed through official browser stores such as the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, Safari extension channels, Microsoft Edge Add-ons, or Opera Add-ons. Those platforms have their own privacy practices and terms.

If analytics, embedded media, external forms, or additional third-party scripts are added later, they should be disclosed here before being deployed broadly.

Security

Reasonable steps should be taken to protect any operational information associated with the website, including secure hosting practices, software updates, and access controls where appropriate. No method of electronic storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but unnecessary data collection is avoided as a core privacy measure.

Your choices and controls

  • Browser controls: You can remove an extension at any time through your browser's extension manager.
  • Stored settings: You can reset or clear local browser storage and extension storage through browser settings or by reinstalling the extension.
  • Cookies and site data: You can manage cookies, cached content, and site permissions directly in your browser.
  • Third-party services: If you interact with browser stores or external platforms, their own opt-out and privacy controls may also apply.

Policy updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect product changes, legal requirements, or operational improvements. When updates are made, the revised version should be published on this page with a new effective date.

Effective date: April 24, 2026
