FlipIT - Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 13, 2026

    TL;DR: FlipIT does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. Everything runs locally in your browser. There are no servers, no analytics, no tracking, no third parties.
  

About FlipIT

FlipIT is a Chrome extension that automatically detects Hebrew text on web pages and aligns it right-to-left (RTL) for improved readability. It works entirely within your browser and does not communicate with any external server.

Data We Collect

We do not collect any personal data. Specifically, FlipIT does not collect or process:

Personal information (name, email, address, phone, ID numbers)
Health information
Financial or payment information
Authentication credentials (passwords, PINs, security questions)
Personal communications (emails, chat messages)
Location data (IP address, GPS, etc.)
Web browsing history
User activity tracking (clicks, mouse movements, keystrokes)
Page content from websites you visit

Local Storage

FlipIT saves a small number of user preferences locally on your device using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.local API. This includes:

Whether the extension is enabled or disabled
Whether math-direction protection is enabled

These settings never leave your device and are not transmitted anywhere. They are only used to remember your preferences between browser sessions.

Permissions Used

FlipIT requests only the permissions strictly necessary to function:

activeTab - to detect Hebrew text on the current page and apply RTL alignment
storage - to save your local preferences (enable/disable, math protection)
host_permissions: <all_urls> - to allow the extension to align Hebrew text on any website you choose to use it on

How the Extension Works

All text detection and direction alignment happens inside your browser via a content script. The extension scans visible page elements for Hebrew characters using a Unicode pattern match and applies CSS direction styling locally. No page content is ever read, copied, transmitted, or stored outside the page you are viewing.

Third Parties

FlipIT does not use any third-party services, analytics, advertising networks, tracking pixels, or external APIs. It does not send any HTTP requests of its own.

Children's Privacy

FlipIT does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy changes in the future, the updated version will be published at the same URL with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of FlipIT after such changes constitutes acceptance.
