Privacy Policy for bskqus Extension

1. Introduction
   The bskqus Extension is a Firefox add-on designed to enhance the user experience by identifying BlueSky links within Disqus comments and replacing them with rich previews using data provided by BlueSky’s oEmbed service. This privacy policy outlines how the extension handles, collects, and processes user data.
2. Information Collection
   The bskqus Extension is designed with your privacy in mind:

No Personal Data Collection: The extension does not collect or transmit any personal data about you. It solely interacts with the content on the web pages you visit to identify and process BlueSky links.

Local Storage: The extension uses Firefox’s storage.sync (or local storage) solely to store minimal configuration data (such as the list of activated domains) needed for its proper functioning. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to any external server.

External Requests: When a valid BlueSky link is detected, the extension fetches preview data from BlueSky’s oEmbed API at https://embed.bsky.app/. This request is made directly from your browser and does not include any personal or sensitive information. Any data logged by BlueSky is subject to their own privacy policies.

1. How We Use Your Information
   The data handled by the extension is used exclusively to:

Determine whether to activate the extension on a given domain.

Fetch and render preview content for BlueSky links found within Disqus comments.

No information is shared, sold, or otherwise distributed to any third party.

1. Data Storage and Security
   Local Storage and Processing: Minimal configuration data is stored locally on your device in a secure environment provided by Firefox. No personal data is uploaded to external servers.
2. Third-Party Services
   BlueSky oEmbed Service: The extension fetches preview HTML from BlueSky’s oEmbed service. While the extension itself does not process your personal data, please be aware that BlueSky may log and use your request data according to their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review BlueSky’s privacy policy for more information on how they handle data.
3. Changes to This Privacy Policy
   We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices and services. When we make updates, we will revise the effective date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any modifications.
