Overview

ctrl-f ULTRA is a browser extension plus this marketing website. This policy describes what information is involved in each, in plain language. Questions? Contact: mailto:info@ctrlfultra.com

This website

The site is used to describe the extension and link to install sources. It does not require an account. The marketing site is hosted on Firebase Hosting (https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy), which is operated by Google. Google may process technical information (such as IP address, user agent, and request timestamps) to deliver pages, operate the CDN, and secure the service. See Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and Firebase’s privacy documentation at the link above.

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics (https://www.cloudflare.com/web-analytics/) on this site: a small script (beacon) from Cloudflare runs in your browser to collect aggregate usage data—such as which pages are viewed, referrers, and high-level technical context—so we can understand traffic and improve the site. As Cloudflare describes that product on their overview page (linked above), it does not use cookies or localStorage to collect these metrics; they state they do not fingerprint individuals via IP address, user agent, or similar data for the purpose of displaying analytics; and they describe their approach as separate from ad-driven models that build visitor profiles for retargeting. We do not use Firebase Analytics on this marketing site. Cloudflare processes this analytics data under its own terms; see Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy (https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/).

Browser extension

The extension enhances find-in-page on sites you choose to visit. Search and highlighting run in your browser; we do not operate a backend that receives the text you search or the pages you view for that purpose.

The extension requests permissions typical for this kind of tool, including access to open tabs, storage, scripting on pages, and broad host access so the find bar can run on the pages where you use it.

Preferences you set in the extension (such as theme, search options, saved queries, and keybind reminders) are stored with the browser’s extension storage APIs. When you are signed in and have browser sync enabled (Chrome sync, Microsoft account sync for Edge, or Firefox Sync), those items can be copied between your devices by Google, Microsoft, or Mozilla—the same way other synced browser data works. We do not operate a separate ctrl-f ULTRA server for this; sync is handled only by your browser vendor under their privacy policy. If sync is off or unavailable, data stays on the device. PDF viewer zoom is kept per-device and is not synced.

PDF-related behavior uses your browser’s PDF viewer context; no PDF content is uploaded to us by the extension.

Sync limits

Browser sync storage has size limits. If a preference blob is too large to sync, the extension may keep it only on that device until you reduce saved data (for example, fewer saved queries).

Extension stores

Installing or updating through a browser extension store is handled by that platform. It may collect data and show developers aggregate statistics under its own terms—we do not control those systems. Refer to the privacy policy for the store you use:

· Chrome Web Store (Google): https://policies.google.com/privacy

· Firefox Add-ons (Mozilla): https://www.mozilla.org/privacy/websites/

· Microsoft Edge Add-ons: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement

· Apple App Store (Safari / Mac distribution): https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

Changes

We may update this policy when the product or site changes. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do.
