Privacy Policy

What Floatlink does not do

• It has no account and no sign-in.
• It does not send your browsing activity, page contents or personal information to the developer or to anyone else.
• It has no analytics, advertising or tracking code.
• It does not load remote code. Everything it runs ships inside the extension.

Data that stays in your browser

Your settings

Your trigger key, preview size, toggles and the list of sites where you switched Floatlink off are saved with your browser's built-in extension storage (chrome.storage.sync). If browser sync is on, your browser syncs them across your own devices through your browser account. The developer never receives them.

While a preview is open

To show a page in the floating window, Floatlink keeps track, in your browser's memory, of which tab has a preview open and which sites it is showing. This is used only to apply its page-loading rules and remove them again, and it is cleared when the preview closes.

Site icons

Site icons in the preview's title bar are read from your browser's own local icon cache.

Network requests

Floatlink loads the pages you choose to preview, just as your browser would if you opened them in a tab. It makes a request of its own in one case only: if a preview is blocked because a link redirects to another site, it sends one HEAD request, without cookies, to the link's own website to find out where the link leads.

Permissions

Floatlink asks for access to all websites, because you can preview a link to any website. It uses that access only to show the floating window and to let the previewed page load inside it. It does not read or collect the contents of the pages you visit.

Children

Floatlink does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
