Sidemorphic privacy statement

Sidemorphic collects nothing, sends nothing, and has no server.

What it stores, and where. Your scratchpad, snippets and pinned sites are saved as ordinary bookmarks, in a folder called "Sidemorphic" in your Other Bookmarks, with a copy in the browser's extension storage. Sidemorphic itself sends nothing anywhere: there is no account, no server of ours, and no network request of any kind.

Syncing. Because that data is bookmarks, your browser's own sync carries it to your other machines, exactly as it carries the rest of your bookmarks — under whatever settings and encryption your browser provides, between you and your browser maker. We are not involved and cannot see it. If you do not sync bookmarks, nothing leaves the machine. Deleting the folder deletes the data. There is no account and nothing to sign in to.

Snippets and the page you are on. Clicking a snippet copies it and, if you have granted access to that site, inserts it at your cursor. It writes your own text in and reads nothing out — no page content, no form values. Decline the permission and the snippet is still on your clipboard to paste yourself.

Website access. Sidemorphic installs with access to no websites. The first time you open a pinned site in the panel, the browser asks whether to grant access to that one site — this is needed because showing a site in a panel means removing the headers that normally stop it being framed. You can decline, and the site opens in an ordinary tab instead. You can withdraw access at any time from the browser's extension settings.

What it reads about your browsing. When you press "+" to pin a site, it reads the address of the tab you are on so it can fill that address in for you. It is shown on screen, saved only if you press Save, and used nowhere else. Sidemorphic does not read page content, and does not keep any history of where you go.

No third parties. No analytics, no tracking, no remote code, no external fonts or images, no requests to any service — including ours. Site icons come from the browser's own cache.
