    Privacy Policy

    Last Updated: February 21, 2026

    Introduction

    TrickleType ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to absolute privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data—which is to say, we don't.

    Information We Collect

    We collect absolutely ZERO personal data. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts.

    • Your text content NEVER leaves your device.
    • We do not use any third-party tracking scripts (like Google Analytics or Mixpanel).

    Local Execution

    All text processing, formatting, and pacing happens locally in your Chrome browser.

    • The extension directly manipulates the DOM of your active Google Doc tab.
    • No servers are involved in the typing process. Period.

    Permissions Explained

    Our extension requires minimal permissions to function safely:

    • activeTab & sidePanel: Required to display the user interface alongside your work.
    • docs.google.com: Required to allow the extension to inject simulated keystrokes into the document editor.
    • storage: Used solely to save your active session state locally (so if you close the panel, it remembers where it was).

    Changes to This Privacy Policy

    If we ever change how TrickleType works (e.g., adding cloud features), we will prominently announce it and update this page. However, our core philosophy is local-first.
