SpurioPrivacy policy
Spurio collects no personal data. There is no Spurio server that could receive any.
Effective 18 August 2026.
The extension
- No collection. Spurio sends no data to picardbuilds or to any third party. No account, no email, no signup.
- No telemetry, no analytics, no automatic crash reporting.
- Your settings stay with you. Preferences, lists and counters live in browser local storage (
chrome.storage.local) on your device. Uninstalling the extension deletes them. - No sale or sharing of data, since there is none to sell.
- What Spurio never reads: your history, your cookies, your passwords, your form entries, or the contents of tabs you open. Its permissions are scoped to the sites on its own list.
The sites Spurio visits on your behalf receive an ordinary visit from your browser and your IP address, exactly as if you had opened them yourself. Their own policies apply to those visits. That is how the tool is meant to work, not a side effect.
This website
- No cookies, no scripts, no external fonts, no third-party requests. You can confirm all of that with “view source”.
- No analytics — no Google Analytics, no equivalent.
- The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any host, Cloudflare processes technical logs (IP address, timestamp, browser type) to serve pages and defend against abuse. We don’t consult them for marketing and we add no identifiers of our own.
Extension stores
Once Spurio is published, installation will go through Google (Chrome Web Store) or Mozilla (Firefox Add-ons). Those platforms count installations and apply their own privacy policies, which we do not control. They give us no data that identifies a user.
Your rights
Quebec’s Law 25 and Canada’s PIPEDA give you rights of access, correction and deletion over personal information a business holds about you. We hold none about Spurio users — there is nothing to access, correct or delete. If you email us, we keep your message as long as it takes to answer you.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date above is updated and the history stays visible in the public repository. We commit to never quietly adding data collection: the GPLv3 licence and reproducible builds would make it visible anyway.
