Scintilla World

Privacy & Data Protection Statement

We build lightweight utilities that run entirely in your browser. No ad tech, no telemetry, no back-end databases— just tools that stay on your device.

Last updated November 2025
Applies to scintilla.world & SynapseSave

At-a-glance

Scope Applies to scintilla.world, every Labs experiment, and the SynapseSave Chrome extension (“Services”).

Commitment We do not collect, transmit, monetize, or disclose personal data. All operational data remains local to your device and can be cleared by you at any time.

01

Coverage

This policy covers all Scintilla World properties, including:

  • scintilla.world and any hosted microsites or documentation
  • Crazy Ideas tools (calculators, planners, experiments)
  • SynapseSave and future Chrome extensions
02

Data We Do Not Collect

Scintilla World does not collect personal identifiers, telemetry, or behavioral data. Specifically:

  • No names, emails, payment details, or authentication tokens
  • No browsing history, clipboard data, or page content
  • No IP addresses, device fingerprints, or location info
03

Local Storage Only

Certain utilities store strictly necessary snippets locally so features keep working:

  • Calculator inputs, reminders, or task lists
  • SynapseSave tab titles, wake times, and preferences (via Chrome storage)
  • Interface choices such as theme or language

Everything stays on your device. Clearing browser data or uninstalling an extension immediately and irreversibly removes the associated data.

04

Use of Local Data

Locally cached information is used solely to deliver the feature you activated—for example, snoozing a tab or keeping a converter pre-filled. It is never repurposed for analytics, advertising, profiling, or disclosed to third parties.

05

Chrome Extensions

SynapseSave follows the same principles:

  • Uses Chrome's local storage API only
  • Never transmits visited URLs, content, or metadata elsewhere
  • Does not request unnecessary permissions
06

Cookies & Third Parties

We do not use cookies for tracking, nor do we embed analytics SDKs, fingerprinting scripts, or advertising pixels. All pages rely exclusively on first-party code.

07

Security & Control

Because data never leaves your browser, security is handled by your operating system and browser vendor. Recommended steps:

  • Keep your browser up to date
  • Clear local storage regularly if desired
  • Disable or remove extensions you are no longer using
08

Your Rights

  • Access & deletion: You already control the sole copy; deleting local storage or uninstalling removes it.
  • Opt-out: You may cease using any Service at any time without notice.
  • Portability: Because we do not host personal data, there is nothing for us to export or transfer.
09

Children's Privacy

Our Services are intended for general audiences. Because we do not collect information, no personal data relating to children is stored or processed by us.

10

Compliance

By avoiding collection and transmission, Scintilla World aligns with the intent of GDPR, CCPA, and Chrome Web Store Developer Programme Policies. There are no processors, sub-processors, or onward transfers.

11

Changes

If our approach changes, we will update this page, highlight material revisions, and timestamp the new version. Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
