Fluncle's Findings

Privacy

This page covers what Fluncle Lens, the browser extension, and fluncle.com, the public archive, do with your data. The short of it: Fluncle Lens reads pages locally in your browser to find Fluncle coordinates, and the only thing it ever sends out is a coordinate it has already detected. Nothing about your browsing leaves the browser.

Fluncle Lens (the browser extension)

Fluncle Lens scans the pages you let it scan for Fluncle coordinates, written fluncle://XXX.Y.ZZ, and surfaces the matching finding.

What it reads
Each page's text, locally in your browser, to spot coordinates. The page content is not collected, stored, or sent anywhere.
What it sends
Only a detected coordinate, which is a public Fluncle finding ID, to fluncle.com, to fetch that finding's public details: title, artist, and links. Nothing else about the page leaves the browser.
What it stores
Your settings, and only your settings: the "scan all websites" toggle, the "show hover cards" toggle, and the "open findings on" preference. These are saved locally through the browser's own storage and are not transmitted.
What it does not do
It does not track your browsing, run analytics on the pages you visit, collect personal information, show ads, or sell or transfer any data.
Permissions it uses
activeTab, to read the current tab when you act on it; storage, to save your settings; and host access to www.fluncle.com, to fetch a coordinate's public details. That is the whole list.

The site (fluncle.com)

Public data
The archive and the API serve public finding data: titles, artists, and links. You do not need an account to read it.
Logs and analytics
The server keeps standard request logs to run and protect the site. Visitor counts use Simple Analytics, which is cookieless and collects no personal information. There is no advertising or cross-site tracking.
