Privacy Policy

Your data is yours.

We built ScrollSwapp to protect your attention — not to monetise it. Here's exactly what we collect, what we don't, and how to remove everything if you want to leave.

Last updated March 24, 2026
What we collect

Five things. No surprises.

We only collect data that makes the product work for you. Each item below has one stated purpose.

📧

Your email address

Used to create and identify your account. We send transactional emails only — no marketing unless you opt in.

📚

Your reading library

PDFs, EPUBs, and articles you save. Stored so you can access them from any device and pick up where you left off.

📖

Reading progress

Which page or chapter you're on. Used only to restore your position when you return to a book.

⚙️

Extension settings

Which sites you've chosen to block, your intervention mode, and your daily override limit. Synced across devices.

📊

Reading statistics

Pages read, reading streak, and time spent reading. Used only to power your own progress dashboard.

What we don't collect

We don't sell data. Full stop.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with any third party for advertising or marketing purposes. Our only revenue source is subscriptions.

Your browsing history on any site other than those you explicitly configure to block

The content of any web page you visit

Data from users who have not created a ScrollSwapp account

Location data of any kind

Device identifiers or fingerprinting data

🚫

No ads. No ad networks. No tracking pixels.

ScrollSwapp is ad-free. We do not allow advertisers to pay to promote their products inside our app or extension. Revenue comes from subscriptions only.

Chrome extension

Every permission, explained.

The extension monitors navigation to sites you configure to block and redirects you to your reading list. It does not record which blocked sites you visited, how often, or when.

storage

Saves your settings and cached reading list locally in the browser — never sent anywhere without your action.

tabs

Redirects your browser tab to your reading list when you visit a blocked site.

webNavigation

Detects when you navigate to a blocked site so it can intervene. We do not log which sites you visit.

alarms

Powers focus session timers and the daily override reset at midnight.

contextMenus

Adds a "Save to ScrollSwapp" option when you right-click any link or page.

notifications

Sends a notification when a focus session ends. No content is stored.

Your control

Leave whenever you want.

🔒

Data storage

Your data is stored on servers in the European Union. All transmission uses HTTPS. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. Payment details are handled entirely by Polar — we never see your full card number.

🗑️
