Privacy Policy
Effective date: [DATE]
1. Who is responsible
Sebastian Jaskolka Softwareentwicklung, Sebastian Bernhard Jaskolka, Gontardplatz 7, 68163 Mannheim, Germany. Email: support@tunneloff.com.
2. Scope
This policy covers the TunnelOFF browser extension (available for Chrome, Edge and Firefox) and this website.
3. The extension
TunnelOFF runs entirely inside your browser. It reads the structure of the page you are looking at to draw the focus overlay and to compute the Noise Score. That happens on your device and nothing leaves it.
- No personal data is collected, transmitted, sold or shared.
- No servers, no accounts, no analytics, no remote code, no third parties.
- We cannot see which pages you visit, your history or what you read.
The extension stores the following in your browser's local extension storage, never synced, and deletes it when you uninstall:
- Five settings:
fullscreenEnabled,autoActivateAllSites,mothCursorEnabled,mothCursorThreshold,noiseMarkersEnabled. - A numeric Noise Score per open tab (
noiseScore_<tabId>), deleted when the tab closes.
Our use of information received from browser APIs and web pages adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
4. The optional “Always on for every website” permission
By default the extension only runs on a page when you activate it. If you switch on “Always on for every website”, your browser asks you to grant access to all websites. That access is used solely to run the same local overlay automatically. It is requested only when you turn the option on, and you can revoke it at any time in your browser's extension settings.
5. Your controls
- Switch off “Always on” in the extension popup.
- Revoke the website permission in your browser's extension settings.
- Uninstall the extension to delete everything it stored. There is no account to delete because there is none.
6. This website
This site is hosted by Vercel Inc., USA. To deliver the page and for security, Vercel processes connection data (IP address, user agent, timestamps) in server logs. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating the site (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Transfers to the USA are covered by [LAWYER: EU-US Data Privacy Framework / standard contractual clauses per Vercel's current DPA].
The site sets no cookies and uses no analytics, no third-party fonts and no embeds. The demo video is served from this site.
7. Contact by email
If you email us, we process what you send us to answer you. We keep the correspondence for [RETENTION].
8. Your rights
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and port your personal data, and to object to its processing. You can complain to a supervisory authority: in Germany [COMPETENT_LANDESDATENSCHUTZBEHÖRDE]; in the UK the ICO; in Canada the Office of the Privacy Commissioner; in Australia the OAIC. In practice there is nothing to access or erase, because the extension does not collect personal data.
9. Country-specific notes
- USA / California: We do not sell or share personal information. We do not collect it.
- United Kingdom: UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 give you the same rights as above. [LAWYER: Art. 27 UK representative, exemption assumed.]
- Canada: We collect no personal information through the extension. Privacy questions: support@tunneloff.com.
- Australia: We handle data in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.
10. Children
TunnelOFF is not directed at children under 16 and collects no data from anyone.
11. Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published here with a new effective date.
