Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Privacy Commitment

Textra ("we," "our," or "the workspace") is engineered from first principles with absolute respect for user privacy. We believe software should operate as an empowering local tool rather than a vehicle for continuous remote data collection.

This Privacy Policy outlines how privacy and data storage are structured in the current version of Textra when installed inside web browsers. By using Textra, you acknowledge the local storage practices described below.

2. Data Storage & Local Persistence

When you write, format, or organize documents within Textra, your content is stored locally on your machine—either inside your browser's database sandbox via IndexedDB (Browser Storage Mode) or directly on your local hard drive as real files via the Textra Bridge (Local Storage Mode).

• In the current version of Textra, your files and folder structures are kept local to your device and are not transmitted to remote servers. We have no access to or custody over your local documents.
• Your workspace data is saved directly on your device rather than external cloud infrastructure.
• Your documents remain accessible exclusively on the device where they were created.

3. Browser Permissions & Network Connections

Textra requests minimal WebExtensions permissions necessary to operate as a local browser workspace:

While your files and documents remain strictly local and offline, the extension establishes encrypted HTTPS connections solely for: (1) loading typography web fonts selected in theme settings from Google Fonts or user-imported font URLs, (2) non-blockingly checking textra.cc for bridge binary updates, and (3) transmitting user-initiated support inquiries.

4. Analytics, Telemetry & Diagnostics

Textra contains zero third-party tracking scripts, advertising identifiers, or background telemetry SDKs. We do not collect usage statistics or inspect the contents of your workspace.

The only technical diagnostics gathered are basic environment parameters (extension version, operating system, and storage mode) that are auto-attached when you voluntarily choose to submit a Bug Report in the in-app feedback form to assist with troubleshooting.

5. User Ownership, Export & Deletion

You maintain total ownership and control over your workspace at all times:

• Export & Portability: You can export your full folder hierarchy and documents to standard .zip archives or plain text files whenever you choose with zero vendor lock-in.
• Soft Trash: Deleted items move to an internal trash view first (.trash folder in Local Storage Mode) with instant restore capability.
• Deletion: Removing Textra from your browser automatically purges browser-stored workspace data. Files stored in Local Storage Mode remain safely preserved on your computer in your designated folder.

6. User-Initiated Contact & Feedback Submissions

When you voluntarily reach out or submit a bug report via Textra's in-app Contact & Feedback form (Settings → About), we collect the email address, subject, and message text you provide so our team can reply to your inquiry. For bug reports, basic technical diagnostics (extension version, operating system, and storage mode) are attached to assist with troubleshooting.

These communications are transmitted securely over encrypted HTTPS to our official support API endpoint (https://textra.cc/api/feedback) and processed solely for customer support. We never sell, rent, or share your contact details or feedback with advertisers or third-party marketers.

7. Chrome Web Store & Google API User Data Compliance

Textra strictly adheres to the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies, including the User Data Policy and Limited Use requirements:

• No Data Sale: We do not sell, rent, monetize, or broker your personal data, files, or technical diagnostics to any third parties, data brokers, or advertising networks.
• Single-Purpose Limited Use: Any data handled by Textra is strictly utilized to provide the core browser workspace and local file explorer functionality as advertised. Data is never repurposed, aggregated, or transferred for unrelated purposes.
• No Lending or Credit Evaluation: User data is never used or transferred to determine creditworthiness or for financial lending purposes.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect improvements, new features, or regulatory requirements. When we do, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page is automatically updated to reflect the latest revision. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
