Cloakpier — Privacy Policy

Cloakpier stores settings and your chosen site list only in your browser, using storage.local. The list and settings are plain text in your local browser profile. Exported JSON files are unencrypted. Nothing is sent to Zydeno or anyone else by the extension. There are no accounts, analytics, telemetry, advertising, remote code, or network requests made by the extension.

When you ask Cloakpier to open a website, your browser connects to that website as usual. The website and your network can still receive information about the visit. Private browsing does not hide your network address or erase earlier regular browsing activity. Downloaded files, bookmarks and saved passwords can remain on your device.

Permissions:
activeTab lets Cloakpier read the current page address following your toolbar, menu or shortcut action.
contextMenus adds the page and link right-click command.
storage saves only settings and your site list locally, with no browsing log.
Optional webNavigation, requested when you enable the site list, receives navigation addresses in memory so matching top-level pages can be opened privately. The listener is registered without a site filter to work after a background worker restart. It can receive navigation events for sites outside your list while granted; these addresses are not saved or transmitted. Subframes are ignored. Turning the list off stops processing; you can also revoke the permission in your browser.
Optional history, requested only when you enable address removal, deletes ALL regular history visits for the exact address that was opened privately. It is not enabled by default and deletion cannot be undone. Cookies, downloads and recently closed tabs are not removed.

Private-window access is controlled by the browser, not a permission prompt from Cloakpier. It is needed where the browser requires it and for confirmed moves, automatic site moves, history removal and visibility of existing private windows. Basic opening in browsers that allow it keeps the original tab without requiring private execution access. No private browsing history is recorded by Cloakpier.

A regular request may begin before an automatic move. A successful operation means that a private tab was created, not that a remote website loaded successfully. Original tabs are kept if opening fails. List deletion and imports can be undone during the current page session. History deletion cannot be undone. Removing the extension removes its browser storage; delete any exported files separately. Your browser or device backups may retain copies under their own settings.
