Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 June 2026

This policy explains what the Reperio browser extension ("Reperio", "we", "us") accesses, how it is used, and what leaves your device (nothing). It applies to the Reperio extension for Chrome, Firefox, and other supported browsers.

1. Who we are

Reperio is developed by Apperside. If you have any questions about this policy or your privacy, contact us at [email protected].

2. Our approach: local-first by design

Reperio is a new-tab search and bookmark manager. Everything it does happens inside your browser. We do not operate any backend server that receives your data, we do not have user accounts, and we do not run analytics or telemetry of any kind. Because there is no server involved, there is no copy of your data anywhere for us — or anyone else — to access.

3. What Reperio accesses on your device, and why

To do its job, Reperio reads certain information from your browser. All of it is processed locally to show you search results and is never sent off your device:

• Your browser bookmarks — read so they appear in search results. Reperio treats native bookmarks as read-only and never creates, edits, or deletes them.
• Your open tabs — read so you can find and switch to a tab you already have open.
• Your browsing history — searched so past pages are findable from the search bar. History is queried through the browser's own API and results are rendered locally. History search can be turned off entirely in settings.
• Page metadata, only when you save a page — when you explicitly save a page (via the toolbar button, the keyboard shortcut, or the "Add to Reperio" right-click menu), Reperio reads that one page's title, description, and icon so your saved bookmark is useful. This happens only on the page you choose to save, only at the moment you save it. By default Reperio runs on no web pages at all. (If you turn on the optional "search on any page" feature described below, a small search overlay loads on pages so the keyboard shortcut can open Reperio's search anywhere — it still reads nothing from the page and sends nothing anywhere.)

4. What we collect and transmit

Nothing. Reperio does not collect, transmit, sell, rent, or share any personal or usage data. Specifically:

• No accounts, sign-in, or user identifiers.
• No analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or usage tracking.
• No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
• No cloud sync in this version — your data is not uploaded anywhere.

5. Permissions and why each is needed

Browsers require extensions to declare the permissions they use. Here is exactly why Reperio requests each one:

Permission	Why Reperio uses it
bookmarks	Read your browser bookmarks (read-only) so they appear in search results.
history	Search your browsing history from the search bar. Processed locally; can be disabled in settings.
tabs	Show and switch to your open tabs, and read the current tab's title and URL when you save it.
activeTab + scripting	When you explicitly save a page, read that single page's metadata and show a save confirmation. Used only on the page you act on, only when you act — never in the background.
contextMenus	Add the "Add to Reperio" entry to the right-click menu.
storage + unlimitedStorage	Store your Reperio library (saved links, tags, categories, folders) and settings locally in your browser, without arbitrary size limits.
all sites (optional)	Only if you turn on "search on any page": lets the search overlay open on any website via the keyboard shortcut. This access is optional — requested on an explicit click from the new tab, never at install — and you can revoke it anytime in your browser's extension settings. Reperio still reads and transmits nothing from the pages you browse.

Reperio requests no website access when you install it. The only way it can run on web pages is the optional "search on any page" feature above, which you turn on yourself and can turn off at any time.

6. Third-party services

Reperio does not send your data to any third party. The only time your browser contacts another service is when you choose to act:

• Opening a result navigates your browser to the URL you selected, just like clicking any link.
• Searching the web from Reperio sends your typed query to the search engine you pick (for example Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Brave Search, or Ecosia) by opening that engine's results page. That request is made by your browser to the engine and is governed by that engine's own privacy policy. Reperio itself transmits nothing.

7. Storing, exporting, and deleting your data

Your Reperio data lives in your browser's local database on your device and remains there until you remove it. You are always in control:

• Export your entire library to JSON or HTML at any time.
• Delete individual items, or wipe all Reperio data, from within the extension.
• Uninstalling the extension removes its locally stored data in accordance with your browser's handling of extension storage.

8. Children's privacy

Reperio is a general-purpose productivity tool and is not directed at children. Because we collect no data at all, we do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the EU/UK GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) — for example to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and not to have it sold. Reperio does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to us, so we hold no information about you to access, export, correct, or erase. You manage all of your Reperio data directly within your browser, and we never sell data because we never receive any. If you have questions about your rights, contact us at [email protected].

10. Changes to this policy

If Reperio's data practices change in a future version — for example if optional cloud sync is added — we will update this policy and revise the "Last updated" date above before that functionality ships. Any new data handling would be clearly described and, where it involves your data leaving the device, strictly opt-in.
