Privacy Policy

What stays on your device

Everything. Specifically:

• Your documents. The .origami.html files you open, create and edit are read from and written back to your own device, only when you explicitly open or save them.
• Preferences and recents. Settings such as your theme, and the list of recently opened documents, are stored locally using the browser's storage API so the app can restore them next time.
• Autosave and backups. While you edit, the Studio keeps local autosave snapshots and timestamped backups of the current document (in IndexedDB and the browser's private file storage) so your work isn't lost. These never leave your device. This is why the extension requests unlimitedStorage — documents can be several megabytes, and the default quota is too small for reliable local backups.

None of this data is transmitted to us or to any third party.

Permissions, in plain terms

• storage / unlimitedStorage — store your preferences, recents, autosaves and backups locally, as above.
• file:///* (and the file:// content script) — let the extension recognise an .origami.html file you double-click or choose, open it in the Studio, and save your edits back to that same file. It only touches files you explicitly open, and does not browse, collect or transmit your files. You also have to enable “Allow access to file URLs” for the extension.
• nativeMessaging — used only by the optional Go Live feature, and only when you turn it on. A browser extension cannot open a local network port itself, so Go Live connects to a small companion app you install separately to serve the document you're editing from your own machine, over your own local network (for example, to open it on your phone via a QR code). It connects only to that local companion; nothing is sent to us or to any remote server. If you never use Go Live, this never runs.

Network activity

The extension makes no network requests for its own operation, and contains no analytics or telemetry. There are two cases where your content can cause network activity — both under your control:

• Live embeds via Go Live. If you add an embed (for example a video or a dashboard) to a document and then use Go Live, your browser loads that embedded content directly from the third party that hosts it, subject to their privacy policy — not ours. Offline, embeds are shown as static link cards and load nothing.
• Serving on your local network. When you choose Go Live, the document is served from your machine to other devices you point at it on your own local network. It is not uploaded to the internet or to us.

Export

Exporting to PowerPoint, Word or image formats happens entirely on your device. No document content is sent anywhere to perform an export.

Remote code

All of the extension's code ships inside the package; the extension never downloads or executes code from a remote server. For full transparency: the offline export feature uses a bundled third-party HTML-to-image library that internally uses new Function() on in-package data — no external code is involved.

Data sharing and sale

We do not sell or transfer your data to third parties. We do not use or transfer your data for any purpose unrelated to the extension's single purpose, and we do not use it to determine creditworthiness or for lending. There is no user data for us to share, because we never collect any.

Children

The extension is a general-purpose document tool, is not directed at children, and collects no personal information from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this same location with a new effective date.
