Privacy Policy
Humble Tools makes small, focused Safari extensions. This policy covers the Humble Tools Safari extensions (the "Extensions"): Full Page Screenshot, SuperVideo, Last Login, and Autofill Forms. A note on tools still in development, Grocery Verdict and Site Routes, is at the end. It is written to be true, not to fill space.
The short version
The Extensions collect no personal data, send nothing to us or anyone else, contain no analytics, no trackers, and no advertising. Everything each Extension does happens locally in your browser, on your device. We have no servers that receive your data because the Extensions never transmit any.
Who is responsible
The data controller is Humble Tools, operated by Nicolas Mertens. Questions: mail@nicolasmertens.com.
What each Extension accesses, and why
To function, browser extensions must be granted access to web pages. Here is exactly what each one touches and why, and what it does NOT do.
- Full Page Screenshot: when you trigger a capture, it reads the visible content of the tab you are on to stitch a full-page image, which is saved to your Downloads folder on your device. The image is never uploaded anywhere.
- SuperVideo: reads video elements on pages you visit so it can change playback speed, fill the window, and toggle captions. Caption auto-translate is performed by the site's own player (for example YouTube), not by us; no caption text or viewing data is sent to us.
- Last Login: reads sign-in form fields on pages you visit to show you which account or method you last used, entirely on your device. It never stores, transmits, or has access to your passwords or credentials on any server.
- Autofill Forms: reads and fills form fields on the page you are on, using a profile you keep on your Mac. Your profile never leaves your device and is not sent anywhere.
Broad site access ("all sites") is requested only because these features must work on whatever page you choose to use them on. Access is used solely for the feature above and for nothing else.
Data we collect
None that leaves your device. Any settings you choose (for example a default speed) are stored by your browser locally and can be removed by uninstalling the Extension or clearing its data.
Sharing, selling, tracking
We do not share, sell, or transfer any data, because we do not collect any. We do not track you across sites or apps. There are no third-party SDKs.
Retention and deletion
We hold no user data to retain or delete. Local settings live only in your browser under your control. To erase them, remove the Extension.
Your rights
Because we process no personal data on our side, there is nothing for us to access, correct, or erase on your behalf. If you believe otherwise or have any privacy question, contact mail@nicolasmertens.com and we will respond. (EU and EEA users: you retain your GDPR rights; the honest position is that we are not a processor of your data.)
Children
The Extensions are general-purpose utilities and are not directed at children, and they collect no data from anyone.
Tools still in development
Two tools are not yet released, and the on-device statements above do not apply to them because they work differently. Grocery Verdict gives an independent read on grocery products while you shop; to do that it may need to fetch product information over the network, and when it ships this policy will spell out exactly what it accesses and what, if anything, it sends. Site Routes sends the websites you choose through a VPN you already use, so they load as if from another country, while every other site stays direct; because it works with network routing rather than staying purely on-device, it will carry its own specific privacy terms when it launches, and it is not yet available.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date above.
