Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 October 2026
This policy covers the Switch Chrome extension and switchextension.com. In short: we collect only what accounts, sync, payments, and shared spaces need, and we never sell your data.
Reverse Media Group Limited, company no. 08911775, registered in England and Wales (registered office 167-169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London W1W 5PF) operates Switch and is the data controller.
Data on your device
Your tabs, Spaces, and settings are stored locally in your browser. To suggest sites and power search, the extension reads your Chrome browsing history on your device; your browsing history and page content never leave your device. Uninstalling the extension removes local data.
Data on our servers
- Account: your email address. Passwords are stored hashed, never in plain text.
- Sync: when you are signed in, your Spaces and favourites (saved tab URLs and titles) sync to your account.
- Shared spaces: tabs and links you explicitly add to a shared space, so the people you share with can see them, along with your email address so they know who shared it. Shared space links are deleted after 31 days.
- Payments: your subscription status and Stripe customer reference. Stripe processes payments; we never see your card details (Stripe's privacy policy).
- Logs: your IP address (rate limiting only, deleted within two days), when you last used the service, and any feedback you send us.
Third parties
We share data only with the providers that run the product — Stripe (payments), Google (sign-in and email), and our hosting provider (data encrypted in transit and at rest) — or if required by law. Neither the website nor the extension sends analytics.
Limited use
Switch's use of data complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements: we collect only the data above, we never use or transfer it for advertising, and no human reads it except with your consent or where required for security or by law.
Your data, your rights
We keep account data while your account exists and process it to provide the service you signed up for (and, where consent applies, until you withdraw it). Our servers are in the United States; UK and EU transfers are covered by our providers' standard contractual clauses. Email support@switchextension.com at any time to access, correct, delete, or restrict your data, or object to its use. EU/UK users may also complain to their local data protection authority.
Children
Switch is not for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
