Bump Around

PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy explains how the Bump Around Chrome extension (“Bump Around”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you install and use it.


Bump Around has a single purpose: to let you discover new, curated websites with one click, based on your selected interests.


All data we use exists only to support this feature.


1. Information we do not collect


Bump Around does not collect or store:

  • Your name, email address or contact details

  • Passwords or authentication information

  • Payment or financial information

  • Precise location data

  • Your full browsing history across the web

  • The content of emails, messages or personal communications

​

We do not create user profiles and we do not use data for advertising.


2. Information we do use


To make the extension work, we use a small amount of User activity data related to how you use Bump Around itself.


Stored locally in your browser - Using Chrome’s storage API, we keep:
 

  • The interests / categories you select

  • A list of websites that have already been shown to you

  • Your reactions to suggested sites:

    • 👍 Like

    • 👎 Dislike (so we do not show that site again)

    • ⭐ Save (to keep a simple favourites list)

​

This information is stored only in your browser as extension data.


Sent to our backend when you click “Bump” - When you press the Bump button, the extension sends a minimal request to our backend service (Cloudflare Worker) that includes:

  • Your selected interests

  • An internal exclude list of sites that should not be shown (for example, already seen or disliked)

​

The backend uses this only to choose the next website to open and returns a single URL. We do not attach your name, email or similar identifiers to these requests.


3. How we use this information

 

We use the information described above only to:

  • Suggest a new website when you click Bump

  • Personalise suggestions based on the interests you selected

  • Avoid showing websites you have disliked

  • Show you a small list of recently bumped or saved sites​

​

We do not use the data for:

  • Advertising or marketing

  • Selling or renting data to third parties

  • Tracking you across unrelated websites

​

4. Data sharing and third parties


We do not sell, rent or trade your data.


We use standard infrastructure providers (for example, Cloudflare) to host our backend. These providers may process technical data such as server logs in order to deliver the service and maintain security. We do not use this data to identify individual users.


When Bump Around opens an external website (one of the suggested sites or the Buy Me a Coffee support page), any information you provide there is handled under that website’s own privacy policy. Bump Around does not receive or store your payment information.


5. Data retention and control


Data stored locally in your browser (interests, likes, dislikes, saved sites) remains there until you:

  • change it in the popup,

  • clear your browser’s extension data, or

  • uninstall the extension.

​

Technical logs on our backend are kept only for a limited time for security and debugging.
You can remove all local data at any time by uninstalling the extension from Chrome or clearing extension data in your browser settings.
