Privacy policy
What the extension sees, and what it never takes.
The Brvndlab browser extension has one job: saving a post you picked on Instagram or YouTube to your inspiration library. It has no other purpose, and the text below describes exactly what the published code does.
What the extension reads
- On Instagram, the posts you open: preview image, video, caption, author account name, format (photo, video, carousel), and dimensions.
- On YouTube, the video you're watching: title, channel, thumbnail, ID.
- People in your Instagram conversations: username, display name, profile photo. This lets Brvndlab recognize who you're talking to.
- Nothing else. The extension runs only on instagram.com and youtube.com, and on no other site.
How it reads it
- It sends no requests to the platforms. It only reads what the page has already loaded to display itself.
- No automated browsing, no account crawling, no background collection. It waits for you to click “Save.”
What's sent to Brvndlab
- Only when you click “Save”: the post URL, its title, its caption, the author, the preview image, the video if there is one, and the note you write.
- The image and video are copied to our servers, because Instagram file URLs expire within a few days. No YouTube video is copied. Playback goes through YouTube's official player.
- People recognized in your messages stay in your browser and are never sent.
Authentication
- The extension never sees your password. It uses a random token generated in your browser when you pair it.
- Brvndlab only keeps its cryptographic fingerprint (SHA-256): even if our database leaked, the token couldn't be replayed.
- You can revoke it at any time by clicking “Disconnect this workspace” in the extension.
Retention and sharing
- Saved inspiration lives in your Brvndlab workspace and disappears when you delete it.
- No data is sold, rented, or shared with third parties for advertising.
- No tracking, no browsing analytics, no cookies set by the extension.
