BeeFace Privacy Policy
Effective date: April 22, 2026
BeeFace (the "Extension") is a Chrome extension that helps users avoid accidental interactions on Facebook and Messenger. This Privacy Policy explains what data the Extension accesses, how it is used, and what choices users have.
1. Scope
This policy applies to the BeeFace Chrome extension running on:
- https://www.facebook.com/*
2. Data We Access and Process
BeeFace works locally in the browser and may access or process the following data to provide features:
- User-configured lists stored in browser storage:
- Respect list (mg_formal_members)
- Stalkless list (mg_stalkless)
- Facebook page context (for example, profile identifiers and current page URL) to determine where protections should apply.
- Message text in Facebook or Messenger input areas, processed in memory to detect informal Vietnamese wording for Respect warnings.
- Interaction context (clicks or keys on relevant UI elements) to block or confirm actions in Stalkless mode.
- Story video UI state needed to provide scrub or seek controls.
- Profile display-name resolution from the active Facebook tab and, when needed, a direct request to the target Facebook profile URL.
3. Data We Do Not Collect or Sell
BeeFace does not:
- Sell personal data.
- Transfer personal data to data brokers.
- Use user data for advertising.
- Use or transfer user data for creditworthiness or lending decisions.
4. Where Data Is Stored
- Extension settings and lists are stored locally using chrome.storage.local.
- Some temporary runtime values may exist in memory while pages are open.
- BeeFace does not operate its own backend server for user data storage.
5. Data Sharing and Third Parties
BeeFace does not send user data to the developer server.
Network access is limited to Facebook pages required for core functionality, such as:
- Running content scripts on https://www.facebook.com/*
- Resolving profile display names from Facebook pages when users add links
6. Permissions and Why They Are Needed
- storage: Save Respect and Stalkless lists and settings locally.
- activeTab: Read the currently active Facebook tab context for profile resolution and targeted actions.
- tabs: Query tab URL and state to keep protections aligned with the current Facebook page.
- Host permission https://www.facebook.com/*: Apply protection and UI features on Facebook pages.
BeeFace does not load or execute remote code. Extension code is packaged with the published extension version.
7. Data Retention and User Control
Users control their data directly:
- Remove entries from Respect and Stalkless lists in the popup UI.
- Disable or uninstall the extension at any time.
- Uninstalling the extension removes extension data stored by Chrome for that extension.
8. Security
BeeFace is designed to minimize data exposure by processing data locally in the browser whenever possible.
9. Children's Privacy
BeeFace is not specifically directed to children under 13.
10. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated when features or compliance requirements change. Updates will be reflected by revising the Effective date.
