What Conscious collects
- Your email. Used only to sign you in (via Google or email/password through Firebase Authentication). Not used for marketing.
- The decisions you create. Decision titles, options, criteria, ratings, notes, and tags. Everything you type into the app.
- Images you upload. Photos you attach to options. Stored on Cloudinary's CDN as unsigned uploads.
- The URL and title of the page you're capturing. Only when you actively use the Chrome extension's side panel on a tab. The URL and title pre-fill into a new option so you don't have to copy-paste. We don't read tabs you haven't opened the panel on.
What Conscious does not collect
- No browsing history. The extension's broad host permission exists only so the side panel can fetch images from product pages with your browser context (so the image actually loads — many product CDNs reject anonymous requests). It is not used to read or track sites you visit.
- No analytics, no telemetry. No third-party trackers, no session recording, no usage events sent anywhere. (Crash reporting may be added later; if it is, this page will say so.)
- No payment information. Conscious is free. No cards, no billing, no payment processor involved.
- No tracking across sites or devices. No advertising IDs, no cross-site cookies, no fingerprinting.
Where your data lives
Decisions, options, criteria, ratings, notes, and tags are stored in
Google Cloud Firestore under the project
conscious-eaadc. A local copy is also kept in your
browser's IndexedDB (via RxDB) so the app works offline; the two
stay in sync.
Images you upload are stored on Cloudinary's CDN. The URL of each uploaded image is saved alongside the option it belongs to in Firestore.
Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication, which stores your email and a hashed credential.
Who can see it
Only you, when signed into your account. Conscious has no shared workspaces or collaboration features yet — your decisions are private to your account. Anyone with administrative access to the Firebase project (currently just the author) could in principle query the underlying database, but the application does not expose anyone else's data through its UI or API.
Third parties we use
- Google (Firebase Authentication, Firestore). Stores your email and your decision data. See Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudinary. Stores images you upload. See Cloudinary's privacy policy.
No other third parties receive your data.
Deleting your data
There isn't an in-app "delete my account" button yet. To delete your account and all associated data, email me@rostyslav.rocks from the email address on the account. Your decisions, options, ratings, notes, uploaded images, and the Firebase Auth record will be removed within seven days, and you'll get a confirmation back.
Self-service deletion is on the roadmap and will land before the project leaves beta.
Changes to this policy
If anything material changes — a new third party, a new category of data collected, a change to how data is shared — this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date at the top will move.
