Starpoint Privacy Policy

Last updated

Effective date: October 31, 2026

This policy explains how Starpoint, a browser extension made by Shadowstar (“we”, “us”), handles information. It covers the Starpoint extension only. For our other services, see the Shadowstar Privacy Policy.

Summary

  • Starpoint has no accounts and no Starpoint server. We never receive your notes.
  • Your points are stored locally in your browser.
  • Starpoint reads only the web address (URL) of the tab you’re viewing. It never reads the content of the page.
  • Starpoint has no analytics, advertising or tracking.
  • Data leaves your browser only when you choose to download, back up or sync it.

Information Starpoint stores

Everything you create in Starpoint is stored in your browser’s local extension storage on your device:

  • Points: your notes, tasks, link groups and verses (saved text for copying later)
  • Destinations: the web addresses, sites or locations your points are attached to
  • Logs: the list of destinations you’ve marked
  • Settings: your preferences, such as where a point’s trail follows you and how the panel behaves
  • Locked items: points you’ve protected with a code or passphrase, stored in encrypted form

Points created in a private or incognito window are also kept after that window closes, so you can come back to them.

Information Starpoint reads

  • The address of the current tab. Starpoint reads the URL of the tab you’re on so it can prefill a destination and show the points that belong there.
  • Open tab addresses, only when you ask. If you save a group of links from your open tabs, Starpoint reads those tabs’ addresses at that moment.

Starpoint does not read page content, form fields, passwords or anything you type on websites, and it does not record your browsing history.

When data leaves your browser

Starpoint is not built to send your data anywhere on its own. Data leaves your browser only through actions you choose:

  • Download: saves a chart file of your points to your computer.
  • Save to a folder: writes a chart file to a folder you pick. Starpoint writes only that file and does not read or watch the rest of the folder.
  • Bookmarks (optional): if you turn this on, Starpoint also saves your points as browser bookmarks. Bookmarks are handled by your browser. If your browser’s own sync is on, your browser may sync them to your browser account like any other bookmark.
  • Google Drive (optional): if you connect Google Drive, Starpoint reads and writes only the chart file you choose. It requests the limited drive.file access, which can’t see your other Drive files. The connection is between your browser and Google, and we never receive it.
  • Other sync destinations (optional): if you set up sync to another storage location of your own, your chart file goes only to that destination.
  • Support link: opens shadowstar.io in a new tab. Nothing from Starpoint is sent with it. The website has its own Privacy Policy.

When you use Google Drive or another service, that service’s own privacy policy applies to the copy stored there.

Codes and passphrases

You can lock any point with its own code or passphrase. Starpoint uses it to encrypt that point on your device. Codes and passphrases are not logins and are never sent anywhere. Neither Starpoint nor Shadowstar can see them.

Important: if you lose a code or passphrase, the item it protects cannot be opened and cannot be recovered by anyone, including us.

What we don’t do

  • We don’t collect, sell, rent or share your data.
  • We don’t use your data for advertising, profiling or credit decisions.
  • We don’t use analytics or tracking inside Starpoint.
  • We don’t have any way to read your points, because they never reach us.

Starpoint’s use of information it reads from your browser follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Keeping or deleting your data

You control your data at all times:

  • Delete individual points or logs inside Starpoint.
  • Uninstall Starpoint to remove its local storage from your browser.
  • Files you’ve exported (downloads, folder copies, Google Drive copies, bookmarks or other sync destinations) stay where you put them until you delete them.
  • Disconnect Google Drive at any time from Starpoint or from your Google account’s security settings.

Children

Starpoint is a general-purpose tool and is not directed to children under 13. Since Starpoint doesn’t collect personal information, we hold none from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If Starpoint changes how it handles data, we’ll update this policy and the effective date above before the change takes effect. Significant changes will also be noted in the extension’s listing.
