Hush: Noiseless Browsing for Safari

I find their privacy policy rather disturbing.

Basically they initially say no data ever leaves the device but then they go on to say:

1) in case of a problem they gather detailed log data

2) They “may” store third party tracking cookies

3) Third parties will get access to my personal information (though they seem to promise they won’t abuse it) hmm

4) They directly write that they can’t guarantee the safety of my personal information

I think I’ll pass on this one.

The extension was also posted here (where I originally posted the above comment): https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=trastknast

Author here. Apple requires you to have a privacy policy available online to even submit the an app for review. I used this from a generator I found online with the intention to update this one in the next app submission to point to the repo, but it blew up yesterday and just haven't gotten around to doing that yet. No bad intentions, what's said on the website is true, and you can verify that in the code.

I quickly pushed up the draft I had locally and will submit an update to App Store, but they have to review it before it goes public. Feedback welcome! https://github.com/oblador/hush/blob/master/PRIVACY.md
