HNRank Privacy policy

Last Updated: May 30, 2023

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of JitBit ("we", "us", "our") in connection with the HNRank browser extension ("HNRank", "Extension") and any associated services, features, content, or applications offered by us (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains the information we may process, how that information may be used, with whom it may be shared, and your choices about such uses and disclosures. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the HNRank Extension.

Information We Process

We do not directly collect or store any personal information from you when you use HNRank.

Automatically Processed Information

When you use HNRank, the Extension processes the URL of the page you are visiting. This information is processed solely for the purpose of providing you with information about whether the page has been shared on Hacker News. This data is sent to the Algolia API, which facilitates the provision of the HNRank Service. We do not store or have access to this data.

Third-Party Information

We use the Algolia API to fetch data from Hacker News to provide you with information about whether the URL you are visiting has been shared on Hacker News, along with the associated number of upvotes and comments.

How We Use Information

The Extension processes the URL data to determine if the current webpage you're visiting has been submitted to Hacker News, and to enable you to submit the page to Hacker News if it hasn't been shared before.

Data Sharing

We do not share or sell any data with third parties for marketing purposes or for any purposes outside the scope of the Extension's features. The Algolia API privacy policy governs how Algolia handles data processed by the HNRank Extension. You can review Algolia's privacy policy at https://www.algolia.com/policies/privacy/.

Your Choices

You have the ability to uninstall the HNRank Extension at any time, which will stop any further data processing by the Extension.

Security

We strive to use reasonable measures to protect your information, although please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
