This Privacy Policy explains how the Social Data Export Explorer Chrome extension handles information and files when you use the extension.
1. Information We Collect
Social Data Export Explorer does not collect, store, sell or transmit the contents of your social media data exports.
When you select a ZIP file or an export folder, the extension processes the selected files locally on your device.
This may include data such as:
- Messages and conversations
- Photos and videos
- Audio and document files
- Contacts and usernames
- Social media activity
- Search history contained in exports
- Shared links
- HTML, JSON, TXT and other files contained in social media exports
This information remains on your device and is used only to provide the features requested by you.
2. Local File Processing
Files opened with Social Data Export Explorer are analyzed directly within the browser.
The extension may temporarily read and process selected files in memory in order to provide features such as:
- Searching messages
- Displaying conversations
- Building photo and media timelines
- Displaying contacts
- Organizing activity history
- Extracting links
- Generating statistics
- Exporting selected information
Processing is performed locally and does not require uploading your export to an external server.
3. Supported Social Media Exports
The extension is designed to work with data exports generated by services such as:
- TikTok
- Telegram
Social Data Export Explorer is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or officially associated with Meta, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram or their respective companies.
4. Local Storage
The extension may store limited preferences locally in your browser, such as your selected interface language.
These preferences do not contain the contents of your social media export.
5. Data Transmission
Social Data Export Explorer does not transmit the contents of your selected social media exports to our servers.
In particular, we do not remotely collect your:
- Private messages
- Photos or videos
- Contacts
- Search history
- Social activity
- Exported account information
6. Data Sharing and Sale
We do not sell, rent or share the contents of your social media data exports with advertisers, data brokers or other third parties.
7. Tracking and Advertising
The Social Data Export Explorer extension itself does not use your exported social media data for advertising, profiling or behavioral tracking.
8. File and Folder Access
The extension accesses files or folders only after you explicitly select them using the browser's file or folder selection interface.
Access is used solely to read and process the selected social media export for the functions of the extension.
9. Security
Because social media exports can contain sensitive personal information, Social Data Export Explorer is designed to minimize external data exposure by performing its primary processing locally.
However, users should always protect exported social media archives and avoid sharing them with untrusted parties.
10. Children
Social Data Export Explorer is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. The extension does not operate an online account system and does not collect the contents of user data exports.
11. Third-Party Links
Exported data may contain links to third-party websites, social media posts or external content. Opening these links may take you to websites governed by their own privacy policies.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party websites.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when new features are introduced or when privacy requirements change.
The latest version of this policy will be made available on this page.
13. Contact
