Savy Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 21, 2026

Savy is built with privacy at its core. Our primary goal is to save your data and block unwanted requests, not to collect your information. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what data we handle and how we protect your privacy.

What We Do NOT Collect

Savy is designed to operate locally on your device. We guarantee that we do not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:

• Browsing History: We do not know what websites you visit.
• Specific URLs: We do not track or log the pages or specific URLs you access.
• Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, IP addresses, or any identifiable details.
• Identity: We have no way of knowing who you are.

What Data We Collect (Opt-In Only)

By default, Savy operates entirely offline and all statistics (such as how many ads were blocked or how many megabytes were saved) are stored strictly on your device using chrome.storage.local.

If you explicitly opt in to anonymous reporting, we only collect anonymous, aggregated totals to help us improve the extension. This includes:

• Total bytes saved globally.
• Total requests blocked globally.

This data contains no identifiers and cannot be traced back to you or your browsing habits.

Additionally, when you use the Speed Test dashboard on savy.myshic.com and have explicitly enabled anonymous sharing, we store speed test results to help build a public picture of internet quality. Speed test sharing is strictly OFF by default, and nothing is transmitted unless you enable it. When sharing is enabled, the stored information includes only:

• Download and upload speeds.
• Latency (ping) and jitter.
• Internet Service Provider (ISP) name.
• Your connection's city and country (coarse geolocation).
• A randomly generated anonymous session ID (to evaluate consecutive tests and connection quota exhaustion).
• Optionally (if you select it), your connection medium (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Mobile).

All collected speed test data may be displayed in aggregate form (such as ISP performance rankings, community averages, or leaderboard stats) on savy.myshic.com, and never includes raw IP addresses or anything that identifies you individually.

Location and District Data (Planned, Opt-In)

To support upcoming community reports, we are planning a privacy-first district reporting feature. Under this feature, if you explicitly grant location permission on your device (on a per-test basis):

• Savy will check your device's location exactly once during the test to assign your speed test result to a coarse city district (neighborhood or municipality level).
• Your precise GPS coordinates are processed entirely on your local device and NEVER leave it. We only ever transmit and store the resolved district name, never raw coordinates, and never your IP address.
• To guarantee complete anonymity, district-level averages are only displayed publicly once a sufficient number of tests have been submitted in that specific area, ensuring that no individual user's results can ever be singled out.
• This feature is strictly opt-in and remains disabled until you choose to grant location access.

Local Storage Use

Savy relies on your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local) to save your settings and keep track of your personal savings statistics (e.g., "30 MB saved today"). This data never leaves your device unless you enable anonymous reporting, and even then, only the numeric totals are shared.

Data Selling and Third Parties

We do not sell your data. No third parties receive any personal data from Savy, because we do not collect any personal data to begin with.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change how we handle your data, we will update this Privacy Policy. However, our commitment to never collecting your personal browsing history will not change.
