X PiP Feed — Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 17, 2026

Overview

X PiP Feed is a browser extension that displays your X timeline in a Picture-in-Picture window. This policy explains what data the extension accesses, where that data is stored, and when third-party services are used.

Data Collection

X PiP Feed does not collect, store, or transmit user data to any server operated by the developer. Specifically:

• No analytics or tracking. The extension does not include analytics, telemetry, or tracking code.
• No accounts or sign-ups. The extension does not require or create user accounts.
• No data sold. User data is not sold to third parties.

Data Accessed Locally

The extension accesses the following data, all of which is stored locally on the user’s device unless translation is enabled for selected accounts:

• Website content from X: Tweet text, usernames, timestamps, and tweet URLs needed to render the PiP feed.
• Extension settings: Preferences such as refresh interval and translation account settings.
• Cached feed state: Recent tweets stored in Chrome storage so the PiP window can update from the hidden pinned source tab.

Third-Party Services

If translation is enabled for selected accounts, the extension sends tweet text for those configured accounts to Google Translate so translated text can be returned. This is the only third-party service used by the extension beyond loading X itself.

Permissions

• tabs: Used to create, update, and manage the dedicated hidden pinned X tab and to open original posts when clicked from the PiP feed.
• storage: Used to save settings and locally cached feed data.
• alarms: Used to refresh the hidden pinned X tab on the configured interval.
• X host access: Required so the extension can run on X pages, read timeline content, and show the PiP launch button.

Data Retention

Cached tweets are stored locally in Chrome storage and are overwritten as the feed updates. Settings remain in Chrome storage until changed or removed by the user. Uninstalling the extension removes extension-managed local data from Chrome.

Changes

If this privacy policy is updated, the changes will be reflected here with an updated date.
