We at Spree are committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy applies to our browser extension (Spree), our website (https://getspree.co), any subdomains of GetSpree.co.
The information we gather or process is used solely for core functionality of Spree and to improve the quality and security of our service. Your information isn't and has never been sold to third parties.
Your name, email, account settings, and extension data (such as to-dos and links) are transferred and stored securely, solely for your usage within our extension and not shared with any other third parties, except as specified in this policy.
WebExtension APIs used within Chrome Extensions and Firefox Add-ons have fine-grained permission levels that are enforced by the Web Browser, restricting information that our extension has access to within your Browser. The Spree extension can only access specific information that you have explicitly granted permission for. We do not track your browsing history.
Additional optional permissions may be requested when you enable specific features. When you enable a feature that requests an optional permission, your Web Browser will make it clear what permission(s) are being requested. The feature will be accessible once you choose to allow the requested permission(s).
| Information/Permission | Feature | Where it is used | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tabs, Web Navigation | Managing Tabs | Accessing tabs and web navigation are mandatory to provide the core funcitonality of the extension. We interact with the Tabs and Web Navigation APIs to keep track of your tabs and add the Spree overlay, restore Sprees by creating a new tab, and updating the icons and titles of tabs. | No |
| Local Storage | Storing Sprees | We store your Sprees, tab URLs, icons, and other data in your browsers' local storage. | No |
| Identity | Online Account | Used to assist and identify users when they sign up for an online Spree account to backup their Sprees, and share them between devices. | Yes |
You can prevent your location and/or IP address from being sent to directly to our third-party weather provider by turning off the Weather app (Settings → General → Toggle Weather). Alternatively, with the Spree Plus advanced Weather app, your location is sent only to our servers to retrieve current weather information.
To improve the content, features and overall experience of the extension, we gather and log data on how our users access and use Spree Dashboard. For example, we may log actions like clicking on a photo source, favoriting a quote, or completing a to-do (not the content of the to-do, just the action of completing it).
Some of this usage data is sent to Google Analytics. In these cases, we do not send any identifying information that could be correlated with your account. We also make use of their IP anonymization feature to prevent your IP from being associated with your usage data.
We use several vendors/sub-processors to conduct various aspects of our business.
| Vendor | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Google Cloud Services | Google Cloud Services powers our core Cloud infrastructure (providing the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and other related technology required). |
| Google Analytics | Google Analytics is an industry standard third-party analytics service that we use to better understand the usage and performance of our service(s). The information is anonymized so that it is not tied to your IP address. |
| Slack | Used for internal communications. User data may be discussed for support purposes. |
| Gmail | Used for internal communications. User data may be discussed for support purposes. |

Upon account deletion, your account is flagged as deleted and your data is no longer accessible. This data is stored for a grace period (90 days) to allow for account recovery in the case of accidental or malicious deletion, or your desire to reopen your account. Upon request, you can expedite the process of performing a hard delete to remove all of your personal data from our databases. After a hard delete, your data will be deleted from our system, but could still be present in encrypted database backups for up to an additional 35 days.

Data security is a priority at all times. We use a Tier 1 cloud provider to run our operations (Google Cloud Services).

All data in our databases and their associated backups are encrypted at rest.
