Privacy Policy

Sanoja is a small personal project for learning Finnish vocabulary while browsing. This page explains exactly what it does and does not do with your data.

What Sanoja does

• When you select or double-click a word or short phrase on a webpage, that text is sent to Google's public translation service (translate.googleapis.com) to get a translation. This is the only network request Sanoja makes, and it only happens when you actively select text — Sanoja never reads or transmits a page's content on its own.
• Words you look up, along with your review schedule, quiz history, and streak, are saved using Chrome's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your own computer. This data is never uploaded to any server Sanoja controls — there isn't one.
• Your two toggle settings (enabled / speak automatically) are saved using chrome.storage.sync, which is Chrome's own built-in settings sync (the same mechanism used by e.g. your bookmarks, if you have Chrome sync turned on). This is handled entirely by Google's Chrome sync infrastructure, not by Sanoja.

What Sanoja does not do

• No analytics, tracking, or telemetry of any kind.
• No accounts, sign-in, or user identifiers.
• No advertising.
• No data is sold, shared, or used for anything beyond showing you a translation and saving your word list locally.
• No data collection beyond the word/phrase you explicitly select for translation.

Third-party services

The only third party involved is Google's translation endpoint, used solely to translate the text you select. Its use is subject to Google's own privacy policy. Sanoja has no relationship with Google beyond calling this public endpoint.

Permissions

• storage — to save your word list and settings locally, as described above.
• Access to translate.googleapis.com — to perform translations.
• Content script on all pages — to detect when you select or double-click a word so a translation popup can appear. It only acts on text you've explicitly selected.
