Where Privacy Thing stores data

See what stays in local storage, session storage, or tab memory.

Saved configuration

Privacy Thing stores Regional Presets, rules, and settings in the browser's local extension storage, so no account is required. This configuration is not synchronized between browsers.

X-Ray activity

X-Ray activity stays in memory for one tab.

Privacy Thing clears it on a top-level navigation. Closing the tab also ends that activity record.

Optional debug logs

Debug logs are separate from X-Ray and are created only while Debug Mode is enabled. They stay in extension session storage and are not sent to a Privacy Thing analytics server.

Move your settings

You can save the configuration to a file and load it in another installation.

See Import and export configuration for details.
