2. Types of Data Collected and Methods of Collection ​
This extension handles the following personal data:
- Bluesky Login ID and Password
- When users utilize the Bluesky API through this extension, they enter their Login ID and Password.
- However, these credentials are not stored on our server and are only processed within the user’s browser (Local Storage).
Children’s Personal Data ​
This extension is intended for use by all users, including those under the age of 16. There are no special age restrictions. If a user under the age of 16 uses this extension, we request that consent and permission be obtained from a parent or legal guardian.
3. Purpose of Data Use and Legal Basis ​
Purpose of Use ​
- Provision of Functions Using the Bluesky API
- Users enter their login credentials so this extension can interact with Bluesky, enabling them to follow or block other accounts, among other features.
Legal Basis ​
- Consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a))
- In using this extension, if the user voluntarily provides login information and agrees to this Privacy Policy, we will process the login information based on the user’s consent.
Voluntary Provision of Personal Data ​
- Providing login information for this extension is entirely at the user’s discretion. However, if login information is not provided, features such as following or blocking via the Bluesky API cannot be used.
4. Third-Party Provision and Use of External Services ​
- We do not provide personal data obtained through this extension to any third parties.
- We do not use Google Analytics or other analytics tools or cloud services, and no data is transmitted to external services.
5. Data Retention Period ​
Storage in the Browser’s Local Storage
- Only the Login ID is stored in the user’s browser Local Storage.
- It remains stored until the user explicitly deletes it.
- We do not store any data on our servers.
Data Deletion Method

6. User Rights ​
Under GDPR, users have the following rights:

- Right to Object: The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: The right to withdraw consent at any time (this does not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal).
Since this extension only stores personal data (Login ID) in the user’s browser, users can exercise the right to erasure in practice by uninstalling the extension or manually deleting the data from Local Storage. Because this data is not saved on our servers, there is no need to contact us directly for deletion, but if you have any questions, please reach out to us at the contact details below.
Automated Decision-Making (Profiling) ​
We do not perform automated decision-making or profiling using users’ personal data.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority ​

7. International Data Transfers ​
We do not transfer users’ personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Additionally, we do not store personal data on our servers, so there is no transfer of data outside the EEA.
8. Data Security Measures ​
- We do not store personal data on our servers; thus, there is no risk of data breach on the server side.
- We implement appropriate security measures regarding the handling of login information within this extension. However, it is the user’s responsibility to manage and protect data stored in the browser’s Local Storage.
