Skysquare is designed to respect reader agency and minimize data collection. This policy explains what information Skysquare handles, how it is used, what technical services we rely on, and what Skysquare does not do.

Overview

Skysquare is a Chrome extension that displays public Bluesky conversation in context with the web pages you visit. When you open a supported page, Skysquare may read the active page URL and relevant page text in order to find public Bluesky posts, quoted passages, engagement signals, and related public profiles connected to that page.

Skysquare does not operate an advertising business, does not sell user data, and does not use browsing activity for advertising, profiling, credit decisions, or data brokerage.

Skysquare is built around a simple principle: public conversation works better when the source stays in view and data collection stays minimal.

What Skysquare Does Not Do

Skysquare does not:

Sell user data
Collect private messages or private posts
Use browsing activity for advertising or profiling
Inject third-party tracking pixels or advertising networks
Operate an engagement-optimization feed or behavioral advertising system
Store your Bluesky password

There is no behavioral advertising layer and no data brokerage.

Information Skysquare Handles

Active page URL and page text

Skysquare reads the URL and relevant text of the active page only to provide its core feature: finding and displaying public Bluesky conversation connected to the page you are viewing.

Skysquare does not build an advertising profile from your browsing activity and does not sell or transfer browsing activity to advertisers, data brokers, or information resellers.

Public Bluesky content

Skysquare surfaces publicly available Bluesky posts, quotes, engagement counts, profile metadata, and related public social context. This may include public handles, display names, avatars, follower counts, post text, quote text, URLs, likes, reposts, replies, and timestamps.

This information is used to show public discourse in context and to improve the accuracy, freshness, and usefulness of Skysquare’s page-specific results.

Bluesky account access

A Bluesky account may be required for authenticated features such as list-based filtering, social graph filtering, replying, or other user-selected actions.

Skysquare uses Bluesky OAuth for account access. Your Bluesky password is not shared with Skysquare. OAuth session material is handled by the browser extension and OAuth library. Skysquare may store basic account identifiers such as your Bluesky handle and DID when needed to authenticate you, apply your selected filters, or provide account-based features.

Skysquare does not use your Bluesky account access for advertising, profiling, or resale.

When you use features such as “people I follow,” list-based filtering, or related discovery tools, Skysquare may process or cache public or account-authorized Bluesky social graph information, such as follows, followers, lists, and related public profile data.

This information is used only to provide Skysquare’s user-facing filtering, discovery, and contextual display features.

Technical and analytics data

Skysquare may collect limited technical and usage data needed to operate, secure, debug, and improve the extension. This may include browser type, operating system, extension version, error reports, feature usage events, filter changes, highlight interactions, and pseudonymous or anonymized session identifiers.

When you are logged in, some technical events may include your Bluesky DID or handle so we can diagnose errors, correlate support requests, and maintain service reliability.

Technical and analytics data is not used for advertising, retargeting, data brokerage, or sale.

Optional contact information

If you choose to contact Skysquare or request support, we may collect:

Your name
Your email address
Any message you voluntarily provide

This information is used only to respond to you or provide updates you requested.

How Information Is Used

Skysquare uses information only to:

Display public Bluesky conversation in context with web pages
Match quoted public text to source pages
Apply user-selected filters and views
Refresh and improve public engagement data
Support authenticated Bluesky features chosen by the user
Understand how features are used and improve product usability
Identify, debug, and fix technical errors
Respond to inquiries or provide requested updates
Maintain security, reliability, abuse prevention, and service integrity

Skysquare does not use user data for personalized advertising, retargeting, data brokerage, or sale.

Technical Services and Analytics

Skysquare uses a small number of technical service providers to operate, secure, monitor, and improve the extension.

Error Monitoring — Sentry

Skysquare uses Sentry to identify and fix technical errors. Error reports may include technical details such as browser type, operating system, extension version, stack traces, error messages, and the active page URL where the error occurred.

When you are logged in, error reports may also include your Bluesky DID or handle so we can correlate technical issues with user reports and support requests.

Sentry data is used for debugging, reliability, and security. It is not used for advertising, profiling, or resale.

Product Analytics — PostHog

Skysquare uses PostHog to understand how the extension is used and improve the product. Analytics events may include feature usage, filter changes, clicks, highlight interactions, interface events, browser and operating system information, and pseudonymous or anonymized session identifiers.

PostHog analytics are used to improve Skysquare’s features and usability. They are not used for advertising, retargeting, data brokerage, or sale to third parties.

Infrastructure — Amazon Web Services

Skysquare runs backend infrastructure on Amazon Web Services in the United States. AWS services may be used for database storage, compute, logging, monitoring, security, caching, and archival storage.

Data processed through AWS may include public Bluesky posts, public profile metadata, URLs connected to public discourse, user DIDs or handles needed for account features, cached social graph data, system logs, and operational metrics.

AWS processes this data only as necessary to operate Skysquare.

Security and Delivery — Cloudflare

Skysquare uses Cloudflare for security, content delivery, DDoS protection, web application firewall protection, and performance. Cloudflare may process request metadata such as IP address, headers, device/browser information, and requested URLs as part of providing these services.

Cloudflare is used to protect and deliver the service. Skysquare does not use Cloudflare data for advertising or resale.

Cache and Rate Limiting — Redis

Skysquare may use Redis or similar caching systems for temporary storage, rate limiting, session coordination, and performance. Cached data is short-lived and expires automatically.

Redis is used to improve speed, reliability, and abuse prevention. It is not used for advertising or data brokerage.

Bluesky and AT Protocol Services

Skysquare uses Bluesky and AT Protocol services to access public posts, public profiles, public engagement data, and account-authorized information needed for user-selected features.

When you sign in with Bluesky, Skysquare uses OAuth. Your Bluesky password is not shared with Skysquare. Depending on the features you use, Skysquare may access your public profile, follows, lists, and related public social graph information to provide filtering, discovery, reply, and contextual display features.

Skysquare does not access private messages or non-public content unless a future feature explicitly requests permission and you choose to authorize it.

Contact, Email, Support, and Payment Providers

If you choose to contact Skysquare, request support, or purchase a paid product, Skysquare may use third-party providers to process those user-initiated actions.

These providers are used only as necessary to respond to you, provide requested updates, manage support, process payment, operate subscriptions, or maintain required business records.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use Statement

Skysquare’s use of information received from Chrome APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Skysquare uses extension data only to provide and improve its single purpose and user-facing features, maintain security, fix errors, understand product usage, and operate the service.

Skysquare does not use or transfer extension data for personalized advertising, retargeting, credit decisions, data brokerage, or unrelated purposes.

Skysquare does not transfer user data except as necessary to provide or improve the service, comply with law, protect against abuse or security threats, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets after any required user consent.

Data Retention

Skysquare minimizes retention of user-associated data.

Public Bluesky content and public engagement metadata may be stored or cached to provide the service, improve response speed, maintain historical public discourse context, and avoid duplicate network requests.

Technical logs, error reports, analytics events, cache records, and rate-limiting data are retained only as long as reasonably needed for debugging, security, reliability, analytics, or service operation.

Support and email requests are retained only as long as needed to respond, provide requested updates, or maintain required business records. You may request deletion of contact information you provided.

Security

Skysquare uses standard security practices to protect the integrity of the service, including secure transmission, OAuth-based authentication, access controls, infrastructure-level protections, and monitoring for abuse or service failures.

Skysquare’s primary privacy safeguard is minimizing the private information it collects in the first place.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date. Skysquare’s guiding principle—minimizing data collection and avoiding attention extraction—will remain the same.
