Privacy & legal terms



Beta software

Sava OS is at an early beta stage

By beta we mean that our code is not yet well or fully tested. We are not held responsible if any data is lost, damaged, or suddenly made inaccessible. While we do our best to test our products before a new release to prevent such events from happening, we recommend that you keep weekly backups by exporting all your data as a bookmarks file (further options, such as JSON, will be available soon).

Privacy

Your data is yours

We implemented application-level encryption to keep all your data safe & secure at all times—no one can snoop around. Seriously:

  • We cannot access or read your data.
  • We don’t save anything without your consent.
  • We don’t use third-party analytics software.
  • We never store IP addresses.
  • We don’t & cannot observe what you are doing.
  • We don’t track you with cookies.
  • We pledge never to sell or share any data.

Because of this, your feedback is highly appreciated, so that we can keep improving and making the best version of Sava OS for everyone.

Complete data anonymization!

Only you can unlock what is yours

With a complete data anonymization method built right at the core of Sava OS, no one can read your data, and no one can identify it back to your account—even if we were forced to. There are no hidden backdoors or any universal keys we can use to access or unlock your account. This means that your data is not only encrypted and inaccessible to us at all times, but it is also completely anonymous to your email address (the only accessible personal information).

Browser extension permissions

To enable some of the more advanced features we offer in the extension, we need to request certain permissions. These include the ‘tabs’ permission and the ‘*://*/*‘ (all sites access) host permission. We request these to enable the ‘All Tabs‘ and ‘Sessions‘ features. While this particular permission warning says ‘It could: Read your browsing history’ or ‘Read and change all your data on all websites‘ - it doesn’t mean that we do. In fact, we want to emphasize that we never save, send, or analyze any of your browsing history.


The warning is only there to bring to your attention that this is (in some ways) possible through these permissions. The only data that is ever sent to our servers is the one you decide to save. When a ‘Session‘ is activated, the visited URLs are kept in synch on our servers, but we cannot access this data. Read about data anonymization.


We understand that these warnings can be misleading and that’s why we also plan to open-source the extension source-code in the coming future. You can also inspect the code as-is from the extension itself. The features that request these permissions are made optional so that you can still use the extension to save sites without ever enabling them.

Data in the browser

To provide a more performant and efficient experience, and to reduce network load requests, we save some of your data locally on the device you used to access your account. It is important to know that with certain skills, anyone with access to this browser/device might be able to view it. This data is only wiped/deleted when you sign-out from your account.


While we have in mind to implement local-data encryption in the future, for now it is recommended to sign-out from your Sava OS account on non-personal devices to keep your data completely safe.

If you have any other concerns regarding your data or privacy, please do not hesitate to contact us.

No part of this service may be reproduced, distributed, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, recording, or other electronic or mechanical methods, without the prior written permission of the copyright holder, except in the case of brief quotations embodied in critical reviews and certain other noncommercial uses permitted by copyright law.



Browser cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies on your web browser when you login or create an account to primarily store your Sava OS access keys. This enables the auto-login feature when you revisit our website. These cookies are deleted whenever you sign-out from your account.


Furthermore, we use three performance cookies to store; 1) the theme preferences, 2) the version of Sava OS on your last login, and 3) to keep track of requests made on our servers.


Server requests (which are used for our own internal analytics tool) are completely anonymous and separate from your account and data—and at no point do we store your IP address. Rest assured, these are not tracking cookies, and they are used for two main reasons; 1) which page on our server was visited, and 2) the duration of the page visited. We use this data to break down unique visitor requests, calculate bounce rates, and perform other simple analytic processes to help us improve your experience.





We will be providing further details about any legal aspects later on.




If you have an account, you will be notified via email before any major privacy or legal changes take place.
