Glide Privacy Policy

Glide – Mouse Gestures · Last updated: November 6, 2026

In short: Glide does not collect, transmit, sell or share any personal data.

What is stored

Glide saves only its own settings: the action and color for each direction, sensitivity, gesture button, visual mode, theme, language, and the list of sites where you turned gestures off.

These are kept with chrome.storage.sync, which Chrome stores in your browser and, if you use Chrome sync, in your own Google account. Svart Labs has no access to them.

What is not done

  • No analytics, tracking or telemetry.
  • No network requests to any server.
  • No reading of page content, browsing history, form data or passwords.
  • No remote code: everything the extension runs is included in the package.
  • No sale or transfer of data to third parties, and no use of data for advertising or creditworthiness.

Permissions

  • storage: to save your settings.
  • sessions: only for the optional “Reopen Closed Tab” action, which restores your most recently closed tab.
  • Access to all sites: the gesture script has to run on every page to detect mouse gestures. It only listens to mouse events and never reads or sends page content.

Removing your data

Uninstalling Glide removes its settings from your browser. Settings synced to your Google account can be cleared from Chrome’s sync settings.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with an updated date.
