Pappus Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Solnk ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in Pappus, our browser extension. Pappus lets you write your profile details once and update them on the social platforms you choose. It covers the Pappus extension only. Use of the Solnk website and service is covered by the Solnk Privacy Policy.

Summary

  • Pappus has no server and no user accounts. We do not collect, receive or store any of your data.
  • Everything Pappus keeps stays in your own browser.
  • Pappus never reads your passwords or cookies and does not track your browsing.
  • Pappus only works on the platforms you choose, and only after you review and confirm each change.

1. Information Pappus Stores in Your Browser

Pappus saves the following on your device using the browser's extension storage:

  • Profile drafts: the name, bio, website, location, headline and other profile text you write in Pappus, including per-platform adjustments.
  • Preferences: settings such as your selected platforms, account hints and interface language.
  • Update history: a record of the updates you confirmed, with their results, so you can review what was changed.
  • Temporary task state: short-lived information needed while an update is in progress. It is kept in session storage and is cleared when the browser closes.

This information is never sent to us or to any third party.

2. Information Pappus Reads on Platform Pages

When you start a review, Pappus opens the profile edit page of each platform you selected (X, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok or YouTube Studio) and reads:

  • the profile values currently shown on that page, so it can show you a before-and-after comparison; and
  • the identifier of the account you are signed in to, so it can confirm it is updating the right account.

After you confirm, Pappus fills in the values you approved, saves them using the platform's own save button, and reloads the page to check the result. Pappus does not read your messages, posts, followers, contacts, payment information, passwords or cookies.

All of this happens inside your browser. The data you submit goes directly from your browser to the platform you chose, in the same way as if you edited the profile yourself, and is then handled under that platform's own privacy policy.

3. Permissions

  • Storage: to keep the drafts, preferences and history described above on your device.
  • Scripting: to read and fill in the profile fields on the platform edit pages you chose.
  • Side panel: to show the Pappus editor in the browser's side panel.
  • Website access for x.com, instagram.com, linkedin.com, tiktok.com and studio.youtube.com: requested separately, only when you choose that platform. You can remove this access at any time from your browser's extension settings.

Pappus does not load or run code from remote servers. All of its code is included in the extension package.

4. What We Do Not Do

  • We do not sell, rent or share your data. We never receive it in the first place.
  • We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools in the extension.
  • We do not use your data for any purpose other than updating your profiles as you direct, and never to determine creditworthiness or for lending.

The use of information by Pappus complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

5. Deleting Your Data

  • You can clear your update history from the History view in Pappus.
  • You can edit or empty your drafts in Pappus at any time.
  • Uninstalling Pappus removes all data it stored in your browser.

Because we hold no copy of your data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.

6. Links to Solnk

Pappus contains links to solnk.com. A link opens only when you click it. Once you visit the Solnk website, the Solnk Privacy Policy applies.

7. Children

Pappus is not intended for children under 13, or under the minimum age required by the platforms it works with.

8. Changes to This Policy

If we change how Pappus handles information, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date. Material changes will also be described in the extension's release notes.
