Subharvest Privacy Policy

Summary

Subharvest is a local-first Reddit research Chrome extension. The extension reads Reddit pages and Reddit JSON only after you open Subharvest and start a scrape, discovery run, project run, export, or optional Google Sheets sync.

Reddit JSON requests may use your active Reddit browser session so public or logged-in-visible threads can be fetched. Subharvest does not read, store, or export Reddit passwords, cookies, or session tokens.

The current extension build does not include a Subharvest backend account system, analytics collector, payment service, or remote database.

Data Stored Locally

• Scraped Reddit rows when you save a project or run.
• Project names, audiences, keywords, tracked mentions, and research settings.
• Run history, duplicate-tracking keys, new or seen row state, and export preferences.
• Google Sheets target settings and sync receipts when you use Sheets sync.

This data is stored in your browser through Chrome extension storage. You control saved projects and can delete project runs inside the extension.

Data Sent Outside Your Browser

CSV, TSV, JSON, and Markdown exports are created locally. Subharvest does not send those exports to Subharvest servers in the current extension build.

If you choose Google Sheets sync, Subharvest sends selected export rows to the spreadsheet you provide through the Google Sheets API. Subharvest can also read tab names from that spreadsheet and create the named target tab when you request it. Google account authorization is handled through Chrome and Google OAuth.

Permissions

Third Parties

• Reddit, for user-requested Reddit thread and subreddit JSON access.
• Google Sheets, only when you choose to validate a target, create a tab, or sync selected rows to a spreadsheet.
