Unredirect

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 29, 2026

This policy applies to the Unredirect app and Safari extension for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The app and extension resolve redirect links on your device, require no account, and do not upload your browsing activity.

What the app and extension collect

  • The Unredirect app and Safari extension do not collect personal information or browsing data automatically.
  • The app and extension do not include analytics or third-party tracking SDKs.
  • We do not run backend servers that receive your browsing history, resolved links, or usage activity. No browsing activity is sent to us automatically; optional feedback is described below.

What the extension does in your browser

  • While you browse, the extension checks links against redirect rules and extracts destination URLs locally on your device.
  • Built-in rules ship with the app and are shared locally with the extension; rules are not downloaded from or reported to external servers at runtime.
  • The extension does not make extra network requests to resolve links. Opening the destination page still loads that website normally in Safari.

Local storage

  • Your settings, custom rules, and local hit counts are stored on your device across the Safari extension storage and the macOS/iOS App Group shared with the host app.
  • Local hit counting is enabled by default so the app can show redirect activity, and you can turn it off or clear the counts in Settings at any time. These counts stay on your device.
  • Native app-managed preferences, custom rules, and local counters remain on your device. You can reset the counters in Settings, and app removal and local data removal follow platform controls; OS or device backups may retain copies.

Permissions

  • host_permissions: <all_urls> - required so the extension can inspect and rewrite redirect links on sites you visit.
  • storage - used to store your rule settings and local hit counts on the device.
  • webNavigation - used to detect redirect navigations when Safari permits.
  • nativeMessaging - used so the extension and host app can sync rules, settings, and local stats on your device.

Optional feedback emails

  • Nothing is sent to us automatically. If you choose Send feedback in the app, your mail client opens a draft to whtsky@gmail.com containing a blank message area and a visible English diagnostic summary (app version and build, OS version, device model, locale, and enabled/total rule count).
  • The app does not attach your browsing URLs or custom rule text. You can review, edit, or delete the diagnostic lines before sending, and if you press Send, your mail app sends your message along with the sender address and standard headers from your chosen mail account.
  • We use support emails only to reply to your request, provide support, and fix or improve Unredirect—not for advertising, marketing, or cross-app tracking.

Third parties

  • The Unredirect app and extension do not automatically share browsing or usage history with third parties. If you send optional feedback, you choose the mail client and provider used to send it, and your message may contain whatever details you include. Websites you open in Safari are governed by their own privacy policies.

Children's privacy

  • Unredirect is not directed to children under 13, and the app and extension do not automatically collect personal information from anyone.

Changes

  • If this policy changes materially, we will update the App Store release notes and this page.
