Plot is local-first. The extension uses browser storage to keep your project workspace on your device. Plot does not collect, sell, or transmit your project workspace data to a remote server. If you choose Plot Pro, checkout and license validation are handled by Polar.
Product
Plot is a Chrome extension by NoStock Studio that replaces the Chrome new tab page to help you stay on top of all your projects.
Plot's single purpose is to help you manage projects, tickets, decisions, learnings, delivery progress, and lightweight project analytics from your new tab page.
Data Handled Locally
Plot stores the workspace data you create in the extension. This may include:
- Projects and project names.
- Tickets, tasks, delivered work, decisions, and learnings.
- Notes, tags, timestamps, and project activity used for local analytics.
- Layout, view, theme, date, and workspace preferences.
- Optional local backup settings.
- Plot Pro license state, if you activate a license key, including a local installation identifier, license key, activation ID, masked license display, and validation timestamp.
This data is stored locally in your browser using
chrome.storage.local. If you choose a backup folder,
Plot may also store a browser-managed folder permission locally
in IndexedDB so it can continue writing your backup file.
Collection And Sharing
Plot does not collect your workspace data on NoStock Studio servers. Plot does not transmit your projects, tickets, notes, decisions, learnings, analytics, or backup files to a remote server.
Plot does not sell your data. Plot does not share your project workspace data with third parties. Plot does not use your data for advertising, credit decisions, data brokerage, or personalized ads.
Plot does not include third-party analytics, tracking pixels, or advertising SDKs.
Payments And Licensing
Plot Pro checkout and payment processing are handled by Polar. Plot does not receive or store your credit card number, payment method, billing address, or other payment card details.
When you activate or revalidate a Plot Pro license, Plot sends your license key, a local installation identifier, an activation label or metadata derived from that installation identifier, the stored Polar activation ID when available, and the Polar organization identifier to Polar's license API so Polar can confirm whether the license is valid for this installation.
Plot stores license status locally in chrome.storage.local.
License details are excluded from Plot's local backup JSON file.
Project workspace data is not sent to Polar.
Optional Backup
Plot includes an optional local backup feature. If you choose a
folder, Plot writes a plot-backup.json file to that
folder on your own device using the browser's File System Access
API.
The backup file is local. Plot does not upload the backup file to NoStock Studio or to any third-party service.
Chrome Permissions
Plot requests the Chrome storage permission so it can
save your projects, entries, layout, and preferences in your
browser.
Plot requests host permission for https://api.polar.sh/*
so it can activate and validate Plot Pro license keys with Polar.
Plot does not read or change the websites you visit.
Remote Code
Plot does not execute remote code. The extension runs code that is packaged with the extension.
User Control
You can delete projects, tickets, and entries inside Plot. You can also remove the extension or clear Chrome extension storage to remove locally stored Plot data from your browser profile.
If you created a local backup file, you can delete that file from the folder you selected.
Limited Use
The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Changes
If a future version of Plot adds optional sync, account, AI, analytics, or cloud features, this policy will be updated before those features are released.
