Security
Credentials that never leave your device.
The data question deserves a straight answer. Here is exactly what moves, what stays put, and what is never kept at all.
Step by step
How a sync actually runs.
-
You are already logged in.
The extension works alongside your own logged-in session, in your own browser. It does not ask for, or receive, your passwords.
-
It reads what you saved.
Only your own saved posts move: the things you deliberately kept. Nothing else on your account is touched.
-
Posts go to your library. Credentials go nowhere.
The saved posts sync into your Locus library. Your platform credentials stay in local browser storage (chrome.storage.local) on your device and are never transmitted.
In writing
Three things we can say plainly.
Your saves, your session
The extension syncs your own saved posts using your own logged-in session. That is the whole mechanism.
Credentials never transmitted
Platform credentials live in chrome.storage.local on your device. They are never sent to Locus.
Video is transient
Video is downloaded, processed for classification, then discarded. It is never stored on our servers.
