Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Short version

This extension collects no personal data, stores nothing, and tracks nothing. It only reads publicly available information from Reddit's search index and displays it in your browser.

What this extension does

Profile Unhider is a Chrome extension that surfaces publicly indexed posts and comments for Reddit users who have set their profile to hidden. It does this by querying Reddit's public search API, which indexes content posted in public subreddits.

Data we collect

We collect absolutely nothing. Specifically:

How it works

When you visit a Reddit profile set to hidden, the extension makes direct requests from your browser to Reddit's public search API (reddit.com/search.json). Results are displayed directly in your browser. No data passes through any third-party server.

Data source

All content displayed by this extension comes from Reddit's own public search index. Only content Reddit has already made publicly searchable is shown. This extension does not access, store, or redistribute any private or non-public information.

Third party services

The extension communicates only with Reddit's public API endpoints. No other third-party services, SDKs, or analytics tools are used.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will be updated. Continued use of the extension constitutes acceptance of any updates.
