Managing Your Data
LiFi gives you complete ownership and control over your browsing data. All collected data is stored locally on your device and is never shared externally unless you explicitly choose to do so. This page walks you through how to access, export, delete, and protect your data while using LiFi.
How to Export Your Data
LiFi provides a built-in option to export your full data set for backup, analysis, or personal use.
Steps to Export:
Open the Options Page (Dashboard)
Navigate to the Settings or Data Management tab
Click Export Data
Your data will be downloaded as a JSON file
What the Export Includes:
Full browsing history logs
Engagement and session tracking
Search query records
Interaction data (clicks, scrolls, forms)
Cookie activity logs
AI-generated insights (if enabled)
Note: The JSON format allows you to import your data into other tools or review it with technical applications if desired.
How to Delete Your Data Completely
You can erase all collected data at any time. This action is immediate and irreversible.
Steps to Delete:
Open the Options Page
Navigate to Settings or Data Management
Click on Delete All Data
Confirm the action in the prompt
Once deleted, all tracking logs, summaries, and AI insights are permanently removed from your local device storage.
When and Why to Reset LiFi
Resetting LiFi means clearing all stored data and returning the extension to its original state.
When You Might Reset:
If you want to start fresh with new behavior patterns
If you experience data corruption or irregular analytics
Before switching users on the same browser profile
Resetting will also clear preferences and temporary files, but will not uninstall the extension.
Where Your Data Is Stored and How It Is Protected
LiFi uses Chrome's Extension Storage API to store your data locally on your device. This storage is isolated from websites, apps, and even other extensions.
Storage Features:
Local-only storage
Data stays on your device and is never auto-synced
Isolated from websites
No site can access LiFi’s storage
Encrypted at rest
Chrome provides secure handling of extension data
Access-controlled
Only LiFi’s scripts can access the stored data
There is no cloud backup or remote access built into the extension. Even when AI analysis is used, only anonymized summaries are sent for processing if you enable it.
Understanding Local-Only Storage
LiFi is designed with a privacy-first architecture. This means all of your browsing data — from time spent on websites to AI summaries — is stored only on your local machine.
Key Benefits:
Full visibility and control over your own data
No risk of third-party access unless you opt in
GDPR-friendly and compliant with personal data rights
Works completely offline with no dependency on internet connectivity
If you ever choose to disable LiFi or uninstall it, all stored data is automatically removed unless you export it beforehand.
