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:

1. Open the Options Page (Dashboard)
2. Navigate to the Settings or Data Management tab
3. Click Export Data
4. 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:

1. Open the Options Page
2. Navigate to Settings or Data Management
3. Click on Delete All Data
4. 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:

Feature	Description
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.
