Overspill
Privacy Policy
Overspill does not collect, store, share or sell any personal data. This page explains exactly what the app and its Safari extension do, so you can check for yourself.
The short version
- No account, no sign-in.
- No analytics, advertising, tracking or third-party code.
- No network requests. Nothing leaves your device.
- The only things Overspill remembers are whether the overlay is switched on and a small setup-progress record, both kept on your device.
What the Safari extension does
Overspill is a Safari Web Extension for the iPhone Duo's external display. When you switch it on, it changes the layout of the page you are viewing: it widens the page into the empty strip Safari leaves, and it moves small menu buttons away from the camera. This happens entirely inside Safari, on your device.
To do that, Safari asks you to let Overspill run on websites. The extension uses that permission only to adjust how a page is laid out. It does not read, copy, store or transmit the text, images, forms, passwords, cookies, browsing history or addresses of the pages you visit.
The extension also uses Safari's tabs permission, but only to tell your open tabs when you switch the overlay on or off. It does not record which tabs or sites you open.
What is stored
Two small things are kept on your device, and nowhere else:
- Whether the overlay is switched on, saved in the extension's local storage so that your choice is remembered.
- A setup-progress record shared between the app and its extension on the same device: whether the overlay is on, when the extension last ran on a web page, and when you first switched the overlay on. The app's setup guide uses it to tick off the steps you have really done. It never includes which websites you visited, page content, or anything that identifies you.
Neither is sent anywhere, and both are removed if you delete the app.
What the app does
The app shows a short interactive guide that runs entirely on your device. It has two buttons: Open Settings, which opens this app's page in the Settings app, and Open Safari, which opens a public website (wikipedia.org) in Safari so you can try the extension. Once that website opens, you are in Safari, and that website's own privacy policy applies, not this one.
Data sharing and children
Because Overspill collects no data, there is nothing to share with advertisers, data brokers, analytics providers or anyone else. The app is not directed at children and collects no information from anyone, including children.
Your control
You can switch the extension off at any time from Safari's page menu, restrict which websites it can run on, or turn it off completely in Settings › Apps › Safari › Extensions. Deleting the app removes the extension and its stored setting.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with an updated date. Because the app collects no data, any change will be announced in the App Store release notes if it affects you.
