Batchd — Privacy Policy

Effective: 2026-07-01.

What Batchd is

Batchd is a free, open-source Chrome extension that helps you bulk-delete your own likes and replies on x.com and twitter.com. When you click Start in the floating panel, it clicks the existing delete buttons on your behalf so you don't have to do it one-by-one.

Source code, issue tracker, and release notes live at github.com/11sid11/Batchd.

What data Batchd touches

Batchd reads your currently-viewed page in memory only — to find the delete buttons for your likes and replies. The following Chrome Web Store data categories apply:

• Website content — the DOM is read transiently to locate delete buttons. Nothing is copied out, stored long-term, or transmitted.
• User activity — clicks are dispatched at your explicit request when you press Start. No clicks happen without your action, and clicks stop the moment you press Stop or close the tab.
• Personal communications — your own replies on x.com are read in memory to find the delete button attached to each one. Nothing is copied out.

What Batchd does not do

• It does not collect, log, or transmit any data off your device. There is no server, no analytics, no telemetry, no error reporter.
• It does not embed or fetch any remote code, scripts, or fonts.
• It does not request your X / Twitter password, session token, email, or any credential.
• It does not sell, share, or transfer anything to any third party.

Local storage (chrome.storage.local)

Batchd persists two pieces of in-progress state across tab refreshes — the current deletion count and the most-recent undo target — so that a refresh doesn't lose your session. This data:

• Stays on your device.
• Is never read by anything except the running extension.
• Is cleared automatically when you uninstall the extension.

Permissions, explained

Batchd declares only what it needs:

• "storage" — to save in-progress state in chrome.storage.local.
• "content_scripts.matches" = *://x.com/* and *://twitter.com/* — to inject the floating panel into the pages where it works. No host_permissions are requested.

No service worker, no popup, no web_accessible_resources, no externally_connectable.

Third parties

None. Batchd makes no network requests of any kind.

Children

Batchd is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly process data from them.

Changes to this policy

This policy is updated at this URL as needed. Material changes appear in the project's GitHub release notes alongside the extension version that introduced them.
