Safety and privacy
Your token and exported data belong on your machine.
PluralBridge is designed around local export and user-controlled preservation. Tokens, JSON files, notes, avatars, and database files should be treated as private data.
Core safety boundary
PluralBridge does not ask users to send their Simply Plural API token to this website. PluralBridge does not ask users to upload exported JSON files, notes, avatars, or database files to this website. The current export workflow is intended to run locally on the user’s machine.
Token handling
- Create the Simply Plural API token from inside your own Simply Plural account.
- Use the token only with the local export scripts.
- Do not paste the token into public posts, screenshots, issue reports, chat messages, or commits.
- Do not store the token in the repository.
- Delete or rotate the token when you no longer need it.
Exported data handling
- Assume exported JSON files may contain private System information.
- Assume notes and avatars may contain sensitive personal material.
- Back up exports somewhere private and durable.
- Do not publish raw exports unless you have intentionally redacted them.
- Use synthetic or redacted fixtures when reporting bugs or contributing tests.
Independence
PluralBridge is an independent preservation project by Needs of the Many. It is not affiliated with Simply Plural or Apparyllis. The project uses public API behavior and user-created tokens for export; it does not rely on reverse engineering, decompiling, copying private code, or copying Simply Plural branding.
