Our Commitment to Privacy
At AdBlocker, we believe that your right to privacy is fundamental. Our ad-blocking extension is designed with a "privacy-first" approach, ensuring that your browsing experience remains secure and private. This privacy policy explains how we handle (and mostly, how we don't handle) your information.
Information We Don't Collect
We believe in minimal data collection. Our extension:
- Does NOT track your browsing history
- Does NOT collect personal information
- Does NOT store your IP address
- Does NOT create user profiles
- Does NOT share any data with third parties
Limited Technical Data Collection
The only information our extension processes is:
- Website URLs: Processed locally on your device to match against our filter lists. These URLs are never stored or transmitted to our servers.
- Filter List Updates: When checking for updates to our blocking rules, your browser connects to our servers. During this process, we only log:
- Time of update request
- Version number of the extension
- Basic browser type (to serve the correct filter list)
This minimal technical data is automatically anonymized and used solely to maintain and improve our service.
Local Storage
AdBlocker stores the following information locally on your device:
- Your ad-blocking preferences and settings
- Cached copies of filter lists
- Any custom rules you create
This data never leaves your device and is only accessible by the extension.
Security Measures
To protect your privacy, we:
- Use HTTPS for all communications with our servers
- Implement strict Content Security Policies
- Regularly audit our code for potential privacy issues
- Keep our filter lists updated to protect against new threats
Compliance
Our privacy practices comply with:
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
- ePrivacy Directive
- Other applicable privacy laws and regulations
