Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 2025
1. Introduction
AdShield (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data while providing an ad-free and privacy-focused browsing experience through our Chrome extension.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information. The extension operates locally on your device and does not send any data to external servers.
3. How We Use Permissions
Web Request Permission (webRequest)
The extension requires the webRequest permission to monitor network requests made by your browser. This is used solely to detect and block requests to advertising and tracking domains. No request data is stored or shared.
Web Request Blocking Permission (webRequestBlocking)
The webRequestBlocking permission allows us to prevent network requests from reaching known ad and tracker domains. This improves your browsing experience by eliminating intrusive ads and unwanted tracking.
Host Permissions
We request host permissions for a predefined list of advertising and tracking domains. The extension only interacts with these specified sites to block unwanted content and does not monitor or modify requests to other domains.
4. Data Storage & Sharing
• This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any browsing data.
• No logs, history, or request details are saved.
• We do not share data with third parties, advertisers, or analytics providers.
5. Security
Since the extension does not collect or transmit data, there are no risks of data breaches or leaks. All filtering happens locally within your browser.
6. Third-Party Links
Our extension does not interact with third-party websites beyond blocking requests to the specified ad and tracking domains.
7. User Control & Consent
Since the extension does not collect user data, no explicit user consent is required. However, users can disable or uninstall the extension at any time via Chrome’s extension settings.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be reflected in the extension listing and documentation. Continued use of the extension after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
