privacy policy

Last updated: March 2, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Aegis Blocker ("the Extension") handles information when you use our Chrome browser extension.

Summary

Aegis Blocker does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. All extension data is stored locally on your device and never leaves your browser.

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal information. Aegis Blocker does not collect, process, or transmit any of the following:

Personally identifiable information (name, email, address, etc.)
Browsing history or visited URLs
Search queries
IP addresses
Device identifiers
Cookies or tracking data
User behavior or usage analytics

2. Data Stored Locally

Aegis Blocker stores the following data locally on your device only using Chrome's built-in storage API:

Extension settings (filter list preferences, enable/disable state)
Whitelist of trusted domains
Custom filter rules you have added manually
Aggregate blocking statistics (counts only, no URLs stored)
Daily blocking counts for the last 30 days

This data is never transmitted to any server. It remains entirely within your browser and can be deleted at any time by uninstalling the extension.

3. Network Requests

Aegis Blocker does not make any network requests to external servers. The extension operates entirely offline after installation. It uses Chrome's declarativeNetRequest API to block ad and tracker requests at the browser engine level without sending any data externally.

4. Permissions Explained

declarativeNetRequest — Blocks ad and tracker network requests
declarativeNetRequestFeedback — Counts blocked items for statistics display

5. Third-Party Services

Aegis Blocker does not use any third-party services, SDKs, analytics tools, or external APIs. The only external resource accessed is Google's favicon service to display website icons in the popup.

6. Children's Privacy

Aegis Blocker does not collect any data from any users, including children. The extension is safe for use by people of all ages.

7. Data Deletion

You can delete all Aegis Blocker data by:
