Blockie is a Chrome extension that blocks ads on websites and skips audio ads on the Spotify web player (`open.spotify.com`).
## Data we collect
Blockie does not collect personal information, browsing history, account data, or analytics for transmission to us.
On your device only, using Chrome’s chrome.storage.local, Blockie stores:
- Whether Web Ads blocking is on or off
- Whether Spotify Ads skipping is on or off
This data stays on your device. We do not operate a backend that receives this information in the current version of Blockie.
## How the extension works
- Web ad blocking uses Declarative Net Request filter lists packaged with the extension to block or redirect ad and tracker requests in the browser.
- Spotify ad skipping runs only on open.spotify.com to detect audio ads in the web player and skip them. It does not collect your Spotify account information or send page content to us.
## Sharing and selling
We do not sell user data. We do not share user data with third parties for advertising or analytics in this version.
## Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date above and the policy page URL linked from the Chrome Web Store listing.
