Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 2026 Last Updated: January 2026

Introduction

CleanView ("we," "our," or "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how CleanView handles information when you use our browser extension.

Information We Collect

CleanView does NOT collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information or browsing data. Period.

Specifically, we do not collect:

• Browsing history or visited URLs

• Personal identification information (name, email, address, etc.)

• Website content you view or interact with

• Search queries or form data

• Passwords or credentials

• Cookies or tracking identifiers

• IP addresses or location data

• Usage statistics or analytics

• Any other personal or non-personal data

How CleanView Works

CleanView operates entirely within your local browser environment:

1. When you activate CleanView on a webpage, the extension reads the page structure to identify elements like headers, sidebars, and footers

2. It temporarily hides these elements from view by modifying the page's display properties

3. All processing happens locally on your device

4. No data leaves your browser

5. When you turn CleanView off or close the tab, no trace of the session remains

Data Storage

The only information stored is:

• Local preference state: Whether CleanView is currently "on" or "off" for display purposes in the extension button. This is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API and is never transmitted anywhere.

This minimal storage allows the extension button to show the correct text ("Turn On" or "Turn Off"). No other data is stored.

Third-Party Services

CleanView does not integrate with, connect to, or share data with any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or external servers.

Permissions Explained

CleanView requests the following permissions solely for functionality:

• activeTab: Allows the extension to read and modify the visual appearance of the webpage you're currently viewing when you click the extension button

• storage: Stores your on/off toggle state locally in your browser

• scripting: Enables the extension to inject code that hides page elements

• Host permissions (<all_urls>): Allows CleanView to work on any website you choose to use it on

These permissions are used exclusively for the extension's core functionality and never for data collection.

Children's Privacy

CleanView does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since we collect no data at all, the extension is safe for users of all ages.

Your Rights

Since CleanView does not collect any personal data, there is no data to access, modify, or delete. You maintain complete control over the extension:

• You can disable it at any time

• You can uninstall it completely, which removes all local preferences

• Your browsing remains completely private

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal compliance. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Security

Because CleanView operates entirely locally and collects no data, there is no risk of data breaches, unauthorized access, or data leaks. Your information cannot be compromised because it is never accessed or stored.
