PRIVACY POLICY
PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: June 4, 2026
Welcome to AI Overviews Blocker for Safari. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application / browser extension, Blocking AI Overviews (the "App").
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access or use the App.
We are steadfastly committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring complete transparency regarding how our Service operates. The core philosophy behind "AI Overviews Blocker for Safari" is strict data minimization and user autonomy.
No Data Collection or Transmission We do not collect, harvest, store, transmit, or process any personal data, personally identifiable information (PII), or non-personal data from our users. Specifically, this means we have absolutely no access to, nor do we monitor:
Your browsing history, visited URLs, or page engagement metrics.
Your search engine queries, keywords, or search habits.
Your IP address, geographical location data, or device identifiers.
Your keystrokes, form inputs, or any other active interactions within your browser.
Local Processing Only To fulfill its purpose of identifying and hiding AI-generated overviews on search engine result pages, the Service operates strictly and entirely on your local device. The content blocking rules and scripts are executed directly within your Safari browser environment. No data is ever routed through, sent to, or stored on our servers, nor is any information shared with third-party servers, APIs, advertising networks, or analytics providers.
Browser Permissions While the Service requires certain standard browser permissions to function (such as the ability to read and modify web page content on specific search engine domains to hide the AI overviews), these permissions are utilized exclusively for the localized execution of the extension's core functionality. We do not leverage these permissions to access, extract, or externalize any user data. Your browsing experience remains private, and you retain full control over your information at all times.
Our Service is specifically engineered to operate entirely without monitoring, recording, or profiling your digital footprint. As such, we strictly prohibit the use of any tracking mechanisms within the extension.
Absence of Cookies and Trackers: We do not deploy cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, device fingerprinting, or any equivalent tracking technologies to monitor your browsing activity, remember your web preferences, or analyze your usage patterns.
No Third-Party Analytics: We do not integrate third-party analytics software or telemetry services into the extension. Your interactions with the extension, as well as your general web navigation, remain completely unmonitored by us and any external entities.
Zero Behavioral Profiling: Because we do not track your activity, we do not compile behavioral profiles, nor do we facilitate cross-site tracking. The extension's sole focus is locally executing its core blocking functionality without generating or interacting with tracking data.
Our policy regarding data sharing is straightforward and absolute: because we do not collect, process, or store any personal or browsing data, there is absolutely no user information available to share, sell, rent, or otherwise disclose.
No Third-Party Sharing: We do not partner with, sell data to, or share information with advertising networks, marketing agencies, data brokers, or third-party service providers.
No Business Transfers of Data: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale involving the Service, no user data would be transferred because no such data exists within our infrastructure or records.
Legal Compliance: While we are committed to complying with lawful requests from public authorities, our zero-data collection architecture means we do not possess any user records, browsing logs, or personal identifiers that could be handed over in response to a subpoena or legal inquiry.
No Monetization of User Data: We do not monetize your privacy. Our Service is built on the fundamental principle that your digital activity is your own, and we have no mechanisms or intentions in place to profit from your personal information.
The security and integrity of your digital footprint are fundamental to the operation of our Service. We approach data security through the structural framework of Security by Design, adhering to the principle that the most secure data is the data that is never collected in the first place.
Mitigation of Centralized Risks: Because the Service does not harvest, transmit, or retain any personal information, browsing metrics, or search queries, there is no centralized repository, cloud server, or database susceptible to external cyberattacks, malicious data breaches, or unauthorized third-party intervention.
Adherence to Platform Sandboxing: The extension runs entirely within the native, secure sandbox environments managed by Apple’s macOS, iOS, and iPadOS ecosystems. This architecture guarantees that the extension’s localized content-blocking rules operate in isolation, preventing cross-contamination or vulnerabilities from external system processes.
User Environment Integrity: While our Service is built to eliminate telemetry and external privacy risks, the absolute safety of your local browsing experience depends heavily on your hardware environment. We recommend that users maintain optimal device hygiene by installing timely Safari and operating system updates, and enforcing device-level security controls (such as FileVault, biometrics, or passcodes).
Protecting the privacy of the most vulnerable digital users is a fundamental priority. Our Service is not directed toward, marketed to, or intentionally designed for individuals under the age of 18 ("Children").
Inherent Compliance with Global Standards: In accordance with the core tenets of major international privacy regulations—including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—we do not knowingly solicit, harvest, or maintain personal information from minors.
Absolute Safeguards via Local Architecture: Because the operational framework of the extension processes all content-blocking tasks directly within the user’s local browser sandbox, there is no technical mechanism through which children’s browsing data, search analytics, or behavioral histories could be compiled or transmitted to external servers.
Guidance for Parents and Guardians: If you are a parent or legal guardian and have questions regarding your child’s interaction with the extension, please be assured that their web navigation remains completely invisible to us. If you believe we have inadvertently handled any inquiries requiring further clarification, please contact us using the information detailed below.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
