Light Popup Blocker is designed with user privacy as a priority. The core principle is Local-Only Processing.
No Data Collection: The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers or to the developers.
Local Storage Only: All configuration settings (Whitelists, Blacklists, Custom Rules, and Block Statistics) are stored locally on your device using the Chrome Storage API.
No PII: No personally identifiable information (PII) like names, emails, or IP addresses is collected.
No Tracking: The extension uses no third-party analytics or tracking services.
Permissions: Permissions like tabs, scripting, and <all_urls> are requested only to enable the core function of blocking popups and injecting the necessary interface scripts on the web pages you visit.

Effective Date: December 4, 2025
Light Popup Blocker ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome extension collects, uses, and safeguards your information. We believe in transparency and user control, which is why Light Popup Blocker does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All processing happens locally on your device.
1. Local Data Processing
Light Popup Blocker operates entirely on your local device. It analyzes web pages you visit to identify and block intrusive popups, overlays, and redirect attempts. This analysis is performed in real-time within your browser and no browsing history or page content is sent to us or any third parties.
2. User Settings and Preferences
The extension stores your preferences locally using the Chrome Storage API (chrome.storage.local and chrome.storage.sync). This data includes:
Whitelisted Domains: Websites you have chosen to allow popups on.
Blacklisted Domains: Websites you have chosen to always block.
Custom Blocking Rules: CSS selectors for elements you have manually blocked using the Element Picker.
Configuration Settings: Your choices for blocking modes (e.g., Overlay Only, Focus Mode), notification preferences, and other toggle states.
Statistics: Local counters for the number of blocked popups and redirects.
If you enable "Browser Sync," these settings are synced across your signed-in Chrome devices using Google's secure synchronization infrastructure. We do not have access to this data.
3. No Personal Identification Information (PII)
We do not collect names, email addresses, IP addresses, or any other personally identifiable information.
4. No Tracking or Analytics
We do not use any third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.) to track your usage of the extension. We do not track your browsing history.
Light Popup Blocker requires specific permissions to function correctly. Here is why we need them:
storage: To save your settings, whitelist, blacklist, and statistics locally on your device.
tabs: To detect tab updates and inject blocking scripts into web pages.
notifications: To notify you when a popup has been blocked (unless Focus Mode is enabled).
contextMenus: To add the "Block this element" option to your right-click menu.
scripting: To inject the Element Picker interface and blocking rules into web pages.
host_permissions (<all_urls>): To allow the extension to run on all websites you visit to block popups effectively.
Since all data is stored locally on your device or synced via your personal Google account (if enabled), your data is as secure as your device and your Google account. We recommend keeping your browser and operating system updated and using strong passwords.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the date at the top of this policy.
