Privacy Policy for X Country Filter (Blur)

Last updated: 27 March 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how the browser extension “X Country Filter (Blur)” handles data. The extension is published by Jonas Eriksen (“I”, “me”).

X Country Filter (Blur) is a Chrome extension that allows users to blur or hide posts on X (formerly Twitter) based on the country or region associated with an account.

1. Overview

• I do not collect, store, sell, or share any personally identifiable information (PII) about you.
  
  

• All processing happens locally in your browser.
  
  

• The extension only uses the minimum technical data required to provide its core functionality: filtering content on X based on your own settings.
  
  

2. What data the extension processes

The extension processes the following data locally on your device:

1. Website content from X (x.com / twitter.com)
   
   

   • Public tweet content, usernames, and location text are temporarily read in your browser so the extension can decide whether to blur or hide a post according to your filter list.
     
     

   • This content is not sent to me or any third party.
     
     

2. Extension settings
   Stored using Chrome’s storage API:
   
   

   • The list of countries/regions/keywords you choose to block
     
     

   • Whether posts should be blurred or fully removed
     
     

   • Whether debug logs in the console are enabled
     
     

These settings are stored only in your own browser and are not transmitted to any external server.

3. What I do not collect

I do not collect or store:

• Your name, email, address or other direct identifiers
  
  

• Your X login data or passwords
  
  

• Your browsing history outside x.com / twitter.com
  
  

• Any private messages, DMs or non-public data
  
  

• Payment or financial information
  
  

• Health data or other sensitive personal information
  
  

The extension does not use analytics, tracking scripts, or third-party advertising.

4. Data sharing and selling

• I do not sell, rent, or trade any user data.
  
  

• I do not share any user data with third parties.
  
  

• All processing happens locally, and there is no backend server for this extension.
  
  

5. Permissions

The extension requests the following permissions:

• storage – to save your filter settings (which countries/regions to block and how to handle posts).
  
  

• Host permissions for https://x.com/* and https://twitter.com/* – to read public content on X in order to blur or hide posts according to your settings.
  
  

These permissions are used only to provide the single purpose of the extension: filtering content by country/region on X.

6. Children’s privacy

This extension is not designed for or targeted at children. It simply modifies how public content on X is displayed in your own browser. I do not knowingly collect any information from children.

7. Changes to this Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If I make changes, I will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. The latest version will always be available at this URL.
