Privacy Policy for RageBlock Chrome Extension

Effective Date: May 29, 2025

1. Introduction
Welcome to RageBlock ("we," "us," or "our"). RageBlock is a Chrome extension designed to help you filter content and improve your browsing experience on Reddit. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner.

This Privacy Policy explains:

• What personal information we collect when you use RageBlock.

• How we use, store, and share that information.

• The choices you have regarding your information.

By installing and using the RageBlock Chrome extension (the "Service"), you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide and improve our Service to you. The types of information we collect are:

a. Account Information (Collected via Google Sign-In through Supabase Auth):
When you choose to sign in to RageBlock using your Google account, we, through our authentication service provider Supabase, may collect the following personal information associated with your Google account:

• User ID: A unique identifier assigned by Supabase.
  
  

• Email Address: Your primary Google account email address.
  
  

• Name: Your full name, given name, or family name as provided by Google.
  
  

• Profile Picture: Your Google account profile picture, if available.
  
  

b. User Settings and Preferences:
To personalize your experience, we collect and store:

• Filter Preferences: Your choices about which types of content (e.g., "AI-Generated," "Ragebait," specified by filtered_tags) you want to filter from your Reddit feed.
  
  

• Display Preferences: Settings like whether to blur blocked posts (blur_posts) or hide them completely.
  These settings are stored associated with your User ID if you are signed in, allowing them to be synced across your devices. They are also cached locally in your browser's chrome.storage.local for performance.
  
  

c. Content Flagging Information:
When you flag a Reddit post using RageBlock (which requires you to be signed in):

• Flag Type: The category you assign to the flagged content (e.g., "AI-Generated Content").
  
  

• Target ID: The unique identifier of the Reddit post you flagged.
  
  

• Site: The website where the content was flagged (currently "reddit.com").
  
  

• Target Type: The type of content flagged (e.g., "post").
  
  

• Timestamp: The date and time you submitted the flag.
  
  

• User ID: Your User ID is associated with each flag you submit. This is essential for maintaining the integrity of the flagging system, tracking your flagging history, and enabling features related to your contributions.
  
  

d. Information About Your Use of the Extension (Limited Browsing Activity):

• Current Page Information (for Flagging): When you open the RageBlock popup to flag content, the extension accesses the URL and title of the currently active Reddit tab. This information is used solely to identify the specific Reddit post you intend to flag and is not stored persistently beyond this immediate use.
  
  

• Blocked Content Tracking: When content is blocked based on your filter preferences or community flags, we may record an event. This log includes the target_id of the blocked post, the site, target_type, a timestamp, and, if you are signed in, your user_id. This helps us provide statistics on blocked content.
  
  

e. Information Stored Locally on Your Device (chrome.storage.local):

• Authentication Session Tokens (supabase_session): To keep you signed in.
  
  

• User Settings Cache: A local copy of your filter and display preferences for faster access and offline availability.
  
  

• Flag Cache: Local cache of flag data for posts to improve performance when determining whether to hide or blur content.
  
  

3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:

To Provide and Maintain the Service:

• To enable content filtering based on your preferences and community flags.
  
  

• To operate the flagging system.
  
  

• To ensure the extension functions correctly.
  
  

For Authentication and Account Management:

• To create and manage your RageBlock user account.
  
  

• To authenticate you when you use the Service.
  
  

• To sync your settings across devices if you are signed in.
  
  

To Personalize Your Experience:

• To apply your chosen filter and display preferences.
  
  

For Community Moderation and Service Improvement:

• Flags you submit (associated with your User ID) contribute to a community score for content, helping to collectively identify and manage content quality. Your User ID is not directly exposed to other users, but the collective impact of flags influences what content is filtered for the community.
  
  

• To analyze flagging trends and improve the effectiveness of our filtering algorithms.
  
  

For Analytics and Statistics:

• To provide you with statistics on your lifetime flags submitted.
  
  

• To provide aggregated and anonymized statistics on the number of posts blocked by RageBlock. While individual blocked content events may be associated with your User ID in our database, publicly displayed aggregate statistics (e.g., "Lifetime Posts Blocked") are based on counts that do not expose individual user data.
  
  

• To understand how the Service is used and to make improvements.
  
  

To Communicate With You:

• To respond to your inquiries, support requests, or feedback if you contact us.
  
  

4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

With Service Providers:

• Supabase: We use Supabase for backend services, including user authentication (Google Sign-In) and database hosting (PostgreSQL). Supabase processes your Account Information, User Settings, Content Flagging Information, and Tracked Blocked Content data on our behalf. Supabase is bound by its own privacy policies and security measures. You can review Supabase's privacy policy here: https://supabase.com/privacy
  
  

For Legal Reasons:

• We may disclose your information if we are required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
  
  

• To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public, as required or permitted by law.
  
  

Aggregated or Anonymized Data:

• We may share aggregated or anonymized data (data that does not identify you personally) for research, trend analysis, or to report on the impact of the Service. For example, statistics about the most frequently flagged content types.
  
  

5. Data Storage and Security

Storage:

• Your Account Information, User Settings, Content Flagging Information, and Tracked Blocked Content data are stored in a PostgreSQL database managed by Supabase.
  
  

• Authentication tokens, cached settings, and cached flag data are stored locally in your browser's chrome.storage.local.
  
  

Security:

• We rely on Supabase's robust security measures to protect data stored on their platform, including for authentication and database operations.
  
  

• Communication between the extension and Supabase is secured using HTTPS.
  
  

• While we and our service providers strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, as no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
  
  

Data Retention:

• We retain your Personal Information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service.
  
  

• Content Flagging Information may be retained for longer periods, even if your account is deleted, to maintain the integrity of the community flagging system, but it will be disassociated from your direct identifiers where feasible or anonymized.
  
  

• We will also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
  
  

• Data stored locally in chrome.storage.local persists until it is cleared by you (e.g., by uninstalling the extension, clearing browser data, or using the "Clear Cache" feature in the extension's options for specific caches).
  
  

6. Your Data Rights and Choices

Accessing and Updating Your Information:

• You can access and update your filter and display preferences directly within the RageBlock Options page.
  
  

• For other information, such as a copy of the data associated with your account, you can contact us.
  
  

Deleting Your Information:

• You can sign out of your account at any time, which will stop the syncing of your settings and the association of new flags with your account.
  
  

• To request the deletion of your account and associated personal information from our Supabase database, please contact us at matt.gogan@pocketcity.app. We will process your request in accordance with applicable law. Please note that some data, particularly flag data, may be retained in an anonymized or aggregated form.
  
  

Managing Local Storage:

• You can clear locally cached data by using the "Clear Cache" feature in the RageBlock Options page.
  
  

• Uninstalling the extension will typically remove all locally stored data.
  
  

Opting-Out:

• You can use RageBlock without signing in. However, functionality will be limited (e.g., you won't be able to submit flags, and your settings won't be synced). Default filter settings for AI Content, Engagement Bait, and Ragebait will apply.
  
  

7. Third-Party Services
As mentioned, RageBlock relies on third-party services:

• Supabase: For authentication and database services. Review their Privacy Policy: https://supabase.com/privacy
  
  

• Google: For authentication if you choose to sign in with Google. Review Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  
  

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of these third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

8. Children's Privacy
RageBlock is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this 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. If the changes are significant, we may provide a more prominent notice (e.g., through the extension itself or by direct communication if we have your email address and you've opted into such communications).

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
