Redirect Guard Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 1, 2026
Redirect Guard helps you control unwanted website redirects and popup tabs using domains you choose to protect, block, or allow.
Information handled
Redirect Guard processes the following information locally on your device:
Website addresses: The current tab’s URL, the source tab’s URL, and the destination of website-created tabs, as needed to display the current domain and apply your protection rules.
Navigation events: Events indicating that a website has created a new tab, used to identify and close untrusted popups.
Your settings: Your protection on/off setting and your Protected, Blacklist, and Allowed domain lists.
The extension does not maintain a browsing-history log. Domains you add to its lists are saved as settings.
How information is used
Information is used only to provide the extension’s features: display the current website, manage your domain lists, enforce blocking rules, close untrusted popup tabs, and remember your preferences.
Redirect Guard does not read page contents, passwords, payment information, personal communications, or precise location. It does not track keystrokes, mouse movements, or scrolling.
Storage and sharing
Settings are stored locally using your browser’s extension storage. Redirect Guard does not transmit the information it handles to the developer or external servers.
The extension contains no analytics, advertising trackers, or remote executable code. It does not sell, rent, or share user information with third parties or use it for advertising, creditworthiness, or lending decisions.
Your controls
You can view and remove saved domains through the extension menu. The on/off switch pauses blocking and popup closing while preserving your settings.
Removing a domain deletes that entry from the saved list. Uninstalling the extension removes its local extension settings through the browser.
Limited use
Redirect Guard’s use of information complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Changes to this policy
This policy will be updated if the extension’s data practices change. The effective date will identify the latest revision.
