Effective Date: December 9, 2025
Score Shield ("we", "our", or "us") provides a browser extension designed to prevent sports spoilers by blurring content on specific websites. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information.
We do not collect, transmit, or sell your personal data.
The Score Shield extension operates entirely client-side (locally on your device).
Local Preferences: The specific teams you choose to block and your extension settings (On/Off status) are stored locally on your device using the Chrome Storage API (chrome.storage.local). This data never leaves your browser and is not accessible to us or any third parties.
No Analytics: We do not track your browsing history, clicks, or usage patterns. We do not use Google Analytics or any other telemetry services within the extension.
To function correctly, Score Shield requires specific permissions:
Storage: Used solely to save your "Blocked Teams" list and preferences so they persist between browser sessions.
Host Permissions (*.espn.com): The extension requires access to read and modify the website content on ESPN.com. This access is used strictly to identify the text of teams you have blocked and apply a visual blur filter to those specific elements. We do not read or store any other data from the websites you visit.
The extension contains a link to "Buy Me a Coffee." Clicking this link opens a third-party website in a new tab. This external site is not governed by this Privacy Policy, and we encourage you to review their privacy practices.
Because we do not collect your data, we do not have a data retention policy. Your local preferences remain on your device until you manually remove the extension or clear your browser's local data.
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.
