# Privacy Policy for Simple Ad Blocker
Last updated: `2026-05-31`
Simple Ad Blocker is designed to block ads, popups, trackers, and redirect behavior locally inside the user's browser.
## What data the extension handles
The extension may inspect page URLs, page structure, and page elements locally in the browser in order to:
- apply ad and tracker blocking rules
- detect popup overlays
- reduce redirect-tab behavior on problem pages
This processing happens locally on the user's device.
## What data we collect
Simple Ad Blocker does not collect personal data on a remote server.
Simple Ad Blocker does not transmit browsing history, page contents, account information, health information, financial information, authentication information, personal communications, location, or personally identifying information to us.
The extension stores only a small local preference in the browser:
- whether the extension is enabled or disabled
This preference is stored using the browser's local extension storage.
## What data we share
We do not sell user data.
We do not transfer user data to third parties.
We do not use user data for purposes unrelated to the extension's single purpose.
## How the extension works
The extension uses:
- declarative network request rules to block known ad and tracker requests
- local content scripts to hide popup overlays and reduce redirect behavior
- local browser storage to remember whether protection is on or off
## Data retention
The extension keeps only the local enabled/disabled preference unless the user removes the extension or clears extension storage.
## Security
The extension is designed to operate locally and does not rely on a remote analytics or telemetry service.
