Privacy Policy

1. Overview

YT & Web AdBlock ("the Extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Chrome browser extension.

We do not collect, store, or transmit any user data. All extension functionality operates locally in your browser.

2. Local Storage

The Extension uses Chrome's local storage API to save your preferences, including:

• Ad Blocking Settings: Your preferences for YouTube ad blocking and website ad blocking
• Extension Configuration: Settings to maintain your extension preferences

This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to any server or third party. It never leaves your computer.

3. Ad Blocking Functionality

The Extension blocks advertisements by:

• Using Chrome's declarativeNetRequest API to block network requests to known ad servers
• Applying CSS rules to hide ad elements on web pages
• Analyzing page content locally to identify and block advertisements

All ad blocking occurs locally in your browser. No information about blocked ads, visited websites, or browsing patterns is collected or transmitted.

4. Permissions Required

The Extension requires the following Chrome permissions to function:

• tabs: To apply ad blocking settings across open tabs
• storage: To save your ad blocking preferences locally
• declarativeNetRequest / declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess: To block advertisements on websites
• webNavigation: To detect page navigation and keep ad blocking rules in sync
• Host permissions: Required for the domains where ad blocking is applied

These permissions are used only to provide the Extension's functionality. They are not used to collect, track, or transmit any data.

5. Third-Party Services

The Extension does not integrate with any third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or data collection services. The Extension operates completely independently.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, share, or transfer any user data to third parties. Since we do not collect any data, there is no data to share.

7. Children's Privacy

The Extension does not knowingly collect information from children. Since we do not collect any data, this applies to all users regardless of age.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

9. Your Rights

Since the Extension does not collect any user data, there is no data stored that you need to access, modify, or delete. All your preferences are stored locally on your device and can be cleared at any time by uninstalling the Extension.
