Privacy Policy

Last Updated: Jan 1, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to PureBlock's Privacy Policy. Your privacy is critically important to us. At PureBlock, we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
  • We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights.
  • We don't store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of our services.

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our PureBlock Ad Blocker extension.

Information We Collect

The PureBlock extension is designed with privacy as a priority. We collect:

  • No Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information.
  • No Browsing History: We do not track the websites you visit or store your browsing history.
  • Local Storage Only: The only data stored is your extension preferences (like whether the ad blocker is enabled) and statistics about blocked ads. This information is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

How We Use Information

Since we don't collect personal data, we don't use your information for any purpose beyond the functionality of the extension itself. Specifically:

  • We don't use your data for marketing purposes.
  • We don't sell or rent your data to third parties.
  • We don't use your data for analytics beyond what Chrome Web Store provides about installations.

Extension Permissions

Our extension requires certain permissions to function properly:

  • Storage: To save your preferences and ad blocking statistics locally.
  • Web Request: To identify and block ad-related network requests.
  • Tabs: To apply ad blocking to your active tabs.
  • Host Permissions: To allow the extension to work on all websites you visit.

These permissions are used solely for the purpose of blocking ads and trackers, and not for collecting your data.

GDPR Compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy. Since PureBlock does not collect personal data, many GDPR requirements do not apply. However, we are committed to the principles of data protection and privacy by design.

Children's Privacy

Our extension does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

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 and updating the "Last Updated" date.
