Privacy Policy

For BlockGuard Chrome Extension

Effective Date: April 19, 2025

BlockGuard ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how BlockGuard, a Chrome extension designed to block adult content and distracting websites, collects, uses, and safeguards your information.

1. Information We Collect

BlockGuard is designed to minimize data collection. We only collect the following information:

  • Email Address: Collected if you provide it for account or support purposes.
  • User-Entered Data: URLs and keywords you add to your personal block list or whitelist.

No other personal or sensitive data is collected or stored. We do not access your browsing history, search queries, or any other personal information beyond what you explicitly provide for the extension‘s functionality.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Email Address: Used solely for account management or to respond to your support requests.
  • Block/Allow Lists: Stored to enable your personalized blocking and whitelisting preferences.

We do not use your information for advertising, analytics, or any secondary purposes.

3. Data Storage and Security

All user data (email, block/allow lists) is stored securely, either locally on your device using Chrome‘s Storage API or, if applicable, on our secure servers over HTTPS.

We do not store or transmit any data from Incognito mode unless required for extension settings, in compliance with Chrome‘s privacy requirements.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

  • We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties.
  • Data is only used to provide the core features of BlockGuard.
  • We will only disclose your information if required by law.

5. User Control and Access

You can view, edit, or delete your block and allow lists at any time through the extension‘s interface.

If you wish to remove your email or all stored data, contact us at contact.blockguard@gmail.com and we will promptly delete your information.

6. Children's Privacy

BlockGuard is intended for users of all ages, including families. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be communicated via the extension or our website. Continued use of BlockGuard after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.

8. Contact Us

Summary

BlockGuard only collects the minimum information necessary (email and block/allow lists), never sells or shares your data, and is fully compliant with Google Chrome Web Store privacy requirements. Your privacy and security are our top priorities.
