Your data, yours.

Nothing.

Auto Blur runs entirely on your computer. There is no backend server, no analytics service, no telemetry, no error reporting tool, no A/B testing framework, no user identifier of any kind. The extension literally cannot send data anywhere because there is nowhere for it to go — we have not built a place.

Auto Blur keeps a small amount of data in your browser’s local extension storage:

• Your preferences

  Whether Auto Blur is on or off, and your blur intensity. Stored in chrome.storage.sync, which Chrome syncs across your own signed-in devices only.

• Your always-show list

  When you click “always show this” on a covered value, we do not store the value itself. We store an irreversible fingerprint of it inchrome.storage.local. Even we could not recover what you added.

• Your custom rules (Pro only)

  The regular expressions you add in settings. Stored inchrome.storage.sync. Only your regex text — no values that matched, no pages where they matched.

• Your Pro code (if activated)

  The code itself, stored in chrome.storage.sync, so the extension can check on every page load that you still have access.

None of this data ever leaves your browser. It is readable by you, synced between your own devices by Chrome, and invisible to us.

Auto Blur requests three Chrome permissions, and each one is there for a specific reason:

• "storage"

  So the extension can remember your settings and custom rules between browser restarts.

• "activeTab"

  So it can scan the currently visible page for sensitive values. This does not let us read tabs you are not actively looking at.

• "tabs"

  So Panic Mode responds when you switch tabs with the keyboard shortcut. Only the tab URL and title for routing — no contents.

Chrome itself enforces these limits. If the extension asked for anything more, Chrome would have rejected it at install.

• We do not have accounts, logins, or user identifiers.
• We do not have servers that receive your data.
• We do not have analytics, telemetry, or usage metrics.
• We do not have error reporting tools like Sentry, Bugsnag, or Rollbar.
• We do not have advertising SDKs, tracking pixels, or third-party scripts.
• We do not sell, rent, or share your data with anyone, because we have no data to share.

The extension itself does not use any third-party service. The only external service related to Auto Blur is on this website:

Data stored by the extension stays in your browser until you delete it or uninstall Auto Blur. Feedback you submit via the website lands in our email inbox and we keep it as long as we keep our other email — until we clean it out.

Since we do not collect your data, there is nothing for us to delete, export, or correct on your behalf. Everything Auto Blur knows about you is inside your own browser. You can see it, export it, or wipe it by removing the extension.

Auto Blur is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, which by extension includes children.

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be called out at install or on the next popup open, if possible.
