This Privacy Policy describes how aBlock handles your information when you use our ad blocking extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the security of your personal information.
Our Privacy Commitment
aBlock operates with a strict zero-data policy. We do NOT collect, store, or transmit:
- Your browsing history or websites you visit
- Your IP address or location data
- Personal information or account details
- Any data that could identify you personally
How the Extension Works
When you use aBlock:
- The extension reads the current page to identify ads and trackers
- It blocks unwanted content using locally stored filter lists
- All processing happens entirely on your device
- No data is ever sent to our servers
Information We Collect
None.
aBlock does not collect any information whatsoever. We have no servers that receive your data, no analytics tracking, and no way to identify individual users. The extension operates completely offline after installation.
How We Protect Your Privacy
- No Servers: We don't operate data collection servers. There's nowhere for your data to go.
- No User Accounts: aBlock doesn't require registration. No email, no sign-up, no tracking.
- Local Processing: All ad blocking happens on your device using local filter lists.
- Open Source: Our code is open source. Anyone can verify we don't collect data.
Third-Party Services
aBlock does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We do not share any information with third parties because we don't collect any information in the first place.
Filter Lists
aBlock uses community-maintained filter lists to block ads and trackers. These lists are downloaded to your device and updated periodically. The only network requests aBlock makes are to download updated filter lists from their public sources.
Data Retention
Since we don't collect any data, there is nothing to retain or delete. When you uninstall aBlock, all local settings and cached filter lists are automatically removed from your browser.
Children's Privacy
aBlock does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. The extension is safe for users of all ages as it collects no personal information.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal data, traditional data rights don't apply. However, you have the right to:
- Use aBlock without providing any personal information
- Review our open source code to verify our privacy claims
- Uninstall the extension at any time
- Contact us with privacy-related questions
Changes to This 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.
