Privacy Policy for Domain Based Extension Blocker Last Updated: 2026-01-02

1. Introduction This Privacy Policy explains how Domain Based Extension Blocker ("we", "us", or "the extension") handles your data. We are committed to protecting your privacy. The extension is designed to function entirely locally on your device without sending any user data to external servers.

2. Data Collection and Usage We do not collect, store, share, or sell any of your personal data.

No Analytics: We do not use third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics) to track your usage.

No Remote Servers: The extension does not communicate with any external server. All processing happens within your browser.

3. Permissions and Technical Implementation To function correctly, the extension requires specific permissions. Here is an explanation of why each permission is needed and how it is used:

tabs Permission:

Why: The extension needs to read the URL of the currently active tab.

Usage: This URL is checked locally against the blacklist of domains you created. This check happens instantly on your device; your browsing history is never stored or transmitted.

management Permission:

Why: The core feature of this extension is to automatically enable or disable other installed extensions based on your settings.

Usage: The extension reads the list of your installed extensions (to display them in the settings popup) and toggles their "enabled" status on or off. It does not modify, delete, or interact with the internal data of other extensions.

storage Permission:

Why: To save your preferences.

Usage: Your blacklist domains and the list of selected extensions are saved to your browser's local storage area (chrome.storage.local). This data stays on your machine.

4. Data Retention Your settings (blacklist and extension selection) are stored locally in your browser. If you uninstall the extension, this data is automatically and permanently deleted by the browser.

5. Changes to This Policy We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the extension's functionality or regulatory requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page.
