When you use BeyondWall, the URL you're visiting is sent to the paywall removal service you've configured (default: sem-paywall.com). This is the core functionality of the extension. Please review the privacy policy of any third-party service you choose to use.
All extension code runs locally in your browser. We use Content Security Policy (CSP) to prevent code injection attacks.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date.

This extension is open source. You can review the code to verify these claims.
