Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2024

Our Privacy Commitment

At OBlock, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Chrome extension.

Information We Don't Collect

• We do not collect your browsing history
• We do not track your personal information
• We do not store your search queries
• We do not collect your IP address
• We do not use cookies or tracking pixels

How OBlock Works

OBlock operates entirely locally on your device. The extension:

• Uses local filter lists to block ads and trackers
• Processes all filtering decisions on your device
• Does not send any data to external servers
• Updates filter lists automatically for better protection

Filter List Updates

To maintain effective ad blocking, OBlock periodically downloads updated filter lists from trusted sources like EasyList. These updates contain no personal information and help improve blocking effectiveness against new ads and trackers.

Permissions Explained

OBlock requires certain Chrome permissions to function effectively:

• Read and change all your data on websites: Required to block ads and trackers on web pages
• Read your browsing history: Only used locally to apply filters, never stored or transmitted
• Manage your downloads: Used to block malicious downloads and tracking pixels

Third-Party Services

OBlock 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 to share.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or OBlock's privacy practices, please contact us through the Chrome Web Store or our support channels.
