At Ghost Guard, we prioritize your privacy and the protection of your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how Ghost Guard collects, uses, and safeguards the information we receive when you use our browser extension. By installing and using Ghost Guard, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
Ghost Guard is designed with privacy in mind, and we do not collect or store any personal information. Specifically, we do not collect:
- Browsing history
- Personal identifiers (such as IP addresses, names, or email addresses)
- Search queries
- Website interactions or cookies
Ghost Guard operates entirely locally on your device, meaning all processing related to ad blocking and security takes place within your browser. We do not send any browsing data to our servers or any third parties.
2. Data We Collect
Ghost Guard does not collect any personal data by default. However, we may collect anonymized, non-personal data for the purpose of improving the extension’s performance and functionality. This could include:
- Aggregated usage statistics (e.g., number of ads blocked, system performance)
- Error reports (without personal information)
- This data is entirely anonymous and cannot be used to identify or track individual users.
3. Third-Party Data Sharing
Ghost Guard does not share any personal data with third parties. Because we do not collect personal data, there is no data to share or sell. Additionally, we do not display or serve third-party ads within the Ghost Guard extension.
4. Use of Permissions
Ghost Guard requires certain permissions to function properly, such as access to website data to block ads. These permissions are used strictly for ad-blocking purposes and do not allow us to access, store, or transmit any of your personal information. The extension does not interact with content that is unrelated to ad blocking or security.
5. Customization and Control
Ghost Guard offers customization features, allowing users to manage ad-blocking filters and create whitelists for trusted websites. These settings are stored locally on your device and are not shared with us or any third party.
6. Security
We take security seriously. Ghost Guard uses Manifest Version 3, ensuring the highest level of security for browser extensions. This includes protection against malicious code and unauthorized access to your data. Our extension is regularly updated to comply with the latest security standards.
7. Data Retention
As Ghost Guard does not collect personal data, there is no personal information to retain. Any anonymous usage data collected is retained solely for performance optimization and is stored securely.
8. Children’s Privacy
Ghost Guard is not intended for use by children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete that information.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted within the Ghost Guard extension or on our official website. We encourage users to periodically review this policy for updates.
