Privacy Policy - Pinterest Ads Blocker

Thank you for using Pinterest Ads Blocker ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome Extension works and handles your data.

                Core Privacy Principle: We do not collect, transmit, store, or sell any of your personal data. The extension operates entirely locally on your device.
            

1. Data Collection

We believe that you shouldn't have to sacrifice privacy for a cleaner browsing experience.

No Personal Data: We do not collect your name, email, IP address, or browsing history.
No Tracking: We do not use any third-party tracking scripts (such as Google Analytics) inside the extension.
No Remote Servers: The extension does not communicate with any external servers managed by us. All processing happens directly in your browser.

2. Permissions & Usage

To function correctly, the extension requires specific permissions from your browser. Here is why we need them:

Storage Permission (`storage`)

We use the local storage API to save your preferences directly on your device. This includes:

Whether the extension is Enabled or Disabled.
Your preferred blocking method (e.g., "Blank Space" or "Copy Similar Pin").
An anonymous counter of how many ads have been blocked (displayed in your popup dashboard).

Host Permissions (`pinterest.com`)

The extension needs access to web pages on Pinterest domains to detect and hide "Sponsored" elements (ads). The extension scans the code of the page (DOM) to find these elements and applies CSS styles to hide them. This data never leaves your browser.

3. Third-Party Services

Our extension acts as a modification layer for the Pinterest website. While using the extension, you are interacting with Pinterest. Please note that Pinterest has its own Privacy Policy, and our extension does not affect how Pinterest collects your data.

4. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date.
