Privacy Policy

What the extension stores

Only inside your own browser:

1. Your display preferences — mode, blur strength, spotlight radius and reveal mode (Chrome storage.sync; Chrome itself may sync these to your other signed-in Chrome installations — the developer has no access). These say nothing about which sites you visit.
2. Which sites you switched the extension off for, and the areas you pick — a CSS path or a rectangle identifying what you chose to blur. Both are saved per website using Chrome storage.local, which never leaves your device and is never synced.

What it does not do

• Does not collect or read the content of your conversations, messages or pages.
• Sends no data to any server; makes no network requests.
• No analytics, telemetry, tracking, cookies or advertising.
• No account, no identifier.

Page access

On claude.ai, chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com and gemini.google.com, the extension reads page structure only to find the chat-history sidebar and draw a blur overlay on top of it. On any other site it runs only after you explicitly grant permission for that site, and you can withdraw that permission from the extension's popup at any time.

Removing your data

Removing the extension deletes everything it stored. You can also delete individual picked areas, or clear them all, from the popup.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it.
