Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 21, 2024

At Advanced Ad Blocker, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your online experience remains secure. This Privacy Policy outlines in detail how we handle any data related to your use of our browser extension, as well as the steps we take to ensure your personal information remains private.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We want to emphasize that Advanced Ad Blocker does not collect, store, or share any of your personal data. This includes your browsing history, personal identifiers, or any other information that could be used to identify you. Our extension operates locally on your device, meaning all processes are confined to your system, ensuring your privacy is fully protected.

2. How Our Extension Works

The core functionality of Advanced Ad Blocker is designed to enhance your browsing experience by blocking ads and intrusive content. Here's how it works:

• Local Processing: The extension processes web pages locally on your device, identifying and blocking ads without the need for external data transmission. This ensures that your browsing data remains on your device and is never shared with our servers.
• Periodic Updates: To keep the ad-blocking rules up-to-date, the extension periodically connects to our servers to download the latest rule sets. During this process, no personal or identifiable information is transmitted, and the connection is purely to update the ad-blocking functionality.
• Customization: You have the option to customize the ad-blocking settings to suit your preferences. These custom settings are stored locally on your device and are never shared with us or any third parties.

3. Permissions Explained

In order to function effectively, Advanced Ad Blocker requires certain permissions:

• Access to Web Pages: The extension needs permission to access the web pages you visit in order to block ads and unwanted content. This permission is used exclusively for the intended purpose of ad-blocking and does not involve any form of tracking or data collection.
• Local Storage: The extension uses your browser’s local storage to save preferences and settings related to ad-blocking. This information is stored on your device and is not transmitted to us or any third parties.

4. External Links and Content

Advanced Ad Blocker is designed to block ads and distractions from third-party websites, improving your browsing experience. However, it's important to understand the following:

• No Interaction with Third Parties: Our extension does not interact with or collect data from third-party websites. It solely blocks content as per the rules defined in the ad-blocking settings.
• External Links: While our extension can block ads from external sources, any interactions you choose to have with these sites, including clicking on links or making purchases, are beyond the scope of our service. We do not track these interactions or collect any related data.
• Third-Party Services: If you choose to use third-party services that are linked through ads or other content on blocked websites, please be aware that these services have their own privacy policies, which are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

5. Data Security

Although Advanced Ad Blocker does not collect personal information, we take the security of our software and any data it handles very seriously:

• Secure Updates: All updates to the extension, including ad-blocking rules and software patches, are delivered through secure connections to ensure the integrity of the extension.
• Regular Security Audits: We regularly audit the extension for security vulnerabilities and work promptly to address any issues that arise to protect your browsing environment.

6. Updates to This Policy

As our extension evolves, we may make changes to this Privacy Policy to reflect new features or changes in our practices. Here’s what you can expect:

• Notification of Changes: We will update this Privacy Policy on our website and through the extension itself whenever changes are made. The “Effective Date” at the top of this policy will be revised to reflect the date of the latest changes.
• Your Continued Use: By continuing to use the extension after updates to this Privacy Policy, you agree to the terms of the updated policy.
• Reviewing Updates: We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your privacy.
