Content Guard — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 8, 2026

Summary

Content Guard is a Chrome extension that blocks websites you choose. It does not collect, transmit, store remotely, or sell any user data. Everything the extension does happens entirely inside your own browser.

What data Content Guard handles

The only data Content Guard works with is the list of domains you add to your blocklist — whether typed manually, added via "Block Current Page," or added in bulk via "Load Defaults." This list is saved using Chrome's chrome.storage.local API, which keeps it on your device, inside your own browser profile.

Content Guard has no backend server, makes no network requests of its own, and does not use analytics, tracking, or advertising libraries of any kind.

Permissions and why they're needed

declarativeNetRequest — required to block network requests to the domains on your blocklist. This is how blocking actually happens, entirely inside Chrome's network layer.

storage — saves your blocklist locally so it persists across browser sessions.

activeTab — used only at the moment you click "Block Current Page," to read the active tab's URL and add its domain to your blocklist. Not used for anything else, and not used on any tab you haven't explicitly acted on.

Data sharing

Content Guard does not sell, transfer, or share any data with third parties, because it does not collect any data to begin with. Your blocklist never leaves your browser.

Changes to this policy

If Content Guard's data practices ever change, this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date above will reflect the change.
