Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 24, 2024

Guard Hero is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle data in our browser extension.

🛡️ TL;DR

Guard Hero blocks ads and trackers locally on your device. We collect minimal, anonymized telemetry data only with your explicit consent. We never collect personally identifiable information (PII).

What We Collect

1. Blocking Statistics (Stored Locally)

Guard Hero stores the following data locally on your device only:

  • Total number of blocked requests (count only, not URLs)
  • Domains of blocked trackers (e.g., "google-analytics.com")
  • Session statistics (resets when browser restarts)
  • Whitelist (websites where you've disabled blocking)
  • Your consent preferences (whether you've enabled telemetry)

2. Anonymized Telemetry (Optional, Requires Consent)

If you opt-in to telemetry, Guard Hero sends anonymized blocking events to help us improve blocking effectiveness.
