Privacy Policy

Overview

UniversalBan is a browser extension designed to enhance your social media experience by filtering unwanted content. We prioritize your privacy and data security above all else.

Data Collection and Storage

Our extension operates with a strict privacy-first approach:

• Zero Data Collection: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information
• Local Storage: All blocked terms and preferences are stored exclusively in your browser using Chrome's secure storage sync feature
• Browser Sync: Your settings only sync between your own Chrome browsers when you're signed into Chrome
• No Tracking: We do not monitor your browsing history or behavior
• Local Processing: All content filtering happens directly on your device

How the Extension Works

UniversalBan operates entirely locally:

• Scans content on supported social media platforms (Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram)
• Filters content based on your specified blocked terms
• Processes everything locally on your device
• Uses Chrome's storage sync for saving preferences
• Never transmits your blocked terms or preferences to any external servers

Required Permissions

The extension requires minimal permissions to function:

• Access to specific social media sites for content filtering
• Storage permission for saving your preferences locally
• No access to browsing history
• No access to personal data

Data Security

• All operations are performed locally on your device
• No external server communication
• Your preferences are stored securely in Chrome's built-in storage
• No collection or transmission of personal data
