Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 6, 2026

Welcome to Smart Adblocker. Your privacy is paramount to us, and we are committed to being completely transparent about how our extension operates.

Collection of Information

Information collected by our extension

This "bare minimum" of information is only what is needed to let Smart Adblocker work effectively.

We do not collect any personal data. Only anonymized browsing data is collected to improve the functionality of the extension, in strict adherence to Google's limited use policies. This data helps us optimize your user experience and ensure the smooth operation of our ad-blocking services.

Data collected refers strictly to non-identifying technical operations, including:

  • The exact date and time of your interaction: Collected in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format for debugging.
  • IP Address: Used strictly for generalized regional ad-block rules and security purposes (never stored permanently in raw form).
  • A unique ID (random generated hash): To remember your local configuration and maintain session continuity without identifying you personally.
  • Pages (URL structures): The web address footprints to determine whether tracking elements or popups successfully bypassed our engine.
  • Page load time: Measures how fast web pages load to help optimize performance and identify resource-heavy websites.
  • Blocked count: Number of ads blocked on each page to improve blocking effectiveness and identify new threats.

To be clear, when you choose to share information with us, the list of attributes we collect is completely anonymized and not about you as an individual.

Usage and Analytics Information

As you use our services, we may collect aggregated information through standard toolsets. Such information may include your browser type, operating system version, and general actions taken inside the extension interface. Collectively, this information is referred to as "Usage and Analytics Information" and is strictly de-identified.

How We Use Information

The anonymous usage data we collect is used exclusively for legitimate technical and service improvement purposes. We are committed to using this data responsibly and only for purposes that directly benefit our users and improve our ad-blocking algorithms.

  • Performance Optimization: Analyzing which types of websites load slowly helps us optimize our resource usage and ensure fast, responsive operation across different architectures.
  • Bug Detection and Resolution: Identifying patterns in URLs helps us detect ad-block bypassing scripts, bugs, or errors. This enables us to quickly identify and fix them.
  • Feature Development: Understanding general usage patterns helps us prioritize which features to enhance based on actual user necessities.

All data interactions are limited to anonymous, aggregated technical metrics used to improve the service. This information may be shared with trusted third parties exclusively for research. It is not used for marketing, advertising, commercial exploitation, profiling, or tracking individual long-term behavior.

Data Storage and Security

Security Measures

All collected telemetry is encrypted using Base64 obfuscation and HTTPS during transmission in compliance with applicable laws to ensure the security and privacy of your data. We are committed to following industry-standard practices for data security to safeguard your information from unauthorized access.

Data Retention

We operate on a minimal retention policy. Anonymized data logs are kept for diagnostic purposes and are periodically purged. To completely severe your connection with our backend processes and trigger the erasure of your anonymous hash, simply uninstall the Smart Adblocker extension at any time.

Third-Party Services & Research

We may utilize trusted third-party analytics purely for infrastructure health monitoring and crash tracking. Additionally, we may share anonymized, aggregated data with trusted third parties specifically for research and analytical purposes. These services and partners are contractually bound to strictly respect the anonymized nature of the data and comply perfectly with Google Web Store guidelines.
