• No data is transmitted to external servers or third parties.
• No analytics, tracking, or telemetry data is collected.

The Extension requests the following permissions:

• declarativeNetRequest: To block navigation to specified websites
• declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess: To apply blocking rules to all websites
• declarativeNetRequestFeedback: To provide feedback on blocking rules
• storage: To save your list of blocked websites

These permissions are used exclusively for the Extension’s core functionality.

Data Retention

Your blocked websites list is retained until you:

• Manually remove sites from the list
• Uninstall the Extension
• Clear Chrome sync data
