Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 17, 2026

The short version: ShieldX does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. Everything happens locally on your device. There are no accounts and no servers that receive your activity.

1. Information we collect

None. ShieldX does not collect personally identifiable information. We do not track the pages you visit, the searches you make, or your browsing history, and we have no analytics or telemetry built into the extension.

2. Information stored on your device

To function, ShieldX stores a small amount of configuration locally in your browser's extension storage:

Whether protection is turned on or off.
The list of websites you have chosen to allow (pause ShieldX on).

This data never leaves your device, is not readable by us, and is removed when you uninstall the extension.

3. Permissions we request and why

Access to website data — required to hide ad elements on the pages you visit. Page content is processed in your browser and never sent anywhere.
Storage — to remember your settings (see section 2).
Network request rules — to block requests to known ad and tracking servers. These rules are applied by your browser itself.

4. Third-party services

ShieldX does not send your data to any third party. The extension uses publicly available filter lists to decide what to block; these lists are bundled into the extension and are not used to transmit information about you. See our Terms of Service for attribution.

5. Children's privacy

ShieldX does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.

6. Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we will revise the "last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
