Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 11, 2026

Blur It is a Chrome extension that lets you instantly blur sensitive content on any webpage. This policy explains what data the extension handles and how. We built Blur It to be privacy-first: your blur activity stays on your device.

1. Information We Collect

Blur It does not collect, transmit, or sell personally identifiable information. The extension only handles the following data, locally on your device:

• Blur preferences and settings (intensity, mode, shortcuts).

• Per-site blur selections you create, so blurs can persist when you revisit a page.

• License activation information, when you activate a paid license key.

2. How Data Is Stored

All preferences and blur selections are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. This data never leaves your device and is not sent to us or to any third party.

3. Permissions We Use

• activeTab and scripting: required to apply blur effects to the page you are currently viewing.

• storage: required to save your settings and blur selections locally.

• alarms: used for scheduled internal tasks such as periodic license validation.

• Host permissions (all URLs): required so the extension can apply blurs on any site you choose to use it on. The extension only runs when you activate it.

4. License Activation

If you purchase a Pro license, the extension communicates with our licensing provider solely to validate your license key. This exchange does not include browsing history, page content, or personal information beyond what is required to verify the key.

5. What We Do Not Do

• We do not collect browsing history.

• We do not read, transmit, or store the content of the webpages you visit.

• We do not track you across websites.

• We do not sell or share your data with third parties.

• We do not use analytics that identify individual users.

6. Children's Privacy

Blur It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

7. Your Choices

You can clear all locally stored Blur It data at any time by removing the extension from Chrome, or by clearing the extension's storage from chrome://extensions.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the extension after an update means you accept the revised policy.
