Privacy Policy for Ad Blocker
Last updated: September 29, 2026
Ad Blocker is a Chrome extension developed by GetPickAds. This Privacy Policy explains what information the extension collects, how it is used, and how it is protected.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you choose to sign in with Google, we may receive and store information such as your email address or account identifier.
We use this information to:
- Create and manage your account
- Associate your Premium subscription with your account
- Provide Premium entitlement and account-related functionality
Usage and Interaction Data
We may collect limited usage and interaction data to understand how the extension is used and improve its reliability and user experience.
This may include interactions with the extension interface and general feature usage.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Ad Blocker does not intentionally collect or transmit:
- Your browsing history
- Full URLs of pages you visit
- Full page content
- Facebook post content
- Messages or communications
- Screenshots
- Passwords or authentication credentials
- Precise location information
The extension processes website content locally in your browser when necessary to detect and hide supported ads or unwanted content.
3. Missed-Ad Reports
When you voluntarily submit a missed-ad or blocking report, we may receive limited technical diagnostics to investigate the issue.
These diagnostics may include:
- Website hostname
- Extension version
- Detector or rule version
- Report category
- Technical diagnostic information necessary to investigate the report
Reports are not intended to include full page content, browsing history, screenshots, Facebook post text, or other unrelated website content.
4. Ad Blocking and Website Access
The extension requires access to supported web pages because ad blocking and content controls are performed directly in the browser.
Website content may be processed locally by the extension to identify supported advertisements or unwanted content. This local processing is necessary for the extension's core functionality.
5. Third-Party Services
The extension may use third-party services for authentication, subscription management, configuration, analytics, or other necessary functionality.
Google Sign-In may be used when you voluntarily choose to authenticate with Google.
Payment information is processed by the applicable payment provider. Ad Blocker does not intentionally collect or store users' full payment card information.
If analytics services are enabled, limited usage information may be processed according to the applicable service provider's privacy practices.
6. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed by the extension and its associated services.
No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention
Account information is retained for as long as necessary to provide account and Premium functionality or as required for legitimate business and legal purposes.
Technical reports and usage data are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, and improve the extension.
8. Your Choices
You can use the extension's core ad-blocking functionality without signing in.
You may choose whether to sign in with Google or use Premium functionality.
You can also submit or decline to submit voluntary diagnostic reports.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the extension's functionality or data practices change. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
