Privacy Policy for Google Chat Blur

Effective Date: January 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Google Chat Blur ("we", "us", or "our") handles your information in connection with the Google Chat Blur Chrome Extension.

1. Data Collection

We do not collect, store, share, or sell any of your personal data.

The extension operates entirely locally on your device. It does not transmit any information to external servers, analytics services, or third parties.

2. Permissions Usage

We require specific permissions to provide the extension's functionality. Here is how they are used:

• Storage: We use the storage permission to save your preferences locally on your browser (e.g., whether the Global Blur is turned on or which specific chats you have chosen to blur). This ensures your settings are remembered when you return to Google Chat.
• Host Permissions (https://chat.google.com/*): We require access to Google Chat solely to modify the visual appearance of the page (blurring content) and to inject the toggle buttons. We do not read, process, or store the content of your messages.

3. Data Storage

All user preferences (such as blur states) are stored within your browser's local storage mechanism (chrome.storage.local). This data stays on your machine and is removed if you uninstall the extension.

4. Third-Party Services

This extension does not use any third-party analytics, tracking tools, or advertising networks.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

6. Contact Us
