Google Search Sponsor Link Remover & Customizer

This Privacy Policy explains how the Google Search Sponsor Link Remover & Customizer extension handles user data.

Data Collection

This extension does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal or sensitive user data. No personally identifiable information, browsing history, or user activity is collected.

Storage Permission

The extension uses the Chrome storage permission only to save user preferences locally on the user’s device. These preferences include settings such as whether sponsored links are hidden or how Google Search results are visually customized. This data remains entirely local and is never transmitted outside the browser.

Tabs Permission

The tabs permission is used only to detect when a Google Search results page is active so the extension can apply user selected customizations. The extension does not read, monitor, or record browsing history, page content, or user behavior.

Host Permissions

Host permissions are limited strictly to Google Search result pages, including:

These permissions are required to identify and modify sponsored elements directly within the page’s DOM. The extension does not access or interact with any other websites.

Remote Code

This extension does not use remote code. All scripts are bundled within the extension package and executed locally. No external servers, APIs, or third-party scripts are used.

Data Sharing

The extension does not sell, transfer, or share user data with third parties. No data is used for advertising, analytics, tracking, or profiling.

Security

All processing occurs locally within the browser. Since no user data is collected or transmitted, the risk of data exposure is minimized.

Changes

If this Privacy Policy changes in the future, it will be updated on the Chrome Web Store listing.
