Privacy Policy | WhatsApp Web Blur Extension
Effective Date: February 2026
1. Overview
This browser extension provides visual privacy protection for WhatsApp Web through blur effects on sensitive content.
2. Data Collection
We do not collect any personal data. Specifically, the extension does not collect:
- Messages or conversations
- Contacts or profile information
- Browsing history
- Analytics or tracking data
No data is transmitted to external servers.
3. Local Storage
User preferences (blur settings, language, idle timer duration) are stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API. If you are signed into Chrome, these preferences may sync across devices through Google's sync service. This is standard Chrome functionality beyond the extension's control.
4. How It Works
The extension functions entirely within the browser by injecting CSS stylesheets and applying blur effects to selected elements. All processing is local; no data leaves your device.
5. Permissions
- Storage: Saves blur preferences locally.
- Host access: Required to inject CSS into WhatsApp Web.
6. Third-Party Data Sharing
We do not share any data with third parties because we do not collect any data.
7. Children's Privacy
The extension collects no data from anyone, including minors.
8. Changes to This Policy
Updates will be posted on this page with revised dates.
