Privacy policy
Last updated August 19, 2026.
What HideTheAI stores
The extension stores your search mode, enabled filter categories, on-site filtering preference, and custom blocked domains using Chrome's extension storage.
Chrome Sync
Chrome may sync these settings through your Google account when browser sync is enabled. That syncing is handled by Chrome and Google, not by HideTheAI.
What HideTheAI retains or transmits
The HideTheAI extension does not retain or transmit analytics, personal information, browsing history, search queries, or page content. It does not send extension data to the developer or sell user data. The separate site-report form collects only the information you choose to submit.
What HideTheAI processes locally
On supported sites, the extension reads the current page's URL, search query, result links, labels, and visible text so it can rewrite searches and hide matching content. This processing happens temporarily and locally in your browser. HideTheAI does not retain that information after processing or transmit it to the developer or third parties.
Chrome Web Store Limited Use
HideTheAI's use of information received from Chrome and Google APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements .
Public landing page
The public HideTheAI landing page loads typefaces from Google Fonts. When you visit that page, your browser connects to Google under Google's own privacy terms. The extension settings interface does not load third-party fonts.
Site reports
Site reports are transmitted only when you select Submit for review. The form sends the domain or URL, selected category, explanation, and form metadata to Netlify Forms for delivery to the developer. Netlify processes this information on HideTheAI's behalf. Reports are reviewed manually and are not added to the blocklist automatically.
Changes
Material changes to this policy will be published on this page and reflected in any applicable browser-store disclosures.
