Privacy policy

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 collects

The HideTheAI extension does not collect analytics, personal information, browsing history, search queries, or your saved settings. 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 locally in your browser. HideTheAI does not transmit that page content or your search queries to the developer.

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.
