This Privacy Policy explains what information Custom Ad Blocker handles and how it is used.
Information we access
Custom Ad Blocker needs access to webpages so that you can use its visual element picker.
When you explicitly activate the element picker, the extension may inspect the webpage structure and content necessary to identify the element you select for blocking.
The extension may also access the website or domain associated with a blocking rule so that the rule can be applied when you revisit that website.
We do not use this access to build a profile of your browsing activity.
Blocking rules
When you create a custom blocking rule, the extension stores the information necessary to identify and hide the selected element.
This may include:
- Website or domain information
- CSS selectors or other element-identification information
- Extension settings and preferences
These rules are primarily stored locally in your browser using the browser's storage functionality.
Pro license information
Custom Ad Blocker Pro is a one-time purchase that provides lifetime access to Pro features.
When you activate a Pro license, the extension may communicate with our backend to verify the license.
Depending on the activation flow, this may involve information such as:
- License key
- License status
- Information necessary to identify the license or activation
We use this information only to provide and protect the Pro license functionality.
Payments
Payments for Custom Ad Blocker Pro are processed by Dodo Payments.
We do not receive or store your complete credit card number, CVV, or other full payment credentials.
Payment information is handled by the payment provider according to its own privacy policy and terms.
How we use information
We use information handled by Custom Ad Blocker to:
- Provide the extension's blocking functionality
- Save and apply your custom blocking rules
- Verify Pro licenses
- Provide customer support
- Maintain and secure the service
- Prevent abuse of the licensing system
- Improve the reliability of the product
We do not use webpage content or browsing activity to serve advertising to you.
Information we do not sell
We do not sell your personal information or browsing activity.
We do not use webpage information for advertising or unrelated profiling.
We do not use information collected by the extension to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
Data sharing
We do not sell or share webpage content or browsing activity with advertisers or data brokers.
Information may be processed by service providers when necessary to operate the product, such as payment processing and license verification.
These providers only receive information necessary for the relevant service.
Data retention
Custom blocking rules are stored locally in your browser unless a feature explicitly requires information to be sent to our backend.
If you uninstall the extension or clear its stored browser data, locally stored blocking rules may be removed.
License-related records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate, verify, and support lifetime licenses, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and prevent fraud or abuse.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information handled by our services.
However, no internet service or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Children's privacy
Custom Ad Blocker is not intended to collect personal information from children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Third-party services
Custom Ad Blocker may use third-party services necessary to operate the product, including Dodo Payments for payment processing and license-related functionality.
Their handling of information is governed by their respective privacy policies.
Your choices
You can:
- Remove saved blocking rules
- Remove the extension from your browser
- Stop using the service
- Contact us regarding information associated with your license
