Noads is a browser extension that removes page elements based on built-in and user-defined CSS selectors. This Privacy Policy explains what information the extension handles, how that information is used, and what choices you have.
Noads does not collect, sell, or transmit your personal information to the developer’s servers.
To provide its functionality, Noads does handle and store limited extension data through your browser’s extension storage features, including:
Noads also reads the current page URL, hostname, and page content locally in your browser so it can decide whether to apply ad-blocking rules and which selectors to use.
If you are signed in to a browser account that synchronizes extension settings, some of the configuration data above may also be synchronized by your browser provider under that provider’s own terms and privacy practices.
Noads uses the information it handles only to:
Noads does not use this information for advertising, profiling, analytics, or sale to third parties.
Noads does not send your browsing data or stored settings to the developer. The extension stores its configuration within your browser environment and retains it until you change the settings, clear the extension’s stored data, or uninstall the extension.
If browser synchronization is enabled in your browser account, retention and transfer of synchronized settings may also depend on your browser provider’s systems and policies.
Noads is designed to process page information locally within your browser. However, data stored in your browser environment is subject to the security of your device, browser, and any browser account synchronization features you choose to use.
Please avoid entering sensitive personal information into custom selector or whitelist fields, as Noads will store whatever values you choose to save in those settings.
You can control the extension data handled by Noads at any time by:
If your browser syncs extension settings across devices, you may also need to manage synchronized data through your browser account or browser settings.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect product changes, legal requirements, or clarifications. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date on this page.
