What AdsKicker reads, and why

• The pages you visit. On web pages, AdsKicker hides ad slots and elements you chose to hide, checks images and links for signs of adult content (their address, description, and link text), and shows its prompts. This happens on your device. Nothing about the pages is stored or sent anywhere.
• Network requests. AdsKicker gives Chrome a list of ad and tracking domains to block, using Chrome's declarativeNetRequest feature. Chrome applies the list itself; AdsKicker doesn't see your requests or your browsing history.
• Blocked-request counts. When you open the AdsKicker popup, it asks Chrome how many requests were blocked on that tab, and from which listed domains, so it can show you. The counts aren't saved.

What AdsKicker stores

Everything AdsKicker stores is kept in your browser's extension storage:

• Settings that sync: the on and off switches, paused sites, and the blocked domains, adult sites, and words you add. If Chrome sync is on, Chrome syncs these with your Google account under Google's privacy policy. AdsKicker itself never receives them.
• Settings that stay on the device: one-hour pauses, the sites and images you reported as safe, images you chose to blur, and elements you chose to hide.

You can see and delete each of these on the AdsKicker settings page. Removing the extension deletes them from the device.

Permissions

• Read and change data on websites: to hide ads, blur images, and check links on the pages you visit.
• Block content on pages (declarativeNetRequest): to block requests to ad and tracking domains.
• Storage: to save your settings.
• Active tab: to count what was blocked on the current tab when you open the popup.
• Context menus: for the right-click items Hide this element, Blur this image, and Report this image as safe.
• Alarms: to end a one-hour pause on time.

The age check and the blur

The age check asks whether you're 18 or older. It doesn't verify anyone's age and doesn't store the answer. The blur is based on words and domains, not on analyzing images. AdsKicker isn't parental-control software.

What AdsKicker doesn't do

It has no analytics, tracking, ads, or accounts. Because it collects no user data, there's nothing to sell, share, or transfer.

This website

This website uses no cookies, scripts, or analytics. It's hosted on Cloudflare Pages, and Cloudflare processes basic request data, such as IP addresses, to deliver the pages and protect them from abuse.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
