Overview

X (Twitter) Spam Blocker ("the Extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we handle data when you use our extension.

            Important: All data is stored locally on your device only. 
            We do not collect, transmit, or share any data with external servers or third parties.
        

Data Collection

We do not collect any personal information or user data.

The Extension operates entirely locally on your device and does not communicate with any external servers.

Local Data Storage

The following data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's local storage API:

Spam Patterns: Learned patterns from posts you mark as spam
User Preferences: Your similarity threshold and minimum word count settings
Blocked Count: Number of posts blocked in the current session
Extension State: Whether the blocker is enabled or disabled

Data Usage

All stored data is used solely to provide the Extension's functionality:

To identify and block spam posts based on learned patterns
To remember your preferences and settings
To display statistics about blocked content

Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, or transmit any data to third parties. All data remains on your device and is never sent to external servers.

Data Access

The Extension only accesses content on X (Twitter) and twitter.com domains to:

Analyze post content for spam detection
Add block buttons to posts
Hide spam content based on learned patterns

Your Rights

You have full control over your data:

You can clear all learned patterns at any time through the extension popup
You can reset the blocked count
You can export or import your patterns
You can uninstall the extension, which removes all local data

Third-Party Services

The Extension does not use any third-party analytics, tracking services, or external APIs. It operates completely independently and locally.

Children's Privacy

The Extension does not knowingly collect any information from children. Since we do not collect any data, this is not applicable.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
