Thank you for using Orion AdBlocker. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our browser extension.
1. Information We Collect
Orion AdBlocker is designed with privacy as a priority. We want to be completely transparent about the data we collect:
- We don't collect personally identifiable information: We don't collect names, email addresses, IP addresses, or any other information that could personally identify you.
- We don't track your browsing history: We don't record or transmit the web pages you visit.
- Local usage data: The extension stores some data locally on your device, such as ad-blocking statistics and your configuration preferences. This data never leaves your device.
2. Local Storage
Orion AdBlocker uses the browser's local storage to save:
- Extension settings (enabled/disabled)
- Ad-blocking statistics
- User-defined excluded websites list

This data is stored exclusively on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or third parties.
3. Extension Permissions
Our extension requires several permissions to function correctly:
- storage: To save your preferences and statistics locally.

- webNavigation: To detect navigation changes and apply blocking appropriately.
- activeTab: To interact with the active tab when necessary.
- tabs: To access basic tab information and apply blocking correctly.
- <all_urls>: To be able to block ads on all websites you visit.
These permissions are used exclusively for ad-blocking functions and not for collecting user data.
