Overview

HideMaster is a Safari web extension available for iOS and macOS that helps users hide unwanted elements and block distracting content while browsing the web. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in relation to your use of the HideMaster extension.

Information We Collect

HideMaster operates entirely on your device and does not:

• Collect personal information
• Track your browsing activity
• Store your browsing history
• Access your personal data
• Transmit any data to external servers

How the Extension Works

HideMaster functions locally on your device by:

• Processing webpage content directly in your browser
• Storing user preferences locally on your device
• Operating only when you actively use the extension
• Requiring no internet connection for core functionality

All hiding rules, blocked sites, and preferences are stored locally in your Safari browser and are never transmitted elsewhere.

Data Processing

Local Processing Only

• All content filtering happens locally on your device
• No website data is sent to external servers
• No browsing patterns are analyzed or stored remotely
• Extension settings are saved only in your local Safari preferences

No Third-Party Services

HideMaster does not integrate with:

• Analytics services
• Advertising networks
• Data collection services
• Cloud storage services
• Social media platforms

Permissions

The extension requests minimal permissions necessary for functionality:

Website Access: Required to identify and hide elements on web pages you visit. This access is used exclusively for the extension's core functionality and no data is transmitted.

Data Sharing

We do not share any data because we do not collect any data.

Children's Privacy

HideMaster is safe for users of all ages. Since we do not collect any personal information, there are no special considerations for users under 13 years of age.

Security

Since no data is collected or transmitted, there are no data security risks associated with using HideMaster. All processing occurs locally within your Safari browser's secure environment.

Your Rights and Controls

You have complete control over the extension:

• Enable or disable the extension at any time through Safari settings
• Remove the extension completely by deleting the HideMaster app
• Clear local settings by resetting Safari or removing the app

International Users

This privacy policy applies to all users worldwide. Since no data is collected, there are no data transfer or localization concerns.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
