Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 12, 2025

Thank you for using Hide Listings (the "Extension"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Extension handles information. The most important thing to know is that we do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data.

1. The Guiding Principle: We Collect Nothing

Our extension was built from the ground up with your privacy as the top priority. We do not have servers, and we do not collect or store any personal information, browsing history, or user activity. The data the Extension uses to function resides exclusively on your own computer.

2. Information the Extension Handles (Locally)

To perform its function, the Extension needs to save some data within your browser's local storage. This data is created and managed by you and is never transmitted to us or any third party. This locally stored data includes:

• A List of Hidden Item IDs: When you click the "Hide" button on a Facebook Marketplace listing, the Extension saves the unique numerical ID of that item (e.g., `1234567890`). This is stored so the Extension can remember to hide it the next time you visit the page. We do not store any other information about the item, such as its title, price, or seller.
• Subscription Status: The Extension saves a simple true/false flag to indicate if you are a "Free" or "Pro" user. This is used only to determine whether to apply the hiding limit within the Extension on your computer.

3. How This Information is Used

The locally stored data mentioned above is used solely for the core functionality of the Extension:

• The list of hidden item IDs is used to hide those specific listings from your view when you browse Facebook Marketplace.
• The subscription status is used to unlock the features of the plan you are on.

4. Data Storage and Security

All data handled by the Extension is stored using the official chrome.storage.local API. This means the data is stored securely on your local device as part of your browser's profile.

We, the developers of Hide Listings, have absolutely no access to this data. The information is as secure as your own computer.

5. Third-Party Services

The Hide Listings extension does not integrate with any third-party analytics or tracking services.

In the future, should you choose to upgrade to a Pro plan, you will be directed to a secure, industry-standard third-party payment processor. We will not receive, handle, or store any of your sensitive payment information, such as credit card details. We will only receive confirmation from the payment processor that a payment was made.

6. Your Control Over Your Data

You have complete and total control over your data. You can delete all data stored by the Extension at any time by:

1. Clearing Browser Storage: You can clear the local storage for the extension through your browser's settings.
2. Uninstalling the Extension: Simply uninstalling the Extension will permanently remove all of its stored data from your device.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Extension is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly handle any information from them.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy in the future if the Extension's functionality changes. We will post the new policy on our website and update the "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
