Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 9, 2026

FeedSanitizer is built with a privacy-first design. We believe that your social feeds, keywords, and reading habits are entirely your own business.

1. Data Collection & Processing

Local Filtering Only: FeedSanitizer performs all content parsing, regex matching, and module hiding entirely on your local device.
Zero Feed Transmission: Feed data, post text, handles, and timelines analyzed by FeedSanitizer are never transmitted to any server or external API.
Filter Rules Storage: All filter rules (keywords, blocked handles, highlight topics, hidden modules) are stored locally in your browser's private storage (chrome.storage.local).

2. Permissions Used & Why

FeedSanitizer requests the following browser permissions:

storage: Required to save your custom filter lists and preferences locally in your browser.
host_permissions (twitter.com, x.com, linkedin.com, facebook.com): Required to inject the local content script (content.js) that analyzes post elements in the DOM to hide matching items.

3. Anonymous Telemetry (Not Yet Implemented)

FeedSanitizer does not collect any telemetry today. The settings page shows a disabled "Allow anonymous usage analytics" option reserved for a future release — it does not send any data in the current version.

When this feature ships, it will remain strictly opt-in, will be disabled by default, and will be documented here before release with exactly what is collected. It will never include the text of your rules, handles blocked, highlights, or any feed/post content.

4. Third-Party Disclosures

FeedSanitizer does not sell, trade, or transfer any user information to third parties, as no personal data is collected or stored on external servers.
