Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Introduction

At HideMySidebar, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our browser extension.

What Data Do We Collect?

Short answer: We don't collect or store any personal data.

HideMySidebar operates entirely locally on your device. Our extension:

  • Does not collect any browsing data
  • Does not track your activity
  • Does not access your passwords or personal information
  • Does not send any data to our servers
  • Does not use cookies or tracking pixels
  • Only stores your extension preferences locally on your device

Local Storage

Your extension settings (such as which sites have sidebars hidden or blurred) are stored locally on your device only. This data never leaves your computer and is never transmitted to any server.

Third-Party Services

HideMySidebar does not use any third-party analytics, tracking services, or advertising networks. Your browser extension operates independently without any external data collection.

Do We Share Your Data?

No. We do not share, sell, trade, or rent any user information to third parties. We do not have access to your data to share it.

Your Privacy Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there is nothing for you to request deletion of or access to. Your settings are entirely under your control. You can uninstall the extension at any time, which will remove all associated data from your device.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
