# Privacy Policy – Stop Stalking - Break the Habit

**Last updated:** March 21, 2026

Stop Stalking is a browser extension designed to help users avoid checking specific websites, profiles, or content that they have chosen to block.

## 1. Data Collection

Stop Stalking **does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data**.

The extension does not collect:

* Personal identification information (such as name, email, or address)
* Financial or payment information
* Authentication data (passwords, credentials, etc.)
* Personal communications
* Location data
* Web browsing history
* User activity data (clicks, typing, etc.)
* Website content

## 2. How the Extension Works

All functionality happens **locally in the user's browser**.

The extension may:

* Compare URLs against user-defined keywords
* Detect matching text in input fields (such as search bars)
* In Sensei Mode, temporarily scan visible text on a page (such as usernames, messages, or suggestions) to detect blocked keywords

This processing happens **locally in real time** and is never stored, recorded, or transmitted.

## 3. Data Sharing

Stop Stalking **does not share any data with third parties**.

No data is sent to external servers, APIs, or services.

## 4. Data Storage

The extension may store user-defined keywords, settings, and an optional hashed password locally using the browser’s storage.

This data:

* Stays on the user's device
* Is not accessible to the developer
* Is never transmitted externally

## 5. Remote Code

Stop Stalking does **not use remote code**.

All scripts and logic are packaged within the extension and run locally.

## 6. Purpose Limitation

The extension only uses data necessary to provide its core functionality: blocking access to user-defined content.

## 7. Security

Since no personal data is collected or transmitted, user privacy is inherently protected.

## 8. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated in the future. Any changes will be reflected in this document.

## 9. Contact

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you may contact the developer through the extension listing or official support page.
