✓ The Short Version
This extension runs entirely inside your browser. It never contacts any server owned or operated by the developer, and it never sends information about you, your browsing habits, or your settings to any third party.
📦 What Data Is Stored
Self Respect saves your preferences using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.sync API. This data is stored locally in your Chrome profile and may be synced by Google across your own devices if you have Chrome Sync enabled. The developer has no access to it.
The only data stored is:
- Whether the extension is enabled or disabled
- Your chosen blocking level (Soft / Puzzle / Hard)
- Which built-in categories are active (Adult Content, Social Media, Gambling)
- Any custom domains you have added yourself
- Your redirect and notification preferences
- Block count statistics (total blocks and blocks today)
None of this data ever leaves your device through the extension.
🌐 Network Requests
Self Respect does not make any network requests on its own. The only outbound navigation that occurs is when the extension redirects your browser to a third-party educational resource (for example, yourbrainonporn.com, psychologytoday.com, or ncpgambling.org) after blocking a site. This is a normal browser navigation initiated by you and is governed by those sites' own privacy policies.
🔒 Permissions Used
- storage — to save your settings and statistics locally in your Chrome profile.
- tabs — to communicate between the popup and the active tab when you toggle the extension on or off. The extension does not read, record, or transmit your tab history or URLs.
👤 Personal Information
The extension does not ask for, collect, or process any personally identifiable information — no name, email address, IP address, location, or device identifiers.
🧒 Children's Privacy
This extension does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13. Because no data is collected at all, it is safe to use regardless of age.
