SafeGuard Browser Filter

Last Updated: November 10, 2026

1. Introduction

SafeGuard Browser Filter is a Chrome extension designed to help users create a safer browsing experience by detecting and blocking website content that matches enabled adult or custom keyword filters.

2. Information Accessed

To provide its filtering features, SafeGuard may access website text, relevant page URLs and search queries on supported websites. This information is used to identify content matching the user's enabled keyword filters.

The extension also uses user preferences, filtering settings and blocked-attempt counts to provide its features.

3. How Information Is Used

• To compare website content against enabled keywords.
• To block matching content on supported websites.
• To save protection and keyword preferences.
• To maintain the blocked-attempt counter.

4. Local Processing and Storage

Website content and search queries are processed locally in the browser for filtering purposes. User preferences, filtering settings and blocked-attempt counts are stored locally using Chrome storage.

Keyword files included with the extension are read locally to provide filtering functionality.

5. Information Sharing

SafeGuard does not sell user data or share it with advertisers or analytics providers. It does not intentionally transmit website content, search queries or locally stored preferences to the developer or third-party services.

6. Data Security

SafeGuard is designed to process filtering information locally and minimize unnecessary data handling.

7. User Control

Users can:

• Turn protection ON or OFF.
• Enable or disable Adult Keywords.
• Enable or disable Custom Keywords.
• Reset the blocked-attempt counter.
• Remove the extension from Chrome.

8. Children's Privacy

SafeGuard does not require users to create an account or provide personal information to use its filtering features.

9. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated if the extension's functionality or data practices change. The updated policy will be published at this same address.

10. Contact

For questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact the SafeGuard Browser Filter developer through the support contact provided on the Chrome Web Store listing.

11. Chrome Web Store Compliance

SafeGuard uses information accessed through Chrome only to provide its single purpose: keyword-based browsing protection, subject to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy.
