Last updated: May 2026

OVERVIEW

BlockShield is an ad blocker and privacy extension. We are committed to collecting no personal data.

DATA WE COLLECT

None. BlockShield does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to any server.

WHAT IS STORED LOCALLY (on your device only)

These counters are totals only — no URLs, page content, or browsing history is stored.
