X Shield Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 12, 2025

Overview

X Shield is a browser extension designed to help users minimize distractions on X.com. We respect your privacy and don't collect any personal data. This privacy policy explains our commitment to protecting your privacy and how we handle information.

What We Collect

X Shield does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. The extension only stores your preference settings (shields up/down) locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. This data never leaves your device.

How We Use Data

The only data stored is your shields preference (enabled/disabled), which remains on your device and is never transmitted to any servers. This preference is used solely to maintain your chosen settings between browser sessions.

Third-Party Services

X Shield does not use any third-party services, analytics, or tracking tools. The extension operates entirely locally on your device without any external dependencies or connections.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or transfer any user information to third parties. Since we don't collect any data, there is nothing to share.

Security

All preferences are stored locally using Chrome's storage API, which provides secure storage within your browser. No data leaves your device, eliminating the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access to your information.

Permissions

X Shield requires the following permissions to function:

  • Storage: To save your shields up/down preference locally
  • Host Permission (x.com): To inject CSS and modify page content on X.com only

Changes to This Policy

Any updates to this privacy policy will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
