1. Overview
EducaXD Safe Browser is a content filtering extension designed to protect children while browsing the internet. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how the extension works.
Key Point: This extension does NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal information to external servers, except for URL validation requests necessary for content filtering.
2. What Data We Process
The extension processes the following data locally on your device:
- Security PIN: Stored locally in your browser to protect extension settings. Never transmitted externally.
- Protection status: Whether content filtering is enabled or disabled.
- Temporarily unlocked sites: URLs that have been temporarily allowed by an authorized user (parent/guardian).
3. URL Filtering Service
To provide content filtering, the extension sends URLs you visit to our filtering service:
- Only the URL is sent — no personal information, browsing history, or user data.
- The service returns only "allowed" or "blocked" — no data is stored on our servers.
- Certain URLs are never sent (authentication pages, Chrome internal pages, EducaXD domains).
4. Permissions Explained
The extension requires certain permissions to function. Here's why:
| Permission | Purpose |

storage |

5. Data Storage
All user preferences are stored locally using Chrome's built-in storage API:
- Data never leaves your device except for URL filtering requests.
- Uninstalling the extension removes all stored data.
- No cookies or tracking mechanisms are used.
6. Third-Party Services
The extension communicates only with:
- EducaXD URL Filter API (educaxd.com) — to determine if websites should be blocked.
We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
7. Children's Privacy

- Not collect any personal information from children.
- Not require account creation or registration.
