In short
ChatBlur Pro blurs chat content directly inside your browser. It never reads, copies, or sends your messages, images, or contacts anywhere. Your settings stay on your own device. Nothing is collected, logged, or sold.
ChatBlur Pro is a browser extension that applies a visual CSS blur to chat text, names, photos, videos, and profile pictures on supported messaging websites (listed below), so the contents of your screen aren't visible to people glancing over your shoulder or appearing in screen shares.
The blur is applied by adding a style to elements that are already loaded in your own browser tab. The extension does not extract, screenshot, transmit, or store the content it blurs — it only changes how that content is displayed to you.
Your preferences — whether blur is on, blur intensity, which categories (text, names, images, videos, profile pictures) are blurred, per-site on/off switches, and your chosen theme — are saved using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.local API.
That means these settings are stored only on your own device, inside your own browser profile. They are never synced to a server, never sent over the network, and are not accessible to us, to the sites you visit, or to any other extension.
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
| storage | To save your blur settings locally on your device, as described above. |
| scripting | To apply and remove the blur style on the page you're viewing. |
| activeTab | To let the popup detect which supported site is open in your current tab. |
| commands | To power the Alt+B keyboard shortcut that toggles blur on/off. |
| Site access (host permissions) | Limited to the specific messaging sites listed below — required so the extension can run on those pages and apply the blur there. ChatBlur Pro cannot see or act on any other website. |
Supported sites:
ChatBlur Pro does not share, sell, or transmit any data to third parties — because it does not collect or transmit any data in the first place. There are no third-party SDKs, ad networks, or analytics providers embedded in this extension.
ChatBlur Pro is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, regardless of age — consistent with everything above.
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be published here with a new effective date. Continued use of ChatBlur Pro after a change means you accept the revised policy.
