Privacy Policy for X Feed Filter

Last updated: [04 - June - 2025]

Introduction

X Feed Filter is a browser extension designed to help you customize your Twitter/X timeline by hiding posts from specific Communities. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you feel confident while using our extension.

Data Handling and Transmission

X Feed Filter is designed with privacy in mind. Here's how we handle your data:

1. No External Data Collection: X Feed Filter does not collect or store any user data on external servers. All filtering and block-list management happens locally in your browser.
2. Local Operation: All extension features operate entirely within your browser. No data is sent to any servers, including ours.
3. Block-list Storage: Your list of blocked communities is stored locally in your browser's storage. This data is never transmitted or shared.
4. No Tracking: The extension does not track your activity, browsing history, or any personal information.
5. No Authentication Data: X Feed Filter does not require or store any login or authentication information.
6. No Third-Party Requests: The extension does not make any external requests or use third-party analytics or tracking services.
7. Context Menu Integration: When you use the context menu to block a community, the extension only processes the necessary information to update your local block-list.
8. Settings Export: If you choose to export your settings or block-list, the file is saved locally on your device and is not transmitted to any servers. Please handle this file with care, as it may contain your personal preferences.

Permissions

X Feed Filter requires the following browser permissions:

• Access to twitter.com/x.com: This is necessary for the extension to function on the Twitter/X website and filter posts in your timeline.
• Storage: This permission allows the extension to save your block-list and settings locally in your browser.

These permissions are used solely for the stated purposes and do not involve transmitting data to external servers.
