Pixelate — Privacy Policy

Effective: August 3, 2026

Pixelate does not collect, store, or transmit any data about you or your browsing.

No data leaves your browser. The extension runs entirely on your device. It has no server, no analytics, no telemetry, and makes no network requests of its own.
Settings only. The only thing Pixelate stores is your own settings (on/off, strength levels, per-site switches), kept in your browser's extension storage. If your browser syncs extension data between your own devices, that sync is handled by your browser vendor under their policy.
Screen-time insights stay local. If you use the screen-time feature, Pixelate keeps a tally — time on YouTube and per video, time on AI chat sites and per conversation, and (only if the capture switch is on) the text of your AI conversations — inside your own browser's local storage, on your device. None of it is uploaded anywhere; you can turn each part off, export it, or erase it all from the settings page, and old entries are deleted automatically on a schedule you control.
Page access. Pixelate needs access to web pages to apply its visual filter to images and videos. It does not read page content beyond what is required to identify media elements, and it never records or transmits anything it sees.
No accounts. There is nothing to sign up for.
