This is the privacy policy for Advanced Profanity Filter. There are no external connections made by the Filter. There are no analytics collected by the Filter. The Filter is open source, so feel free to look it over if you'd like. The Filter only modifies the pages that you visit to filter profanity (or words/phrases that you configure). Your privacy is very important to me, and I will do everything I can to preserve it. Below is a list of the permissions used by the Filter, along with explanations of how they are used.
<all_urls>: Because this Filter was designed to filter profanity text found on any webpage, it requires permission to run on all pages. This is the highest level of permission an Extension/Add-on can usually request, so care should be taken before granting it. As stated above, the Filter does not connect to an external service, and no analytics/metrics are gathered. This level of permission is required for the Filter to be able to run on all the web pages that you visit (in the options you can control which pages it actually runs on). It can "change" all data on the websites you visit so that it can modify the page to filter profanity/undesired text.
