Ghost Mode Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 28, 2026

The short version

Ghost Mode collects nothing, transmits nothing, and has no servers. Everything the extension does happens locally in your browser.

Data collection

Ghost Mode does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any user data. Your settings, session state, and any custom or protected domains and keywords you add are kept in your browser's local extension storage and never leave your device. There are no analytics, no tracking, no accounts, and no network requests of any kind. The extension never communicates with any external service.

How permissions are used

• history: to delete browsing history from your ghost session, and to scan your local history when you use Selective Purge. History data never leaves your browser.
• downloads: to remove download records created during a ghost session. Downloaded files are never touched.
• browsingData: to optionally clear cache and form/autofill data when a session ends.
• storage: to save your settings, session state, and your custom and protected domain and keyword lists locally on your device.
• favicon: to display site icons from Chrome's local favicon store in the Selective Purge list. Icons are read locally, not fetched from the web.
• alarms: to run the optional auto-end timer, the optional scheduled clean, and session bookkeeping.
• tabs: to optionally auto-start a ghost session when a flagged site is visited, and to optionally close tabs opened during a session. URL matching happens entirely on your device.
• contextMenus: to add the right-click "Erase this site from history" action.

Changes
