Poof

Privacy Policy

LAST UPDATED
29 May 2026
APPLIES TO
POOF CHROME EXTENSION
DATA COLLECTED
NONE
SERVERS
NONE

Poof collects no personal data, has no accounts, and sends nothing over the network. Your rules stay on your device.

01The short version

Everything stays in your browser

Poof is a tool for inspecting elements on a page, building a CSS selector that targets them, and hiding the matches. It runs entirely inside your browser.

It has no server, no account system, no analytics, and no tracking. It does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any information about you or the pages you visit. There is nothing on the wire.

02What Poof stores

Your rules and settings, on your device

The only thing Poof saves is what you create: the hide-rules and preferences you set, kept per website. These are stored locally using the browser's extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your own computer.

  • Rules consist of a CSS selector (and, for text rules, the phrase you typed) plus how the rule should hide its matches.
  • Storage is local to your browser profile. It is not sent to us or to anyone else.
  • Poof never records your browsing history, the content of pages, form inputs, passwords, or any personal information.
03Permissions

What Poof asks for, and why

Chrome requires an extension to declare the capabilities it uses. Here is every permission Poof requests and the reason for it. Each is used only to make the extension work — never to gather data.

activeTab
Lets the side panel read the current tab’s address and contents when you open Poof on it — so a rule is scoped to the site you’re on and the panel can outline and count matches.
scripting
Re-injects Poof’s own inspector script into tabs that were already open when the extension installs or updates, so they keep working without a manual reload.
storage
Saves your hide-rules and settings on your device so they re-apply on return visits. Local storage only — nothing is synced to a server.
sidePanel
Poof’s whole interface is a side panel. This opens it from the toolbar button and keeps it bound to the active tab.
host access
Poof can hide elements on whatever site you choose, and saved rules re-apply automatically on each page load. That requires running Poof’s script on the pages you target to read their structure and apply your CSS. The page is only ever read on your device — never collected or sent anywhere.
04What Poof does not do

No collection, no sharing, no ads

  • No analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking of any kind.
  • No remote servers — Poof makes no network requests to us.
  • No advertising, and no selling or sharing of data with third parties.
  • No sign-in, profile, or identifier tied to you.
05Keeping & deleting

You stay in control

Your rules remain until you remove them. Poof's options page lists every site that has rules and lets you review or delete them. You can also clear a single rule from the side panel.

Removing the extension deletes its local storage, taking your rules with it.

06Children

Not directed at children

Poof is a general-purpose browsing tool and is not directed at children under 13. Because it collects no data at all, it gathers nothing from anyone, regardless of age.

07Changes

Updates to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with an updated date above. Poof's no-collection, no-transmission stance is fundamental to the extension and is not expected to change.
