How does AdProtector Guard gather information?
AdProtector Guard only collects necessary anonymized user data on its servers to support the extension's functionality. Basic anonymized data, such as IP address, GEO location, and extension version number, is tracked to enhance the extension's functionality and user experience. All data is encrypted and anonymized at all times. In addition, we use Google Analytics, a third-party service that collects certain information about our visitors, such as session length and frequency, return rate, technical information, and more, to better understand their experience. We do not collect any personal information or device identifiers, and IP addresses are anonymized before transmission. All collected information is highly encrypted.
How is the collected information handled by AdProtector Guard?
We analyze the combined usage statistics to identify areas where AdProtector Guard can be improved, monitor overall speed and error rates, and examine supported devices, browsers, and resolutions. We also consider language and locale information to enhance the extension's functionality in different regions and provide the most useful localizations for our users.
