Privacy Policy for UserAuthGuard Free
Chrome Extension Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 10, 2026
1. Summary
UserAuthGuard Free does not collect, store, or transmit any user data. Period.
2. Data We Do NOT Collect
- No personal information
- No email addresses or names
- No browsing history
- No usage analytics
- No cookies or tracking
- No IP addresses
3. How the Extension Works
UserAuthGuard Free blocks websites entirely on your local device. The list of blocked sites is bundled within the extension itself.
- No internet connection is required for blocking to work
- No data is ever sent to any server
- All blocking happens locally using Chrome's declarativeNetRequest API
4. Local Storage
The extension stores only one piece of data locally on your device: the count of blocked domains (a single number). This is used to display "X sites blocked" in the popup. This number never leaves your device.
5. Chrome Permissions & Scopes
UserAuthGuard Free requests the following Chrome permissions:
declarativeNetRequest
Used to block websites. This is Chrome's privacy-preserving API that blocks network requests without accessing page content. The extension cannot read any data from the pages you visit.
storage
Stores the blocked domain count locally on your device. This data is never synced to any server and never leaves your browser.
host_permissions: <all_urls>
Required by Chrome to apply blocking rules to all websites. Despite this broad permission, the extension only uses it for blocking; it cannot read or modify page content.
6. Third Parties
We do not share any data with third parties because we do not collect any data.
7. Children's Privacy
UserAuthGuard Free is designed for use in schools and by families. We do not collect any data from anyone, including children.
8. Changes to This Policy
If we ever change this policy, we will update this page. But since we don't collect data, there's not much to change.
9. Blocked Sites List
UserAuthGuard Free blocks the following 83 sites across the 3 categories that are on by default. Three further categories (social media, gaming, video and streaming) are bundled and off by default; the full list is on the blocked sites page. These lists are static and bundled with the extension.

Privacy Policy for UserAuthGuard Chromebook Monitor
The Chrome extension behind the paid Classroom & Safety add-on, listed on the Chrome Web Store as UserAuthGuard Chromebook Monitor
Effective Date: April 10, 2026
1. Overview
UserAuthGuard Classroom Monitor is a Chrome extension designed for educational institutions to monitor student Chromebook usage, track screen time, and support online safety. This is a monitoring tool intended for school-managed devices.
It is a separate, paid add-on. A district buys it deliberately and deploys it through Google Admin to the organizational units it chooses. UserAuthGuard's core device-assignment product does not include it and does not observe students; a district that has not deployed this extension has no screen-viewing capability.
2. Data We Collect
When monitoring is active, the extension collects:
- Screenshots: Captures of the active browser tab (not the entire screen) at configurable intervals
- Website Activity: URLs, page titles, and time spent on each website
- User Interactions: Click counts, keystroke counts (excluding password/email fields), scroll distance
- Search Queries: What users search for online
- Screen Time Data: Duration spent on different website categories
- Device Location: For lost/stolen device recovery (when enabled by school)
3. Data We Do NOT Collect
- Passwords or email field contents
- Personal files outside browser
- Screenshots when monitoring is off
- Data from incognito mode
- Audio or video recordings
- Clipboard contents

- Visual Indicators: Browser badge shows when monitoring is active

- Configurable Features: Schools can enable/disable specific monitoring features
