Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-04-18

Zevr Guard (hereafter "the Service") is a Chrome extension provided by Zevr (hereafter "we" or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains what information the Service handles, how it is used, and under what conditions it may be transmitted.

1. Information we handle

  • IP address. When the side panel opens its world map, the Service looks up your public IP once per session via api.ipify.org in order to render your own "You are here" pin at the country level. The request contains no other data about you or the sites you browse.
  • Destination-domain information of your browser traffic. The Service reads these via the Chrome declarativeNetRequest and webRequest APIs to classify, visualise, and optionally block them. This information never leaves your browser.
  • Your settings and local statistics. Block-category toggles, custom blocklist, custom allowlist, and per-page counters are stored in chrome.storage.local.

2. What we do not handle

  • We do not receive, record, or transmit the URLs you visit.
  • We do not operate analytics, telemetry, or A/B testing.
  • We do not sell or share your information with third parties.

3. Outbound requests the extension makes

  • Threat-database fetch to https://zevrhq.com/feed/v1/ (our own CDN). The request is a fixed URL and contains no information about your browsing. It runs at most once per day.
  • Your own IP lookup to api.ipify.org (operated by ipify). This is used to place a single pin on the map. We have no business relationship with ipify. If you prefer to disable this, the map simply omits the pin.

4. Retention

All data stored by the Service lives inside chrome.storage.local on your device. Uninstalling the extension removes everything. We do not retain copies elsewhere because we never receive the data in the first place.

5. Open source

The Service is released as open source under GPL-3.0. Every claim on this page can be verified against the source code: github.com/krystasis/zevr-guard.

6. Security contact

For security-sensitive reports, please follow the process described in SECURITY.md. General questions can be sent to krystasis12@gmail.com.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Service. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced via the project release notes.
