Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2026

1. Data Controller

The controller of the personal data that may be collected through this website is:

2. Data Minimisation and Privacy by Design (Manifest V3)

At AdBlock Network, we enforce a strict zero-tracking policy. Our software is engineered using the modern Manifest V3 browser extension architecture. This means:

  • 100% Local Processing: Filtering and blocking of over 5 million malicious or advertising domains and addresses is executed internally and locally on the user's browser using declarative APIs (such as declarativeNetRequest).
  • No Access to Browsing History: The extension does not collect, read, store, or sell users' browsing history, IP addresses, or any other personal data related to online activity.
  • No Telemetry Sent: Our network portal does not use third-party analytics trackers. The only technical communication the extension performs consists of read-only asynchronous requests to our endpoints to keep our blocklists and perimetric defence rules up to date.

3. Payment Management and License Data (ExtensionPay and Stripe)

AdBlock Network is distributed under a freemium subscription model. To ensure user security and minimize data retention, we do not store or process any billing or credit card information.

The process of payment, validation, and management of Premium licenses is delegated entirely to the following trusted third-party platforms:

  • ExtensionPay: A service that acts as a secure license bridge for browser extensions. It manages the registration of user licenses associated with their email. See the ExtensionPay Privacy Policy.
  • Stripe: Global payment gateway with Level 1 PCI-DSS security certification. Stripe directly processes bank or credit card transactions in an encrypted environment. See the Stripe Privacy Policy.

The AdBlock Network developer only has access to internal purchase identifiers provided by the ExtensionPay API and the customer's email for Premium license validation and support; we never access your bank details.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

In accordance with Article 6 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the legal basis for processing the user's email during the purchase is:

  • Contractual necessity (Art. 6.1.b GDPR): Necessary to provide, activate, and maintain the functionality of the Premium license purchased by the user.
  • Consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR): In the event the user submits manual bug reports or inquiries through our support channels.

5. Data Subject Rights (GDPR Rights)

The GDPR grants you a series of rights regarding the processing of your personal data. You may exercise them free of charge by sending an email to privacy@adblock.network with proof of identity. Your rights are:

  • Access: Request to know what data we process regarding your Premium license.
  • Rectification: Request the correction of inaccurate data (such as the license email).
  • Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Request the deletion of your account and Premium license record.
  • Restriction: Request a temporary suspension of your data processing.
  • Portability: Request to receive your subscription data in a structured format.
  • Objection: Object to processing based on grounds relating to your particular situation.

Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant Data Protection Authority (in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos - AEPD at aepd.es).

6. Data Security

We implement the necessary technical and organisational measures to ensure the cybersecurity of our website and prevent unauthorised access, loss, or alteration of data. Since the entire payment infrastructure is delegated to secure HTTPS servers managed by Stripe and ExtensionPay, the risk of data leaks is proactively minimised.
