Privacy Policy
Last updated: 5 November 2026
The short version. GetFeedMute runs entirely inside your browser. It has no server, no account system and no analytics. We do not collect, store, sell or share your browsing history, what you watch or anything a site recommends to you.
1. Who we are
GetFeedMute (“we”, “us”) provides a free Chrome extension that hides short-form video shelves and recommendation feeds on the websites you visit. This policy explains what the extension does and does not do with information, and applies to both the extension and the website at getfeedmute.com.
2. Information we collect
We do not collect personal data. Specifically, the extension does not collect or transmit:
- your browsing or watch history, or the URLs you visit;
- the videos, posts or recommendations that appear on the pages you open;
- your accounts on any video or social platform, or anything you are signed in to;
- your name, email address or any account identifiers — the extension has no accounts of its own;
- IP addresses, device identifiers or advertising identifiers;
- analytics, telemetry or usage statistics of any kind.
3. How the extension works with page content
To hide a feed, the extension must recognise it on the page you are viewing, including sections the site adds while you scroll. That matching happens locally, in your browser, in real time, against a list of page patterns that ships inside the extension. Nothing it reads is copied, stored or sent to us or to any third party. When you close the tab, nothing remains.
4. Your accounts stay yours
The extension hides parts of a page after the site has sent them to your browser. It does not sign in on your behalf, read your credentials, change your account settings, follow or unfollow anyone, or tell any platform what to recommend. Your subscriptions, history and preferences on those sites are managed by them, not by us.
5. Local settings
Your switches — which sections are hidden on which sites — are saved in your browser's local extension storage so they survive a restart. They stay on your device. You can erase them at any time by removing the extension or clearing its storage through Chrome's extension settings.
6. Permissions we request
Chrome requires an extension to declare the permissions it needs. GetFeedMute requests access to the supported sites solely in order to find and hide recommendation feeds on them. It does not use that access for any other purpose.
7. Third parties
The extension contains no third-party trackers, advertising SDKs or analytics libraries. We do not sell or share data with anyone, because we do not hold any. Note that the Chrome Web Store, operated by Google, processes installation and review data under its own policies when you install the extension.
8. This website
getfeedmute.com is a static website. It sets no tracking cookies and runs no analytics. Web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, whose servers may log a standard request when your browser fetches them. Our hosting provider may keep basic server logs for security and reliability, in line with normal industry practice.
9. Children
GetFeedMute is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them. As no information is collected from anyone, this is a matter of policy rather than of data handling.
10. Your rights
Data-protection laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you rights to access, correct and delete personal data held about you. We hold no personal data about you, so there is nothing for us to retrieve or erase. Removing the extension removes everything it kept on your device.
11. Changes to this policy
If the extension's behaviour ever changes in a way that affects this policy, we will update this page and revise the date above. Continued use of the extension after an update means you accept the revised policy.
