Privacy Policy — Privatfilter för Blocket

Chrome extension · version 0.1.0 · effective 2026-08-12

This extension collects nothing, sends nothing, and has no server. It hides listing cards on Blocket search pages inside your own browser. Your filter settings are saved locally on your computer using Chrome's local extension storage, and they are never transmitted anywhere — not to us, not to Blocket, not to anyone. There is no account, no login, and no analytics.

Who we are

Filterfabrik, an independent developer. The extension is free and carries no advertising.

What the extension stores, and where

ItemWhere it livesDoes it leave your computer?
Which filters you turned onChrome local extension storage, on your deviceNo.
Words you chose to hideChrome local extension storage, on your deviceNo.
Maximum price and maximum ageChrome local extension storage, on your deviceNo.
Listing IDs you have already seenChrome local extension storage, on your deviceNo.
Your chosen interface languageChrome local extension storage, on your deviceNo.

All of the above uses chrome.storage.local. It deliberately does not use chrome.storage.sync, which would copy your settings to your Google account and off your device. Uninstalling the extension deletes all of it.

What we do NOT collect

Permissions, and why each one is unavoidable

PermissionWhy it is required
storageSaves your filter choices locally so they survive closing the browser. Nothing leaves the machine.
*://*.blocket.se/*The filter has to read and hide listing cards on Blocket's own result pages. Scoped to blocket.se only.

There is no <all_urls> permission. The extension cannot read any site other than the one named above.

How to verify this yourself

You do not have to take our word for it. Open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, and open the extension's service worker. Then open DevTools → Network and use the extension normally. You will see no outbound requests, because there are none in the code: the extension contains no fetch, no XMLHttpRequest, no sendBeacon and no WebSocket to any external host. The typeface it uses is packaged inside the extension rather than loaded from a font CDN, precisely so that displaying text is not a network event.

Children

The extension is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone, of any age.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version is published here with a new effective date. A change that expanded what the extension can access would also require a new permission, which Chrome shows you before it takes effect.
