Last Updated: January 7, 2025

Introduction

Stand Strong is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in our browser extension designed to help users overcome pornography addiction through faith-based accountability.

Our Core Privacy Promise

We collect ZERO data. Period.

Stand Strong operates entirely on your local device. We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any information about you, your browsing habits, or your usage of this extension.

What Information We DO NOT Collect

• ❌ Browsing history
• ❌ Websites you visit
• ❌ Search queries
• ❌ Blocked sites list
• ❌ Personal information (name, email, etc.)
• ❌ Device information
• ❌ Usage statistics
• ❌ Streak or milestone data
• ❌ IP addresses
• ❌ Location data
• ❌ Analytics or tracking data
• ❌ Crash reports or error logs

How Your Data is Stored

All extension data is stored locally on your device using Firefox's built-in storage API. This includes:

• Your personal blocked sites list
• Your streak counter
• Your milestone progress
• Session preferences

This data:
- Never leaves your device
- Is not accessible to us (the developers)
- Is not shared with any third parties
- Is automatically deleted if you uninstall the extension

What the Extension Does Access

To function properly, Stand Strong needs permission to:

1. Read and modify webpage content - To detect adult content and replace it with encouragement
2. Access all websites - To scan URLs for explicit keywords and known adult domains
3. Use local storage - To remember your blocked sites and track your progress

Important: These permissions allow the extension to work, but we do NOT use them to collect or transmit any data.

Third-Party Services

Stand Strong does NOT use any third-party services, including:

• No analytics (Google Analytics, etc.)
• No crash reporting services
• No advertising networks
• No external APIs
• No cloud storage
• No authentication services

Everything runs 100% locally on your device.

Data Security

Since we don't collect any data, there is no data to secure on our end. Your personal information stays on your device, protected by your browser's security measures.

Children's Privacy

Stand Strong does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. Since we collect no data at all, the extension is safe for users of all ages from a privacy perspective. However, parental guidance is recommended for minors.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

If we ever change our privacy practices (which would only happen if we added features that require data handling), we will:

1. Update this policy with a new "Last Updated" date
2. Notify users through an extension update
3. Require explicit consent for any data collection

We are committed to maintaining our zero-data-collection approach.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect your data, there's nothing for us to:
- Access
- Delete
- Export
- Modify
- Share

You have complete control over your data because it never leaves your device.

Transparency

Stand Strong is open-source software. You can review our code to verify that we truly don't collect any data. Our source code is available at: [Your GitHub/Source Repository URL]

Accountability Partners

Stand Strong does NOT have an accountability partner feature. Your usage remains completely private. If you want accountability, we recommend:
- Sharing your journey with a trusted friend or mentor in person
- Using a separate accountability app if needed
- Joining a faith-based support group

But Stand Strong itself will never report your activity to anyone.
