Who handles your information
Nobash LLC operates Broxme. This policy covers visits to broxme.com, messages you send us, and Studio beta requests when an edition is open for testing.
When you visit broxme.com
Cloudflare helps deliver and protect this website. When you open a page, its infrastructure may process your IP address, the requested page, the time, browser headers and security events. We use this information to serve pages, diagnose problems and prevent abuse. We do not use it to build advertising profiles.
We serve the site’s fonts from broxme.com. If you follow an external link or choose to load an embedded video, the other provider handles that request under its own privacy policy.
When you contact us
The contact form saves your name, email address, optional company name, selected topic and message in a Cloudflare D1 database. We also save a submission time and inquiry reference so we can find and answer your request. To reduce spam, Cloudflare uses hashes of your email address and IP address for short-lived rate limits. We keep the inquiry record without your IP address.
When a Studio edition accepts beta requests, we use the email address and edition submitted through the beta form to send the requested link through our delivery provider. The beta form is for adults, including parents, guardians, and educators. Please enter your own email address and avoid sharing student information. We use short-lived rate limits to reduce abuse.
If you email us, we receive your email address, message and any attachments you send. Support staff can see what you share with them. Please remove passwords, recovery codes and unrelated personal information from screenshots or files before sending them.
We keep correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to handle the request, maintain necessary records, resolve disputes and meet legal obligations. Infrastructure log retention depends on the provider and its configuration.
What the browser extension reads when you browse
Version 2.0.0 of the browser extension compares website addresses and network requests with rules installed in your browser. On supported pages, it reads parts of the page, such as ad labels and video player controls, to hide ads or skip them when possible. Its fingerprinting controls can also limit what a site learns from certain graphics and audio features in your browser.
These checks run on your device. The browser extension does not send Broxme the URLs you visit, page contents, searches, form entries, passwords, cookies or ad counts. It has no advertising analytics or browsing telemetry. We do not sell browsing data or use it for advertising.
How the browser extension gets its filters and updates
The Chrome, Edge and Firefox packages for version 2.0.0 of the browser extension include the filter lists and the code that applies them. Choosing a list in the extension turns on rules already installed on your device. The browser extension does not contact a Broxme server to check for lists, look up the sites you visit or download code to run.
For store installations, changes to the bundled lists and code arrive with an extension update through your browser’s add-on store. The store handles installation and updates under its own privacy policy. If you open a help link in the browser extension, your browser visits the linked website.
What stays on your device
Your browser stores your selected lists, protection and appearance settings, site exceptions, and custom blocking rules. Rules you create can include a domain or a path. The browser extension also stores counts of ad elements hidden and video ads skipped. The Statistics view shows daily, weekly, monthly and all-time totals without creating a list of sites you visited.
You can edit your rules and exceptions or reset your current preferences in Settings. If you upgraded from a version that recorded request history, use Delete previous request history in Settings when that option appears. Resetting preferences keeps migration backups and original settings from the older version. A backup you export may include domains you selected and stays in your downloads until you delete it.
Removing the browser extension normally removes its extension storage from that browser profile. Your browser’s backup and recovery settings may affect other copies. Broxme has no server copy of these local records to retrieve or erase for you.
Why the browser extension asks for browser access
Site access lets the browser extension apply filters to web requests and run its packaged cleanup tools on supported pages. Access to the active tab lets the popup show controls for the current site. Storage lets the extension remember your choices between visits.
If you turn on optional browser-wide privacy controls, the browser extension may ask for an additional privacy permission to change the settings your browser supports. You can decline and still use ad and tracker blocking. Browser-wide settings can affect other tabs, including sites where you pause automatic filtering.
The browser extension uses information obtained through Chrome APIs only to provide the protection and controls described here. Its use of this information follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Who can receive website and support information
Authorized staff and the providers we use for hosting, security, storage and email may process the information needed for their work. We may disclose information if required by law or when necessary to address abuse, protect our users or defend legal rights. We restrict access to inquiry records and use HTTPS for the website and contact form.
Nobash LLC is based in the United States. Our providers may process information there or in other countries. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for transfers. Where a legal basis is required, we rely on providing a service you request, our legitimate interests in operating and securing it, a legal obligation, or your consent, as applicable.
Your rights and privacy requests
To ask for access to, correction of or deletion of information Broxme holds about you, email hello@broxme.com or use the privacy request form. Include an inquiry reference if you have one. We may ask for information needed to confirm your identity.
Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to portability, restriction, objection or withdrawal of consent, or to complain to a data protection authority.
Studio beta requests are for adults. If you believe a child sent us personal information without the required authorization, contact us so we can review it.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page if our practices change and show the revision date above. You can use the same privacy contact to ask about a change or report a security concern.
