Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 5, 2026 ยท Applies to version 0.1.0 and later
What the extension stores โ and where
- Your settings (shield on/off, shield level, custom keywords,
allowed sites) are saved with
chrome.storage.sync. They stay inside your browser. If you have Chrome sync enabled, Chrome itself syncs them across your devices through your Google account โ that is between you and Google; the settings never reach us. - Your stats (spoilers dodged today / all time) are saved with
chrome.storage.localand never leave your device.
How spoiler detection works
The extension reads the text of pages you visit inside your browser to check for GTA 6 spoiler terms, and covers matching content with a shield. This scanning is 100% local. Page content, URLs, browsing history and matched text are never collected, stored beyond the current page, or transmitted anywhere.
The one network request
The popup shows a small "Now Playing" widget with the music the developer is
currently listening to. To do that, opening the popup performs a single
GET request to https://cynicalsally.com/api/v1/now-playing
โ a site run by the developer. This request contains no personal data, no
identifiers and no information about your browsing. It only fetches a song title.
If the request fails (offline, blocked), the widget simply hides โ nothing else changes.
What we never do
- No analytics or telemetry of any kind
- No tracking, fingerprinting or cookies
- No accounts or sign-ups
- No ads
- No selling, sharing or monetizing data โ there is no data to sell
- No third-party services beyond the single request described above
Permissions, explained

Changes to this policy
If the extension ever changes what it does with data, this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date revised. Given that the whole point is blocking spoilers โ not collecting data โ don't expect much movement here.
