Privacy Policy for Ruko - Impulse Purchase Blocker

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Ruko ("we," "our," or "us") handles information when you use our Chrome extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Ruko is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, or transmit:

• Personal information (name, email, address, etc.)
• Browsing history or website data
• Purchase history or shopping behavior
• Location data
• Device information
• Any data that could identify you personally

3. Information We Store Locally

The only data stored by Ruko is kept locally on your device using Chrome's storage API:

• Protection State: Whether the extension is currently active (on/off)
• Blocked Counter: A simple count of how many purchase buttons have been blocked (for motivational purposes)

This data is stored locally in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

4. How Ruko Works

Ruko operates entirely on your device by:

• Identifying purchase buttons on e-commerce websites
• Applying visual effects (blurring) to make buttons less clickable
• Maintaining a local counter of blocked interactions
• Providing a simple on/off toggle for the protection feature

5. Permissions Used

Ruko requests the following Chrome extension permissions:

• Storage: To remember your protection preferences locally
• Active Tab: To communicate with the current webpage
• Tabs: To identify which tab to apply protection to
• Host Permissions: To work on e-commerce websites

These permissions are used solely for the extension's core functionality and do not involve data collection.

6. Third-Party Services

Ruko does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks. The extension operates independently without external data transmission.

7. Data Security

Since we don't collect any personal data, there's no personal information to secure. The minimal local data (protection state and counter) is stored securely using Chrome's built-in storage mechanisms.

8. Children's Privacy

Ruko does not collect any information from users of any age. Our extension is safe for users of all ages as it operates without data collection.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Modified" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

10. Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there's no personal information to access, modify, or delete. You can:

• Uninstall the extension at any time
• Reset the blocked counter through the extension's interface
• Toggle the protection on/off as needed

11. Compliance

This privacy policy is designed to comply with:

• Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies
• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
• Other applicable privacy laws
