TikBlock does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any user data with anyone, ever. Everything the extension stores stays on your own device. There are no servers, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind.
What TikBlock stores
TikBlock saves a small amount of data locally in your
browser, using Chrome's built-in
storage.local API:
- Your whitelist — the specific TikTok video, profile, or page links you've explicitly chosen to allow.
- Protection status — whether blocking is currently enabled, and any pending disable request.
This data never leaves your device. It is not sent to TikBlock's developer, to TikTok, or to any third party. Uninstalling the extension deletes it.
What TikBlock does not do
- It does not collect personally identifiable information, health data, financial data, credentials, or personal communications.
- It does not track your location.
- It does not log or transmit your browsing history.
- It does not monitor or record clicks, keystrokes, or scroll activity — it only reacts to them in real time to enforce blocking, and nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
- It does not use analytics, telemetry, or any third-party SDKs.
- It does not communicate with any external server.
Why TikBlock needs its permissions
- Host permission for tiktok.com — required to block requests to TikTok and to resolve shared short links (e.g. vt.tiktok.com) so they can be checked against your whitelist.
- declarativeNetRequest — used to block TikTok pages by default and allow only your whitelisted entries through.
- storage — used to save your whitelist and protection status locally, as described above.
- webNavigation — used to detect when a blocked TikTok navigation fails, so TikBlock can show its own page instead of a generic browser error.
