# Privacy Policy for Reddit Hide Seen

Effective date: July 6, 2026

Reddit Hide Seen is a Chrome extension that hides posts on the new Reddit UI after those posts have already appeared in the user's feed.

## Data the Extension Handles

The extension handles only the data needed for its single purpose:

- Reddit post identifiers and post permalinks for posts that have appeared in the user's viewport.
- Timestamps used to keep the local seen-post history bounded.
- Extension settings, such as whether hiding is enabled and which popup language is selected.

The extension does not collect names, email addresses, account identifiers, passwords, messages, payment information, location, health information, or financial information.

## How the Data Is Used

The extension uses locally stored Reddit post identifiers to recognize when the same post appears again and hide it from the supported Reddit feed UI.

The extension settings are used to remember the user's preferences, including enabled/disabled state and popup language.

## Where the Data Is Stored

All data is stored locally in the user's browser using `chrome.storage.local`.

The extension does not operate a server, does not upload extension data to any server, and does not sync the seen-post history to any external service.

## Sharing and Selling Data

The extension does not sell user data.

The extension does not share user data with third parties.

The extension does not use user data for advertising, analytics, creditworthiness, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to hiding already-seen Reddit posts.

## User Controls

Users can:

- Disable hiding from the extension popup.
- Clear the local seen-post history from the extension popup.
- Remove all extension data by uninstalling the extension from Chrome.

## Permissions

The extension uses:

- `storage` to keep local seen-post history and extension settings.
- Static content script match patterns for `https://www.reddit.com/*`, `https://new.reddit.com/*`, and `https://sh.reddit.com/*` so it can detect and hide already-seen posts only on supported new Reddit pages.

The extension does not run on `old.reddit.com`.

## Changes

This policy may be updated if the extension's data handling changes. The latest version will be available in this repository.
