YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS Hide does not track your browsing activity, record the pages you visit or content you view, follow you across websites, or sell your data. Your filter settings are stored on your device and are not sent to us. Free accounts send a random installation ID to our server to check the account plan. This ID is not linked to personal information. Pro accounts store your name and email for licence verification and support. Payments are handled by Freemius, and we do not see your card details. The free popup ad is supplied by AdsOnBread. A random token that changes every 24 hours is sent to the ad network to help prevent repeated ads. Partner and sponsor placements are fetched from our server. Pro removes ads and sponsor placements from the popup.
