Our Commitment to Privacy
Roblox Game Filter does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All data remains completely local to your browser. We have no servers, no databases, and no way to access your information.
Data Storage
The extension stores the following information locally on your device using Chrome's local storage:
- Keyword filters - Your custom list of words to filter games
- Display mode preference - Whether you prefer to hide or grey out filtered games
- Theme preference - Your choice between modern or classic theme
- Filter metadata - Timestamps and import status for organizational purposes
- Automatic backups - Up to 3 recent backups of your filters for data recovery
- Export format preference - Your default format choice for exporting filters
- UI preferences - Settings like disclaimer dismissal status
This data is stored primarily in local storage, which provides:
- Higher storage capacity (5-10MB vs 100KB for sync storage)
- Faster access and better performance
- More reliable storage for large filter lists
The extension attempts to sync your data to Chrome's sync storage for cross-device support, but if you have too many filters (exceeding the sync quota), it will only use local storage. This means:
- If sync is successful, your filters sync across Chrome browsers when signed in
- If sync quota is exceeded, your filters remain local-only
- Either way, your data is never sent to our servers or any third parties
- Sync functionality is handled entirely by Chrome's built-in system
Security Features
The extension includes multiple security measures to protect you:
- Input validation - All keywords are validated and sanitized to prevent malicious code injection
- File validation - Imported files are checked for size (1MB limit) and type (only .txt and .json allowed)
- XSS prevention - HTML tags, scripts, and dangerous characters are automatically removed
- Automatic backups - Your filters are automatically backed up (last 3 versions) to prevent data loss
If malicious content is detected in imported files, it will be blocked and you'll be warned. Only safe, validated keywords are added to your filters.
We still highly recommend you stay vigilant and double check ALL files before you import.
