iBrowe Browser Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how iBrowe Software collects, uses, and protects information from users of the iBrowe browser. It reflects our commitment to privacy by design and ensures full compliance with global privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.

Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

1. Overview

iBrowe is a browser designed to protect user privacy by default. It blocks tracking and unwanted ads, and this policy applies to the use of the iBrowe browser and related features such as iBrowe Shields and iBrowe Rewards. We aim to minimize personal data collection and rely on privacy-preserving mechanisms like on-device processing.

2. Data We Collect

iBrowe collects limited information, categorized as follows:

Information Provided by Users:

  • iBrowe Rewards: If you opt in to iBrowe Rewards (to view ads and earn iBrowe Attention Tokens or "iBOW"), you may be asked to provide information such as an email address for linking a crypto wallet.
  • iBrowe Account: Email or subscription details (e.g., for iBrowe Premium).
  • Contacting iBrowe: Such as email content sent to our support team.

Automatically Collected Information:

  • Usage Data: Anonymous data on how the browser functions, such as feature usage and button clicks.
  • Statistics: For example, the number of ads blocked by iBrowe Shields.
  • Crash Reports: Only if you opt in, crash data is sent anonymously (no IP or personal info).
  • iBrowe Rewards and Ads: Ad interaction data is processed on-device. Tipping data is anonymized.

3. Purpose of Data Use

To enhance browser performance and features, facilitate the operation of iBrowe Rewards and iBrowe Ads (e.g., managing BAT rewards), and conduct anonymized data analysis to support product development. We also use data to respond to user requests, such as providing customer support. iBrowe limits data collection to what is strictly necessary and avoids sharing personally identifiable information.

4. Data Sharing

iBrowe shares data only in limited and specific circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We work with trusted partners who are contractually obligated to adhere to strict privacy and data protection standards.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose data when required to comply with a valid legal process.
  • iBrowe Rewards: Certain information necessary for processing rewards may be shared with authorized partners.

iBrowe does not sell your personal information under any circumstances.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as needed to provide services. Anonymized data may be stored longer for analytics. Users may request deletion of their personal data at any time.

6. User Rights

You may access, correct, delete, or transfer your data, and object to its processing under laws like GDPR and CCPA. EU users may contact their local authority. Reach us at privacy@ibrowe.com.

7. Security

iBrowe uses security measures such as encryption and access controls. Most data is processed locally to reduce the risk of exposure.

8. Privacy Features

iBrowe blocks ads and trackers, prevents third-party tracking, offers reward-based private ads, and supports anonymous browsing with Tor mode.

9. Privacy Settings

Users can customize settings such as disabling anonymous usage metrics, adjusting iBrowe Shields (Standard or Aggressive), and more via Settings > Privacy and Security.
