Ad Hush privacy policy

Effective November 7, 2026

What Ad Hush reads

To tell when an ad is playing, Ad Hush looks at the video player on the sites it works on: Twitch, YouTube, Netflix and Prime Video, and any other site you turn it on for with Enable here. It checks the player for the signs a site uses to mark an ad, such as an “Ad” label or a countdown. It doesn’t read anything else on the page, and it doesn’t look at what you watch, search for or type.

What it keeps, and where

• Your settings (which sites it works on, what the cover shows) are saved in your browser’s extension storage. If you use Chrome sync or Firefox Sync, your browser syncs them to your other computers through your Google or Mozilla account, like any extension’s settings.
• Your stats (how many ad breaks it muted and for how long) and minigame best scores are saved in your browser on this computer only.
• The sites you added are kept by your browser as the site permissions you granted. You can remove them in the popup or in your browser’s extension settings.

Ad Hush sends none of this anywhere. It makes no network requests of its own, has no account, and uses no analytics or tracking.

Notifications

When an ad break ends while you’re on another tab, Ad Hush can show a notification through your computer’s notification system. You can turn this off in the popup.

The ads themselves

Ad Hush doesn’t block ads or change what sites send: ads still load and play, muted and covered. What the site and its advertisers collect while they play is covered by that site’s own privacy policy.

Removing it

Removing Ad Hush from your browser deletes everything it saved.

Changes

If Ad Hush ever starts storing or sending anything new, we’ll update this policy before that version is released, and change the date above.
