Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 14, 2026

Pioneerium, LLC ("Pioneerium," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Social Erase browser extension, the Privacy Screen — Automatic Blur & Screen Shield browser extension, and related services available through socialerase.net.

This Privacy Policy explains what information these products process, what information may be transmitted to our services, how that information is used, and the choices available to users.

License Identification

Social Erase and Privacy Screen use a license identifier to create, verify, restore, and administer Free or paid access.

Signed-in Chrome profiles

When a user is signed in to a primary Google account in Google Chrome, an extension may use the Chrome Identity API to obtain the obfuscated account identifier associated with that Chrome profile.

Social Erase and Privacy Screen may use this obfuscated identifier as the user's license key. The identifier allows our licensing service to recognize the license associated with the same signed-in Chrome profile and determine whether Free, Premium, or other paid access is available.

The obfuscated account identifier is a persistent, pseudonymous identifier. It is not the user's name, but it should not be considered anonymous information.

The Chrome Identity API may make both an email address and an obfuscated account identifier available to an extension. Social Erase and Privacy Screen use the obfuscated account identifier for licensing. We do not store or transmit the user's Chrome email address through this identity process.

Users without an available Chrome profile identifier

If the browser does not provide a signed-in profile identifier, the extension requests a randomly generated license identifier from our licensing service.

The generated license identifier is stored in the extension's local browser storage and is used to create, identify, and verify the user's license.

A generated license identifier is not based on the user's name, email address, social-media account, browsing history, or webpage content.

Browser compatibility and license continuity

Availability of a signed-in browser profile identifier depends on the browser, browser profile, sign-in status, and browser privacy settings.

Google Chrome may provide a persistent obfuscated account identifier when the user is signed in to the primary Chrome profile. Some compatible Chromium-based browsers, including privacy-focused browsers, may not provide that identifier or may require the user to enable browser-specific identity integration.

When a browser profile identifier is unavailable, Social Erase and Privacy Screen use a randomly generated license identifier stored in the browser's local extension storage.

A locally generated license identifier may no longer be available if the user:

• Clears extension or browser data
• Uninstalls and reinstalls the extension
• Resets, removes, or replaces the browser profile
• Uses a temporary or guest browser profile
• Uses privacy or cleanup settings that remove extension storage

If a locally generated identifier is removed, the extension may generate a new license identifier.

Users relying on a locally generated license identifier should copy and securely save the license key displayed by the extension. The saved key may help us locate or restore an existing license.

For the most reliable automatic license continuity, users may use Google Chrome while signed in to their primary Chrome profile. Other supported Chromium-based browsers may continue to use a locally generated license identifier.

License Verification Information

Social Erase and Privacy Screen may send the applicable license identifier to the licensing service in order to:

• Generate a Free license
• Verify whether a license is Free, Premium, or otherwise paid
• Activate purchased features
• Restore access associated with an existing license
• Determine whether a license is valid, expired, or revoked
• Prevent fraud, misuse, and licensing abuse
• Provide license-related messages and product notices

The licensing service may return information such as:

• The license identifier
• The product associated with the license
• The Free, Premium, or paid access level
• The license validity or expiration status
• License-related messages
• Important product or service notices

Technical Request and Server Information

When an extension communicates with our licensing service, or when a user visits socialerase.net, the server may automatically receive standard technical information associated with an internet request.

This information may include:

• The Internet Protocol address associated with the request
• The date and time of the request
• The requested webpage or licensing endpoint
• The browser, extension, or network user-agent value
• The server response status
• Diagnostic, error, security, or fraud-prevention information
• The referring webpage, when supplied by the browser

We use this information to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve our website and licensing service, and to investigate fraud, abuse, errors, or security threats.

Social Erase

Social Erase helps users perform user-requested cleanup actions on supported social-media webpages.

To provide these features, Social Erase may read and interact with relevant webpage elements inside the user's browser. This processing is necessary to locate available controls and perform the actions selected by the user.

Social-media webpage content is processed in the browser. The contents of posts, photos, comments, private messages, or account-activity pages are not transmitted to the licensing service.

Social Erase transmits the applicable license identifier and technical request information described in this policy to create, verify, and restore Free or paid access.

Social Erase does not sell social-media account information, webpage content, or license information. Social Erase does not use this information for personalized advertising.

Privacy Screen — Automatic Blur & Screen Shield

Privacy Screen visually protects webpage content by blurring or covering webpages, masking selected webpage elements, drawing privacy zones, and applying user-configured privacy rules.

To provide these features, Privacy Screen may process information inside the browser, including:

• Protection activation settings
• Inactivity timers
• Protection styles and blur strength
• Element-mask selectors
• Privacy-zone positions and dimensions
• Website-specific configurations
• Protection profiles
• Schedules
• Presentation Mode settings
• Custom shield settings
• Imported and exported settings

Webpage content, saved element masks, privacy zones, and uploaded shield images are processed locally in the browser and are not transmitted to the licensing service.

Privacy Screen transmits the applicable license identifier and technical request information described in this policy to create, verify, and restore Free or Premium access.

Locally stored Privacy Screen information

Privacy Screen may store the following information in the user's local browser profile:

• The license identifier
• Protection settings
• Per-site configurations
• Element masks
• Privacy zones
• Profiles and schedules
• Custom messages and display settings
• Uploaded shield images or logos

This locally stored information generally remains in the browser until the user deletes it, resets the extension, clears extension storage, removes the browser profile, or uninstalls the extension.

Chrome Sync

When an eligible Privacy Screen user enables supported Chrome Sync functionality, supported extension settings may be stored through the user's Chrome Sync account so those settings can be available on another Chrome installation.

Element masks, privacy zones, and uploaded shield images are not included in Privacy Screen's Chrome Sync data.

Information stored through Chrome Sync is also subject to Google's applicable privacy practices.

Payments

Paid Social Erase access and Privacy Screen Premium access may be processed by PayPal or another payment provider identified during checkout.

To associate a completed purchase with the correct extension license, the applicable license identifier may be provided to the payment processor as transaction metadata.

The payment provider may provide us with information necessary to confirm and administer the purchase, including:

• The license identifier
• A payment or transaction identifier
• The selected product or billing plan
• The payment status
• The purchase date
• The renewal, cancellation, or expiration date, when applicable
• The purchaser's email address when provided through the payment process

Pioneerium does not receive or store the user's complete payment-card number.

Payment information is also governed by the privacy policy and terms of the applicable payment provider.

Communications and Product Notices

The licensing service may return license-related messages, security notices, service notices, upgrade information, or important product announcements.

We do not use a Chrome profile identifier or generated license identifier to send unrelated email newsletters or personalized advertising.

If a user contacts support or provides an email address during a payment or support request, we may use that email address to respond to the request, administer the purchase, provide an important service notice, or resolve a licensing problem.

How We Use Information

We use the information described in this Privacy Policy only to:

• Provide the requested extension functionality
• Create and administer licenses
• Determine whether Free or paid features are available
• Maintain and restore license access
• Confirm and administer purchases
• Operate and secure our services
• Investigate fraud, misuse, errors, or security problems
• Provide support requested by users
• Communicate important license, product, or service information
• Maintain required transaction and accounting records
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not use license identifiers, Chrome profile identifiers, webpage content, or extension settings to create advertising profiles.

We do not use this information for personalized advertising.

We do not sell user information.

How Information Is Shared

We may disclose information only in the following circumstances:

• With hosting, infrastructure, database, security, email, payment, or technical service providers that process information on our behalf
• With PayPal or another identified payment provider when a user voluntarily purchases paid access
• With Google when a user enables functionality provided through Chrome or Chrome Sync
• When required by law, court order, subpoena, or other valid legal process
• When reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, abuse, security threats, or violations of applicable terms
• When reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of users, Pioneerium, or others
• As part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or sale of business assets, subject to applicable legal requirements

We do not share license identifiers, Chrome profile identifiers, webpage content, social-media content, or extension settings with advertising networks, data brokers, or information resellers.

Data Retention

License identifiers and associated licensing records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Provide and administer Free or paid access
• Restore purchased access
• Maintain transaction and accounting records
• Prevent fraud or licensing abuse
• Resolve support requests
• Comply with legal obligations

Security, diagnostic, and technical request records are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for service operation, troubleshooting, security, fraud prevention, and legal compliance.

Locally stored extension information generally remains in the user's browser profile until the user clears the extension's storage, resets the extension, removes the browser profile, or uninstalls the extension.

Uninstalling an extension does not automatically delete licensing, transaction, or support records already stored on our servers.

Access, Correction, and Deletion Requests

Users may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of licensing information associated with their license identifier.

A request should include the license identifier displayed by the relevant extension so that we can locate the applicable record.

Users should not send passwords, complete payment-card numbers, or other unnecessary sensitive information.

We may need to verify that the person making a request is authorized to access or modify the applicable record.

Deleting a licensing record may prevent us from verifying or restoring Free, Premium, or other paid access associated with that license.

Some transaction, accounting, security, or legal records may be retained when required by law or when reasonably necessary to prevent fraud or resolve disputes.

Security

Extension licensing communications use encrypted HTTPS connections.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect licensing and service information.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children's Privacy

Social Erase and Privacy Screen are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that information has been collected from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will comply with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our products, data practices, service providers, or legal obligations change.

The revised Privacy Policy will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.

When required, material changes may also be disclosed through the relevant extension, website, or another prominent notice.
