Privacy Policy

Blur Background — Free Virtual Camera

Last updated: July 15, 2026

This page explains, plainly, what this Chrome extension does with camera access and data. It describes the extension's actual technical behavior — it is not a legal document and should not be read as legal advice.

Camera access

The extension requests no special "camera" permission of its own. Camera access is granted by your browser to the website you're on (e.g. Google Meet, Zoom web) when that site calls getUserMedia(), exactly as it would without this extension installed. The extension intercepts the video stream your browser already handed to that site, applies a background blur to it locally, and returns the blurred stream to the site in place of the raw one.

Where your video is processed

All video processing happens on-device, inside your browser, using Google's MediaPipe on-device machine learning model (a selfie-segmentation model bundled with the extension, not fetched from a remote server at runtime). The blur effect is computed frame-by-frame directly in your browser's own JavaScript/WebGL context.

What is not collected

No video, image, or audio data is recorded, stored, transmitted, or sent to any server, by this extension or its developer. Nothing about your camera feed ever leaves your device. The extension has no backend server to send data to.

Accounts and sign-in

No account, sign-in, or registration of any kind is required to use this extension.

Analytics and tracking

The extension contains no analytics, telemetry, or tracking code of any kind. It does not monitor or report how, when, or where you use it.

Data stored locally

The extension saves your blur on/off preference and blur intensity setting using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.sync API, so your settings persist across sessions and sync via your own Google account the same way your browser bookmarks or other extension settings do. This is standard Chrome sync storage, not a server operated by this extension's developer.
