Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

WaaFaa is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website or use our services.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information, usage information, cookies and similar data needed to improve your experience.

3. Browser Extension Data

Our browser extensions — Hide Shorts, Reels & Stories, PDFCraft and ImagePolish — do their work directly in your browser. Hide Shorts, Reels & Stories hides selected content, such as short-form video. PDFCraft converts images to PDF and merges PDFs. ImagePolish inspects images and removes hidden information from them. Your in-extension settings (for example, which content types to hide) are stored locally on your device and are never sent to our servers. Any file you open in PDFCraft or ImagePolish is processed entirely on your own device and is never uploaded to us or to anyone else. The extensions do not collect, transmit, or store your browsing history or the content you view, and we do not track your activity across websites.

Advertising in the extension popup

The Hide Shorts, Reels & Stories extension is free and is funded by promotional content shown inside its own popup — and nowhere else. This applies to that extension only: PDFCraft and ImagePolish carry no advertising of any kind. Nothing is ever added to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or any other website you visit. There are two kinds: a single contextual ad supplied by AdsOnBread, an advertising network for browser extensions, and two in-house promotional slots whose content we serve ourselves.

Pro is ad-free. An active Pro entitlement hides every promotional slot, and no ad is requested from AdsOnBread at all, so the rest of this section does not apply to a Pro installation.

Each time the popup is opened, free installations request the current in-house slot content from our own server at https://waafaa.com/wp-json/hide-shorts-reels/v1/ads. That request carries no identifier of any kind — no User ID and no query parameters — and returns the same response for every installation. As with any web request our server sees the connecting IP address, which is not stored alongside any identifier or used to build a profile.

To request that ad, the AdsOnBread SDK stores a randomly generated token and a 24-hour expiry time in local extension storage, and sends the unexpired token, your browser language, and ad impressions and clicks to AdsOnBread. This is used only to limit how often you are shown the same ad, for billing accuracy, and to prevent fraud. AdsOnBread also derives a coarse country from the network request. This information is not used for behavioural advertising or for profiling you across websites.

The token is random and rotates every 24 hours. It is not tied to your name, email, account, or browsing history, and neither the extension nor AdsOnBread receives the pages you visit or the content you choose to hide. The stored token is removed by clearing extension storage or uninstalling the extension. See the AdsOnBread privacy policy for their server-side retention schedule.

To check Pro access, the extension sends a randomly generated install User ID to our entitlement API at https://waafaa.com/wp-json/hide-shorts-reels/v1/entitlement. That ID identifies an installation, not a person — it is not your Google, YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram account. If you purchase a Pro subscription, we process only the licence details needed to verify your entitlement (such as the email associated with your purchase); all payments and billing data are handled by Freemius as our Merchant of Record. For details specific to each extension, see its listing on the Chrome Web Store, and the Hide extension privacy policy.
