Privacy-first by design

Privacy Policy

Talon Defender runs locally in your browser and is designed to collect as little data as possible.

Last updated: December 28, 2025

No telemetry or analytics Data stays local by default HTTPS + signed updates

Data collection

  • License verification (paid users): When you enter a license key, the extension sends the key, a device identifier, and the extension version to verify your subscription.
  • Community rule updates: The extension downloads signed community bundles from Talon Defender servers (api.talondefender.com) to keep protection current. The request does not include personal identifiers.
  • No telemetry or analytics: Talon Defender does not collect browsing history, usage analytics, or third-party tracking data.

Local storage

Settings, allowlist entries, license status, and community bundle metadata are stored locally in the browser extension storage. Some license data may also be synced using Chrome sync storage if available on the device.

Data sharing

Talon Defender does not sell or share user data with advertisers or data brokers. Data sent for license verification is used only to validate subscriptions.

User controls

  • You can remove your license key at any time from the Settings footer.
  • You can allowlist specific sites to keep ads visible.
  • You can disable or uninstall the extension at any time.

Security

All remote requests use HTTPS. Community rule bundles are verified with SHA-256 integrity checks and Ed25519 signatures before activation.
