The 4:8 Browser Privacy Policy

The 4:8 Browser is designed to help parents guide and protect their children's web access. We do not sell family information, distribute family information for advertising, or use children's browsing activity to build advertising profiles.

Information We Collect

Parents provide account information such as name, email address, family settings, child profile names, approved websites, blocked website rules, billing status, and notification preferences.

When a managed browser or Chrome extension is configured, it receives the family and child profile policy needed to enforce the parent's rules. The extension checks top-level page navigation against that policy. It does not send us a complete browsing history.

When access is blocked or a child requests access, we may receive the requested URL, normalized URL, child profile, reason for the block, and time of the event so the parent can review it in the dashboard.

How We Use Information

We use information only to provide, secure, support, and improve The 4:8 Browser service. This includes authenticating parents, syncing browser policy, enforcing approved and blocked site rules, showing blocked attempts and unblock requests to parents, maintaining subscriptions, and responding to support requests.

How We Share Information

We do not sell family information. We do not distribute client family information to advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated third parties.

We may use service providers that help operate the product, such as hosting, email delivery, SMS delivery, payment processing, diagnostics, and security services. These providers may process information only as needed to provide those services to us.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect the security of the service, or to prevent abuse or harm.

Children's Information

Child profiles exist so parents can apply browsing rules. We do not ask children to create public profiles, and we do not use child profile information or browsing events for advertising. Parents control child profile settings, approved sites, blocked sites, and unblock decisions.

Browser Extension Data

The Chrome extension uses storage to keep its configuration, cached policy, and policy sync time. It uses browser navigation permissions to evaluate top-level page navigation against the parent's policy and redirect blocked pages to a local blocked page.

The extension may communicate with The 4:8 Browser service to fetch policy, report blocked navigation, and send unblock requests. It does not execute remote code. Extension code is packaged with the extension.

Data Retention

We keep account, family, policy, and activity information for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain security. Parents may contact us to request assistance with account or family data.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect family information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, but we design the product to minimize unnecessary data collection and limit access to information.

Your Choices

Parents can update family settings, child profiles, approved sites, blocked sites, and notification preferences in the dashboard. Parents may also contact us for help with account access, data questions, or deletion requests.

Changes

We may update this policy as the product changes. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a new last updated date.
