Privacy Policy
Last updated: 22 August 2026 · Publisher: Zocab (zocab.app)
Social Warden is a browser extension that helps you review, clean up, and protect your own social media accounts (currently Facebook). It is designed to keep your data on your own device. This policy explains exactly what happens to your data.
What data we collect
The browser extension does not collect or sell your personal data. Your lists never leave your device, and the extension itself runs no analytics or tracking. The optional web app at this site has an account system and a paid plan — what that involves is set out under "Accounts and the web app" below.
The extension processes the following on your device only:
- Your Facebook lists — the names, profile links, handles, and IDs of your friends, followed Pages, and joined groups, loaded so you can search, select, and act on them.
- Your action history — a local log of the friends/groups/Pages you removed.
- Your settings — pacing preferences, display language, and privacy toggles.
How data is stored
All of the above is stored locally in your browser. It stays on your device, is not synced to any server by us, and is not shared with us or anyone else. It is removed when you clear it in the app or uninstall the extension.
How data is used
Each item exists only to power a feature you trigger:
- Your lists are shown so you can search and select who to unfriend / unfollow / leave.
- The actions you confirm are carried out on Facebook, using your own logged-in session — the same as doing them by hand. We send those requests to Facebook on your behalf; we do not receive or store the results ourselves.
- History and settings personalize the app between sessions.
Third-party services
- Facebook — the extension acts on your own account, through your existing session, only for actions you confirm.
- VirusTotal — only when you choose "Scan link with VirusTotal" from the right-click menu, the extension opens VirusTotal with the link you selected. The link is shared with VirusTotal solely because you asked to scan it.
We run no advertising and sell nothing to data brokers. The extension sends us nothing at all; the web app uses the services listed under "Accounts and the web app" below.
Accounts and the web app
Using the web dashboard is optional, and browsing it needs no account. Signing in — required only to run bulk actions or to buy Pro — means we store the following on our servers:
- Your email address — from the Google account you sign in with. It identifies your account and links a purchase to it.
- Your plan and free usage — whether you are on Pro, and a count of the bulk actions you have used, so the free allowance can be applied.
- An identifier for the social account you are working in — the numeric account id your browser is already signed in to, recorded when you run a bulk action. We use it only to detect abuse of the free allowance, such as one person creating many accounts to get many free allowances. It is never shown to other users, never published, and never sold.
- Anything you send us on purpose — a problem report you write, or a screenshot you upload to claim bonus free actions.
- Usage analytics for the web app only — page views and feature events, so we can see what breaks and what gets used. This never includes your lists or the names of the people in them.
None of this applies to the extension on its own. If you never sign in, we store nothing about you.
Data retention and deletion
Your lists, history and settings stay on your device until you remove them. You can clear your history from the History screen, reload a list to replace the stored one, or uninstall the extension to delete all locally stored data.
Account data held on our servers — your email, plan, usage count, account identifier, and anything you sent us — is kept while your account exists. Email us and we will delete it.
Permissions
The extension requests only the permissions its features need — access to Facebook (to read your lists and perform your requested actions), local storage, a side panel, a right-click menu (for the VirusTotal scan), and a network-blocking capability used solely for the optional "Block Facebook Pixel" toggle. It does not read the content of other websites you visit.
Changes to this policy
If our data practices change, we will update this page and its "Last updated" date.
