Your Privacy Matters Because GuardVio interacts with browsing activity, privacy is a central part of the product. GuardVio follows a data-minimization approach and collects information needed to provide its filtering, account, progress, notification, and other features. GuardVio does not sell your personal data and does not use your browsing data to serve targeted advertising. GuardVio also states that it does not share your browsing history or blocked-site data with advertisers or data brokers. What Data Does GuardVio Collect?
