Privacy, in plain English

Last updated November 11, 2026. See also our terms of service.

What we collect

Your email address and a securely hashed password (or, if you sign in with Google, your name, email address and Google account ID instead of a password). For each lookup a protected device makes, we record which profile and device it came from, the website name (for example tiktok.com), whether we blocked it, and when. If you link your home network for router setup, we also store your home's public internet address so we know which family it belongs to. We don't see the pages your family visits, what they type, or any messages.

If you add the Sheepdog Filter Chrome extension to your child's Chrome, it sends us only the website name of each page your child opens (for example tiktok.com, never the full address or the page itself), so we can check it against your rules. It's recorded the same way as a lookup above. The extension stores nothing else and sends nothing to anyone but Sheepdog Filter.

Why

To filter the internet the way you asked, to show you weekly reports, and to count lookups for the free plan. That's it.

What we never do

We never sell your data, never show you ads, and never share browsing data with anyone except the providers that run our service (Cloudflare for hosting, Stripe for payments, Amazon Web Services for email and some filtering servers, and Google if you choose to sign in with Google).

How long we keep it

Lookup records are kept for about three months, then deleted automatically. If you delete your account, we delete your settings right away.
