GIF Control Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 30, 2026
GIF Control does not collect, store, sell, or share personal information.
GIF Control works locally in your browser to detect animated GIF and animated WebP images on the pages you visit, pause them, and let you play them manually. To provide this feature, the extension may access image URLs and page content necessary to identify and control animated images.
GIF Control does not:
- Collect personal data
- Track browsing history for advertising or profiling
- Sell or transfer user data to third parties
- Use analytics, remote code, or third-party advertising
GIF Control stores only the extension’s on/off preference using the browser’s extension storage so your setting persists across sessions.
Some image files may be fetched by the extension only to determine whether they are animated, and this is done solely to provide the extension’s core functionality.
If you contact us through the website or a bug report form, any information you choose to submit will be handled only for support purposes.

Extension disclosure summary
GIF Control reads image resources on webpages only to determine whether a GIF or WebP is animated and to let the user pause or play those animations. Data is processed locally for the extension’s single purpose and is not sold or used for advertising.
