Privacy Policy for Proxy Switcher

Effective date: August 15, 2026

Proxy Switcher allows users to configure and use a proxy server selected and supplied by the user.

1. Information stored locally

The extension stores the following information in Firefox local extension storage:

• Proxy hostname or IP address
• Proxy port
• Selected proxy protocol
• Optional proxy username
• Optional proxy password
• Connection status
• Interface theme preference

This information is used only to provide the proxy configuration functionality requested by the user.

1. Proxy traffic

When the proxy connection is enabled, browser traffic is routed through the proxy server selected by the user. The selected proxy provider may process this traffic according to its own terms and privacy policy.

Users should only use proxy servers and proxy providers they trust.

1. Proxy authentication

Optional proxy credentials are transmitted only when the selected proxy server requests authentication. The extension does not send proxy credentials to ordinary website authentication prompts.

1. Test Proxy feature

Only when the user clicks the Test Proxy button, the extension sends a request to https://ipwho.is/ to display the current public IP address and approximate city and country.

The response is displayed in the extension popup. Proxy Switcher does not use this information for analytics or advertising.

1. Analytics and advertising

Proxy Switcher does not contain:

• Advertising
• Analytics
• Telemetry
• Tracking technologies
• Affiliate links
• Remote executable code

The extension developer does not collect, sell or share locally stored proxy settings or credentials.

1. Security

Firefox local extension storage is not a dedicated password vault. Users should protect their Firefox profile and device from unauthorized access.

1. User control

Users can disable the proxy connection, clear all saved proxy information from the extension or uninstall the extension at any time.

1. Contact

For privacy questions, contact the extension developer using the support email listed on the Mozilla Add-ons page.
