CAPTAIN COMPLIANCE: GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL (GPC) EXTENSION

Take control of your privacy online with Captain Compliance’s GPC Extension — a lightweight, powerful tool that automatically communicates your privacy preferences to every website you visit. Built for privacy professionals and everyday users alike, it helps ensure websites respect your right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data.

AUTOMATIC GPC SIGNALS
Sends a standardized Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal with every page request. This tells websites that you’ve opted out of data sale and sharing under state privacy laws.

REAL-TIME TRACKER MONITORING
Detects and flags 24 common marketing and targeting trackers so you can verify whether your opt-out choice is being honored.

PRIVACY-FRIENDLY BY DESIGN
Performs all analysis locally within your browser — no personal data is transmitted externally.

VISUAL STATUS INDICATOR
The browser icon changes color to reflect your current privacy state:
• Gray — GPC off
• Blue — GPC active and respected
• Red — GPC active and Targeting Trackers detected

LIGHTWEIGHT AND TRANSPARENT
Runs quietly in the background with minimal resource use. Implements the Global Privacy Control specification using open standards and transparent methods.

WHY IT MATTERS

At least twelve U.S. privacy laws, including California’s CCPA and CPRA, require support for Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms (UOOMs) and/or the Global Privacy Control (GPC).

By automatically sending a valid GPC signal, this extension helps ensure your browser communicates your opt-out preferences consistently across all supported jurisdictions — without relying on intrusive pop-ups or repeated banner clicks.

PRIVACY AND DATA HANDLING

Captain Compliance’s GPC Extension is private by design. It does not transmit or store any personal data outside your device.

The extension locally reads cookies and tracking scripts in your browser solely to identify whether marketing or performance trackers are active on the current page. This analysis occurs entirely on-device — no browsing data, cookies, or scan results are ever sent to external servers.

In short:
• No personal data collected
• No data shared, sold, or transmitted
• All analysis performed locally for transparency and trust

TRANSPARENCY AND TRUST

Captain Compliance is committed to open standards and accountability. The GPC Extension implements the official Global Privacy Control specification and operates fully client-side, providing users with a verifiable and transparent way to communicate opt-out preferences online.
