BrowseX - How your data is handled and protected.
Effective date: 20 Jun 2026 · Version: 1.0.0.0 · Publisher: Hasnain Butt Akhtar
BrowseX is a Windows desktop web browser built on the Microsoft Edge WebView2 (Chromium) engine, with built-in ad and tracker blocking, privacy hardening, tab and workspace tools, downloads, and an optional media studio.
BrowseX is local-first. Your bookmarks, history, settings, and tabs stay on your device. BrowseX contains no analytics or telemetry SDKs and never sends your browsing activity to Hasnain Studio X.
We do not sell, share, or monetize user data.
BrowseX does not collect or send the following to the developer:
Name, email, phone number, or personal identity data.
The pages you visit, your history, bookmarks, searches, and tabs are never uploaded to us.
No analytics, usage tracking, or third-party telemetry SDKs are used.
BrowseX does not collect or transmit passwords, autofill data, or any account or keychain data.
Your theme, accent, privacy toggles, search engine, and other preferences are stored locally on your device.
Bookmarks, history, per-site permissions, per-site zoom, pinned apps, and your open tabs are kept on your device only.
The web engine stores cookies, cache, and site storage for the sites you visit, on your device. You can wipe a site with "Forget this site", clear data on exit, or use a Private window that saves nothing.
Shortcut icons are cached locally after being fetched directly from each site (see section 4).
If you enable App Lock, only a salted one-way hash of your passcode is stored. Your passcode itself is never stored.
Trial and Pro state is managed by the Microsoft Store and read locally; no purchase data is stored by the app.
As a web browser, BrowseX makes the network connections you ask it to. Every outbound connection it makes is listed below.
BrowseX loads the sites you navigate to using the WebView2 (Chromium) engine. You interact with those sites directly, and their own privacy policies and cookies apply. BrowseX does not send your browsing activity to Hasnain Studio X. Any account or sign-in data you enter on a website belongs to that website, not to us.
BrowseX blocks requests to a built-in list of known advertising and tracking hosts. This happens entirely on your device; no data about what was blocked is sent to us or any third party.
To show recognizable shortcut icons on the new-tab page and bookmarks, BrowseX fetches each site's icon directly from that site (its own /favicon.ico or apple-touch-icon). No third-party icon service is used, so your list of sites is not shared with anyone.
When suggestions are enabled, the text you type in the address bar is sent to DuckDuckGo's suggestion service to return matching results, and your local history is searched on your device. DuckDuckGo states it does not profile users. You can turn suggestions off in Settings.
If you enable Secure DNS, BrowseX resolves website addresses using encrypted DNS-over-HTTPS through Cloudflare, so your network operator cannot see the domains you look up. This is off unless you turn it on.
Depending on your settings, BrowseX may add "Do Not Track" and Global Privacy Control signals to requests, trim the referrer, block third-party cookies, reduce fingerprinting, and protect against WebRTC IP leaks. These are applied on your device or as request headers to the sites you visit; nothing is sent to us.
Translation uses Google Translate. The first time you use it, BrowseX asks for your consent and explains that the current page's address is sent to Google to return a translated version. Nothing else about you is shared, and you can decline.
If you choose to load a browser extension, it runs with the permissions you grant and is governed by that extension's own behaviour and policy, not by BrowseX.
BrowseX is a paid app with a Microsoft Store managed free trial. Payment, billing, and trial state are handled by the Microsoft Store under Microsoft policies.
BrowseX does not process or store payment card details.
BrowseX requests internet access (it is a web browser) and runs as a full-trust desktop app. Site access to your camera, microphone, location, and notifications is requested by individual websites and is controlled by you per site, with a global camera and microphone kill switch available in Settings. Permissions are used only for app functionality and not for data harvesting.
BrowseX is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.
If this policy changes, we will update the effective date and version on this page.
