# PrivacyGuard in Armenia 2026 — Chrome Privacy Extension in AMD + Armenian **Armenian translation coming soon.** ## Quick answer PrivacyGuard is a Chrome / Firefox / Edge browser extension that blocks ad trackers, surveillance scripts, and hidden fingerprinting. In Armenia, the free tier works out of the box; Plus costs ~1,500 ֏/month (AMD) and adds VPN + data-broker request workflows. Pay with Idram, Easy Pay, Tel-Cell, Arca card, Visa, or Mastercard. Aligned with the RA Law on Personal Data Protection (2015). Used by Yerevan / Gyumri / Vanadzor professionals, Armenian SMBs, and the diaspora in LA, Moscow, Paris, Toronto. ## Regulation — RA Personal Data Protection Authority Personal data in Armenia is governed by the RA Law on Personal Data Protection (2015), enforced by the Personal Data Protection Authority (Անձնական տվյալների պաշտպանության լիազոր մարմին). The law is broadly GDPR-inspired and gives Armenian residents rights over data collected about them, including the right to access, correct, and delete. PrivacyGuard supports these rights by (1) preventing unnecessary collection in the first place and (2) surfacing tools to request deletion from data brokers that have already collected data about the user. For Armenian businesses that handle EU-resident data (diaspora customers, for instance), GDPR also applies alongside the RA law. PrivacyGuard's enterprise tier helps smaller Yerevan-based businesses maintain a cleaner privacy posture without investing in heavy tooling. ## AMD pricing - **Free:** always free, blocks most trackers on most sites - **Plus:** ~1,500 ֏/month or ~15,000 ֏/year — adds VPN, data-broker removal, password-breach monitoring - **Business:** ~8,000 ֏/month for up to 10 seats, with admin dashboard and RA-compliance reporting ## Payment rails Idram (one-tap), Easy Pay, Tel-Cell, Arca card, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay.

PrivacyGuard Business is installed on every staff browser; the agency's client websites are audited quarterly to remove unnecessary third-party trackers (important both for user privacy and for load-time SEO). Cost: ~96,000 ֏/year for 10 seats. Replaces multiple paid Chrome privacy tools the agency was stitching together before. ## Diaspora angle A diaspora user in Los Angeles or Paris who travels to Armenia seasonally wants consistent privacy behaviour across jurisdictions — US / EU / Armenia have different regulatory frameworks but the underlying trackers are global. PrivacyGuard is regulation-agnostic: the extension blocks the tracker regardless of which legal regime applies to the data. ## PrivacyGuard vs. uBlock Origin vs. Brave - **uBlock Origin:** free, open-source, excellent at ad blocking; no consent-management, no VPN, no data-broker workflow - **Brave:** entire browser; powerful privacy defaults; asks users to switch browser - **PrivacyGuard:** browser extension with layered privacy, AMD billing, Armenian-language settings, RA + GDPR alignment ## Cross-product - [GeraCompliance](https://geracompliance.com/blog/geracompliance-in-armenia-2026) — RA personal-data-law + GDPR workflow for Armenian businesses - [Gera Prime](https://prime.gera.services/blog/gera-prime-in-armenia-2026) — bundles PrivacyGuard Plus - [GeraCash](https://geracash.com/blog/geracash-in-armenia-2026) — pay PrivacyGuard subscription in AMD ## Next step Install PrivacyGuard free from the Chrome Web Store.
