Enterprise Deployment Documentation

Deploy Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker across your organization using your existing management tools. Complete guides for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Privacy-First Enterprise

Ghostery is a privacy company, and our enterprise offering reflects that. Here's what makes us different:

What Ghostery does: Blocks ads, trackers, and protects employee privacy while browsing. Configuration is deployed once via your existing management tools.

What Ghostery does NOT do:

  • No admin dashboard or console — There is no central portal to manage or monitor the extension after deployment.
  • No user surveillance — We do not track, log, or report employee browsing activity back to IT administrators.
  • No personal data collection — Ghostery never collects personal information. Any data processed by the extension is architecturally non-linkable to individual users.
  • No browsing profiles — We cannot build profiles of user behavior. Our WhoTracks.Me system collects only atomized tracker observations that cannot be linked across requests or traced back to any individual.

Ghostery protects your employees from third-party tracking — we would never become the tracker ourselves. Configuration policies are applied locally on each device through standard browser management. The extension connects to Ghostery only for filter list updates and to submit non-linkable tracker statistics to WhoTracks.Me.
