Last updated: March 2026 — We believe in plain language, not legalese.
We only collect what's necessary to make PricePulse work. Here's exactly what that means:
| Data type | Collected | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Account info (email, name) | ✓ Required | Sign in, account recovery |
| Product URLs & watchlist | ✓ Required | Price tracking core function |
| Price history per product | ✓ Required | Change detection & alerts |
| Anonymized usage patterns | With consent | Product improvement |
| Anonymized price trend data | With consent | Retailer insight reports |
We take a hard line on this. The following data is never collected under any circumstances:
| Never collected |
|---|
| 🚫 Browsing history outside of product pages you explicitly save |
| 🚫 Passwords or authentication tokens |
| 🚫 Payment card details (we use Stripe — we never see your card) |
| 🚫 Personal communications |
| 🚫 Data from minors under 13 |
| 🚫 Precise geolocation |
We use the following services to operate PricePulse. Each has its own privacy policy:
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database & authentication |
| Stripe | Payment processing (Pro/Teams plans) |
| Resend | Transactional emails |
| Twilio | SMS alerts (opt-in only) |
| Amazon Associates | Affiliate links on saved Amazon products |
| eBay Partner Network | Affiliate links on saved eBay products |
The PricePulse Chrome extension is designed with privacy at its core. Here is exactly what the extension does and does not do:
| Practice | Details |
|---|---|
| Watchlist storage | Stored locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local. Never transmitted to our servers unless you are signed in to a PricePulse account. |
| Price checking | The extension opens background browser tabs to check prices on product pages you have explicitly saved. These tabs are closed automatically after the price is read. |
| Pages accessed | Only product pages you have saved to your watchlist. The extension never reads, monitors, or transmits data from any other page you visit. |
| Affiliate links | When you click a product in your watchlist, an affiliate tag may be appended to the URL (Amazon: pricepulse0d-20). This generates a small commission at no cost to you. |
| Permissions used | tabs, activeTab, scripting, storage, notifications, alarms — each used solely for price tracking and alert functionality. |
| No keylogging | The extension never reads form inputs, passwords, or any typed content. |
| No cross-site tracking | The extension does not track your browsing activity across sites. |
You have full control over your data at all times. You can request to access, correct, export, or permanently delete your data by emailing [email protected]. We will respond within 72 hours.
You can withdraw consent for optional data collection at any time using the consent manager below, without affecting your core service.
