Chrome extension — data practices

The PricePulse Chrome extension is designed with privacy at its core. Here is exactly what the extension does and does not do:

PracticeDetails
Watchlist storageStored locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local. Never transmitted to our servers unless you are signed in to a PricePulse account.
Price checkingThe 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 accessedOnly product pages you have saved to your watchlist. The extension never reads, monitors, or transmits data from any other page you visit.
Affiliate linksWhen 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 usedtabs, activeTab, scripting, storage, notifications, alarms — each used solely for price tracking and alert functionality.
No keyloggingThe extension never reads form inputs, passwords, or any typed content.
No cross-site trackingThe extension does not track your browsing activity across sites.
