Privacy policy

Last updated: 2026-11-02

1. What the extension reads

When you add a store, the extension requests that store's public catalog endpoints (/products.json, /meta.json and /cart.js) to read published product information such as titles, prices, compare-at prices, availability, SKUs, weights, image counts and description length. It does this again on the schedule you choose. Requests are sent without cookies. When you open the panel, a small script checks the current tab's page markup to tell whether it is a Shopify storefront that can be added; nothing from that page is stored unless you add the store.

2. Where data is stored

Everything the extension saves (your list of stores, the last product snapshot, issues, change history, ignored products, snoozed checks and settings) is kept in your browser's extension storage on your device. Change history is deleted automatically after 90 days.

3. What is shared

Nothing. The extension has no servers, no analytics, no advertising and no account. The developer never receives your data. The only network requests go to the stores you added.

4. Your choices

You can remove a store, export your data as CSV or JSON, import a backup, or delete everything with "Clear all data" in Settings. Uninstalling the extension also removes all its data.

5. Children

The extension is a business tool and is not directed at children.

6. Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date.
