PrivacyPolicy
How we collect, use, and protect your personal information
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you install the extension, create an account, subscribe to a plan, or contact support. This may include your name, email address, and account information.
- Account information (name, email address, hashed password)
- Subscription and billing details (plan type, billing cycle, transaction references)
- Support communications and feedback you send us
- Technical data such as browser type, extension version, and device information
Browser Extension & Permissions
Our browser extension analyzes storefront pages you choose to visit in order to generate competitive insights. The extension requests only the permissions necessary to deliver its features, and we handle all data obtained through the extension in accordance with this policy and the limited-use requirements of the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons platforms.
- Page content: the extension reads the publicly visible content of the Shopify store page you are viewing to build the analysis report
- Site access: access is limited to storefront pages required by the current analysis request
- Local storage: preferences and cached analysis results may be stored locally in your browser
- Account sync: when signed in, analysis history and settings may be synced to your account
We do not sell extension data, and we do not use it for advertising, creditworthiness, or lending purposes. You can revoke the extension's permissions at any time through your browser settings or by uninstalling the extension.
Store Data We Analyze
The insights we provide are generated from publicly available information about Shopify storefronts, such as product listings, prices, tags, and publicly accessible storefront signals. This data generally relates to businesses and products rather than to individuals.
- Public product listings, prices, and category information
- Publicly visible storefront metadata and theme identifiers
- Aggregated and estimated metrics derived from public signals
- Change history generated from repeated public observations over time
If you are a store owner and believe that information about your store has been processed improperly, please contact us using the details in this policy and we will review your request.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate the extension and platform, to generate and store analysis results, to manage subscriptions, to communicate with you, and to comply with legal obligations.
- To generate store analysis reports and competitive insights
- To create and manage your account, plans, and entitlements
- To process subscription payments and prevent fraud
- To provide customer support and respond to your requests
- To monitor, secure, and improve the Services
Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal information only where we have a valid legal basis to do so. Depending on your jurisdiction and how you use our services, this may include:
- Performance of a contract (providing the services you requested)
- Your consent, which you may withdraw at any time
- Compliance with legal obligations
- Legitimate business interests that do not override your rights
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that took place before your withdrawal.
Third-Party Services
The Services rely on trusted third-party providers for hosting, payments, analytics, and similar functions. These providers are contractually required to protect personal information and to use it only for the purposes we specify.
- Payment card details are handled by our payment providers and are not stored on our servers

- Links to third-party websites are governed by those websites' own privacy policies
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites that you access through the Services.
International Data Transfers
We may process and store your personal information outside your country of residence. When we transfer personal data internationally, we take appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable law, to ensure your data is protected.
- Data may be processed on servers located in other regions
- We rely on recognized legal safeguards for cross-border transfers
- Your rights continue to apply regardless of where data is processed
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
- Account data is retained while your account is active
- Transaction records are kept for legal and accounting purposes
- We may retain limited data longer where required by law
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Cookies

- Essential cookies required for login and security
- Preference cookies that remember your settings
- Analytics cookies used in aggregate to improve the Services
- Local storage in the extension for cached analysis and preferences
