Privacy Policy - Precify Browser Extension

Last updated: July 2025

1. Overview

The Precify Browser Extension (“the Extension”) allows users to compare Amazon product prices across multiple European marketplaces. This Privacy Policy explains what data the Extension collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

The Extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information. All data processing happens locally in your browser or is sent solely to our backend API for price comparison purposes.

2. Information We Access

The Extension accesses the following information when you visit an Amazon product page:

  • Product ASIN: The Amazon Standard Identification Number of the product you are currently viewing, extracted from the page URL or page content.
  • Product Title: The title of the product displayed on the Amazon page, used to show context in the comparison results.
  • Current Amazon Marketplace: The specific Amazon domain you are visiting (e.g., amazon.es, amazon.de) to determine your current region.

This information is accessed only on Amazon product pages and only when the Extension is active. No data is accessed on non-Amazon websites.

3. How We Use Your Information

The accessed information is used exclusively to:

  • Identify the product you are viewing by its ASIN to search for the same product on other Amazon marketplaces
  • Display price comparison results from different European Amazon stores
  • Provide direct links to the product on other Amazon marketplaces where it may be available at a lower price

The ASIN and product title are sent to our backend API to retrieve price data from other marketplaces. This data is processed in real-time and is not stored on our servers.

4. Permissions and Why We Need Them

activeTab

Used to access the current Amazon product page when you click the Extension icon, in order to extract the product's ASIN and title for price comparison. No data is accessed without explicit user action.

scripting

Used to inject a content script into Amazon product pages that detects the product ASIN, extracts the product title, and displays price comparison results as an overlay on the page. This is essential for the Extension's core functionality.

storage

Used to save your country preferences (which Amazon marketplaces you want to compare prices from) and display mode settings via chrome.storage.sync. This allows settings to persist across browser sessions and sync across devices. No personal data or browsing history is stored.

Host Permissions (Amazon domains)

Required because the Extension's core functionality is to detect products on Amazon pages and compare their prices across European Amazon marketplaces (amazon.es, amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.it, amazon.co.uk, amazon.com). The content script needs to run on these domains to extract product information and display price comparison results.

5. Data We Do Not Collect

The Extension does NOT collect or process:

  • Personally identifiable information (name, email, address, etc.)
  • Browsing history or websites visited outside of Amazon
  • Amazon account information or login credentials
  • Purchase history or payment information
  • Keystrokes or form data
  • Location data (GPS, precise geolocation)

6. Data Storage

The Extension uses chrome.storage.sync to store only the following non-personal settings:

  • Selected countries: Which Amazon marketplaces you want to compare prices from (e.g., Spain, Germany, France)
  • Display mode: How price comparisons are displayed on Amazon pages (header, inline, or floating widget)
  • Favorite countries: Your preferred countries for quick access

These settings are stored locally in your browser and synced via your Google account if Chrome sync is enabled. You can clear this data at any time by removing the Extension or by going to Chrome Settings → Sync → Manage what you sync.

7. Remote Code

The Extension does not use, load, or execute any remote code. All code is bundled within the Extension package. The Extension only makes API requests to our backend server to fetch price comparison data, but no code is loaded or executed from remote sources.

8. Amazon Affiliate Program

Important Disclosure:

Precify is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon. Precify is not affiliated with Amazon.com, Inc. When you click on product links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

This affiliate relationship does not influence our price comparisons or product recommendations. We strive to provide accurate and unbiased information to help you make informed purchasing decisions.

9. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. The only data transmitted outside your browser is the product ASIN and title, which is sent to our backend API to retrieve price comparison data. This data is not shared with any third parties.

When you click on a product link from the comparison results, you will be redirected to the corresponding Amazon marketplace, which has its own privacy policy.

10. Data Security

All communication between the Extension and our backend API is encrypted using HTTPS. We implement appropriate security measures to protect data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

11. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Uninstall the Extension at any time, which removes all stored settings
  • Clear the Extension's stored data via Chrome settings
  • Disable Chrome sync to prevent settings from syncing across devices
  • Request information about what data the Extension processes

12. Children's Privacy

The Extension is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date.
