How We Keep Your Data Safe: A Deep Dive into Extension Security

Installing a browser extension requires trust. You are giving a piece of software access to your browsing experience. We take that responsibility incredibly seriously. Here is a transparent look at how FindPrices secures your data.

Read-Only, Context-Aware Permissions

Unlike some extensions that request "Read and modify data on all websites," FindPrices operates on a principle of least privilege. We only activate when we detect you are on a shopping site.

If you're reading the news or checking your email, FindPrices is dormant. It has no interest in your personal communications.

No Selling of Personal Data

This is our core promise: We do not sell your personal data.

Many "free" extensions make money by packaging your browsing history and selling it to data brokers. We reject this model. Our business is built on affiliate relationships with retailers, not exploitation of users.

Regular Security Audits

Our codebase undergoes regular review:

• Internal Audits: Every code change is reviewed for security implications.
• Chrome Web Store Review: Google's security team reviews every version of our extension before it is published to the store to ensure compliance with strict safety standards.

Data Minimization

We collect only what is necessary to find you a better price: the product URL you are visiting. We don't need to know your name, address, or credit card number to check if Walmart has a lower price than Amazon.

By minimizing the data we touch, we minimize the risk to you. If we don't have it, it can't be compromised.

Conclusion

Security isn't a feature; it's the foundation. We built FindPrices because we wanted a tool we felt safe using ourselves. We hope this transparency helps you feel safe using it too.
