1. Introduction
FindPrices ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains
how we collect, use, and share information when you use our browser extension.
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal data necessary to provide our price comparison service:
- Product Data: When you view a product page, we analyze the visible text and HTML to
identify the product (Title, Price, Image).
- Account Information: If you sign in, we collect your email address and profile ID
via Google Authentication.
- Usage Data: We track the number of searches you perform to manage daily quotas.
3. How We Use Your Information - Identity & Google Auth
We use your Google Account information solely for:
- Identification: To create a unique user ID for managing your settings and savings
history.
- Quota Management: To track your daily search usage against free tier limits.
- Sync: To synchronize your "Total Savings" across your signed-in devices.
We do NOT sell your personal identity data. We do not use your email for marketing
unless you explicitly opt-in.
4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Processors
To provide our intelligent features, we must share specific non-personal data with trusted third-party
providers:
A. Artificial Intelligence (OpenAI)
- What is shared: When you view a product, we send the anonymized product text
(Title, Description, Price) to OpenAI.
- Purpose: To analyze the product details and generate accurate search queries for
finding deeper discounts.
- Privacy: OpenAI does not use your data to train their models. Data is processed
transiently.
B. Search & Pricing Data (SerpApi & Firecrawl)
- What is shared: We send the generated search query (e.g., "Buy Sony Headphones
Australia") to SerpApi and Firecrawl.
- Purpose: To search the web and extract live pricing from other retailers.
C. Advanced AI Search (Perplexity)
- What is shared: We may send search queries to Perplexity AI to identify niche
retailers or find complex deals.
- Purpose: To enhance search results when standard methods yield fewer options.
We do NOT share your browsing history. We only process the specific product page you are
currently viewing when you actively use the extension.
5. Monetization & Affiliate Disclosure
FindPrices is a free service supported by referral partnerships.
- Cashback Referrals: We receive a referral bounty when you use our links to sign up
for cashback services (e.g., ShopBack).
- Affiliate Links: Some product links may contain tracking codes that allow us to
earn a small commission on purchases, at no extra cost to you.
- Impartiality: Our AI sorts results strictly by Lowest Price. We do
not prioritize retailers based on commissions.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. Your API keys (if custom)
are stored locally on your device in encrypted storage.
