Privacy Policy – Automatedhacks.Com Web Scraper

Last updated: September 26, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how the Chrome extension Automatedhacks.Com Web Scraper (“the Extension”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) handles information when you install and use it in your browser. This policy is designed specifically for this extension and does not apply to any other products, services, or websites.

  1. About the Extension

The Automatedhacks.Com Web Scraper is a Chrome extension that enables users to collect publicly available product information (such as product names, descriptions, prices, barcodes, and images) directly from e-commerce websites. The Extension is designed for research, analysis, and productivity purposes.

  1. Information We Collect

The Extension may access the following data categories during use:

Website Content

The Extension reads and extracts product information displayed on e-commerce pages that you, the user, explicitly choose to scrape.

This may include text (titles, descriptions), numbers (prices, barcodes), and images that are already visible on the web page.

We do NOT collect or access:

Personally identifiable information (e.g., names, email addresses, phone numbers)

Authentication or login information (e.g., usernames, passwords, session tokens)

Financial or payment data (e.g., credit card numbers, bank account details)

Personal communications (e.g., emails, chat messages, private posts)

Web history or browsing activity outside the specific tab you choose to scrape

Device location, IP addresses, or system information

  1. How the Information Is Used

The extracted website content is used solely to display results within the Extension interface.

At your request, the Extension may export the extracted data to a file format (such as CSV or JSON) and save it to your local device using Chrome’s Downloads API.

The data is processed locally in your browser. It is not transmitted to any remote servers operated by us.

  1. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share any data collected by the Extension with third parties.

We do not use collected data for advertising, analytics, or profiling purposes.

We comply with Chrome Web Store policies regarding user data handling.

  1. Permissions Explanation

The Extension requires certain Chrome permissions to function correctly:

tabs – to detect the active tab and inject scripts when you trigger scraping.

scripting – to inject and execute scripts on e-commerce pages for extracting product details.

downloads – to allow saving scraped data to your computer when you request export.

webRequest – to capture specific product data (e.g., structured JSON responses) required for scraping.

contextMenus – to provide right-click options such as “Scrape this page” for user convenience.

storage – to save your extension preferences and settings locally.

host permissions – to read website content from e-commerce domains chosen by you.

These permissions are used only for the purposes described above and nothing else.

  1. Data Security

Because all scraping is performed locally in your browser, your data remains under your control. The Extension does not transmit data externally. We rely on Chrome’s security architecture to protect the extension environment.

  1. User Control

The Extension only activates when you explicitly interact with it (e.g., by clicking the extension icon or selecting a context menu option).

You may disable or remove the Extension at any time via your Chrome browser settings.

You may delete any exported files stored on your device at your discretion.

  1. Children’s Privacy

The Extension is not designed for or directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

  1. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in functionality, policies, or Chrome Web Store requirements. If significant changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
