No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected by the extension itself.

3. Why We Collect This Data

• To notify users about price drops or matching deals
• To sync selected items to the user's Paynles.com account (if logged in)

4. How Data is Stored and Handled

• Data is stored locally in the browser using Chrome's storage API
• Optional sync to Paynles.com if signed in (secured and encrypted)
• We do not share or sell your data with any third party
• We do not track or record activity outside supported product pages

5. Chrome Permissions

6. Affiliate Disclosure (Amazon Requirement)

We do not share your data with Amazon. Their own cookies and tracking may apply once you leave our extension.

7. Cookies and Tracking

The extension itself does not use cookies or third-party trackers. However, when visiting retailer sites (like Amazon), those sites may apply cookies according to their privacy policies. We do not access, modify, or interfere with these cookies.
