Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 24, 2026

PromoIQ ("we", "our", or "the extension") respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle data when you use our browser extension.

Data We Collect

PromoIQ collects only the minimum data necessary to provide its core functionality:

• Product information: When you activate the extension on a supported retailer page, we read the current page to identify product names, prices, and promo code fields.
• Local preferences: Your settings and savings statistics are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API.
• Savings data: The savings dashboard tracks codes applied and discounts found — stored entirely on your device, never sent to our servers.
• Promo code validation: Anonymous, aggregated code success/failure signals may be sent to our backend to improve code confidence scores for all users. No personal data is included.

We do NOT collect:

• Browsing history
• Personal information (name, email, address)
• Payment information
• Data from non-retailer websites

How We Use Data

Product information is used solely to:

• Find and validate promo codes for your current shopping session
• Compare prices across supported retailers

Data is processed in real-time and is not stored on our servers after your session ends.

Extension Permissions Explained

• activeTab: Allows the extension to read the current page only when you click the extension icon.
• storage: Saves your preferences and savings statistics locally in your browser.
• contextMenus: Adds a right-click option to quickly search for deals on selected text.
• Host permissions (20+ retailers): Required to detect products, apply promo codes, and compare prices on supported shopping sites including Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Nike, and more.

Third-Party Services

We use Firebase (Google Cloud) to process promo code lookups and price comparisons. Firebase's privacy policy applies to this data processing.

Affiliate Disclosure

PromoIQ may earn commissions from affiliate links when you make a purchase. This does not affect the price you pay. Affiliate relationships are disclosed transparently.

Data Security

All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption. We do not store personal data on external servers.

Your Rights

You can uninstall the extension at any time to stop all data processing. Local data can be cleared through Chrome's extension settings.

Changes to This Policy

We will update this page if our practices change. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance.
