What RedPath collects

Nothing is sent to us. RedPath has no servers, no accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, and no third-party services. The developer receives no data of any kind from your use of the extension.
What happens when you search

When you run a search, your browser sends that search term directly to the public search pages of the supported retailers (eBay, Amazon, Walmart, and the others listed on the store page). It works the same way it would if you typed the term into each store’s own search box.

Those requests are sent without your cookies or login sessions, so retailers see an anonymous search rather than your account. They go only to the retailers named in the extension’s permissions, and RedPath cannot contact any other site. They happen only when you press Search or “Detect product on this page”, never in the background.

Each retailer’s own privacy policy governs what they do with a search request they receive, the same as when you search their site directly.
What is stored on your device

The following is kept in Chrome’s local extension storage. It stays on your device and is never synced.

Your most recent search term, along with your match-mode, condition-filter and sort preferences, so the popup restores your place.
Your light or dark theme choice.
Your eBay developer key (App ID and Cert ID) and the short-lived access token derived from it, if you choose to connect the eBay API. These are used only to call eBay’s official API directly from your browser. They are never sent to the developer or any third party, and you can remove them at any time from the options page.
Your Best Buy developer key, if you choose to connect the Best Buy API. It is used only to call Best Buy’s official API directly from your browser. It is never sent to the developer or any third party, and you can remove it at any time from the options page.
Affiliate IDs, if the developer has set any. These are public tracking IDs used to tag outbound store links. They are not personal data and are never sent to the developer.


Match filtering

Deciding which listings are genuinely the product you searched for, and dropping accessories, wrong models and different product types, happens entirely on your device. RedPath uses its own built-in keyword and category engine for this. No titles, queries, or results are sent to the developer or to any outside service, because no such service exists.

Uninstalling the extension deletes all of it.
Affiliate links

RedPath may tag links to stores with an affiliate ID, which earns the developer a commission on purchases at no extra cost to you. This is disclosed inside the extension whenever it is active. Following such a link may set a cookie in your browser owned by that store or its affiliate network, governed by their policies. RedPath itself still collects nothing about you.
Page scanning

“Detect product on this page” reads the product name from the page in your current tab. It runs only when you click the button, using Chrome’s temporary activeTab permission. The name fills the search box. It is not stored, and it is not transmitted anywhere except as part of the search described above.
Changes

If this policy ever changes, the updated text ships with the extension update and is dated at the top.
