The Extension is a Chrome browser extension that helps you earn rewards on qualifying purchases, applies eligible coupons at checkout, and attributes commissions from affiliate networks.

The Extension collects data only while you are signed in to your Package Retriever account through the Extension popup. When you are not signed in, the Extension does not transmit browsing data to our servers. We enforce this property in code and audit it on each release; if we identify any deviation from this standard, we will publicly disclose it within seven (7) days of confirmation.

On supported retailer sites and search engines, while authenticated and on HTTPS pages only:

• Product information extracted from the page (name, price, brand, SKU, availability, image, category, rating);
• Shopping events (page views on product pages, variation changes, image views, add-to-cart, purchase confirmations);
• Search queries and results on search engines (including pagination and click-through);
• Coupon application results (code, success/failure, estimated savings);
• Engagement metrics (time on page, scroll depth, referring URL).

On AI assistant platforms (including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity), the Extension runs a shopping-intent classifier locally in your browser. The classifier inspects the text of your query and the AI's response only to determine whether the interaction is shopping-related.

If the classifier does not detect shopping intent: the response is ignored. Nothing is transmitted to our servers.

If the classifier detects shopping intent: we extract and transmit only (a) the product names referenced in the AI response, (b) the outbound links contained in the response, and (c) your query that produced the response. We do not transmit the full response text or any conversation history. The raw response text never leaves your browser.

For cross-session attribution, we may store your most recent shopping-relevant query in the Extension's local storage for up to five minutes, so that we can connect your research to a subsequent retailer visit.

The Extension does not:

• Collect or transmit passwords, authentication credentials, or checkout form fields;
• Collect or transmit payment card numbers, CVVs, billing fields, or bank account information;
• Record keystrokes, take screenshots, or capture audio or video;
• Collect personal health or medical queries or responses;
• Collect the contents of private messaging applications, email, or social media;
• Collect data on non-commerce pages where it has no functional purpose;
• Run on non-HTTPS pages.

Our use of information received from Google APIs and the Chrome Web Store complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We:

• Use data received from the Extension only to provide or improve its user-facing features (rewards, coupons, affiliate attribution);
• Do not sell data received through the Extension;
• Transfer data received through the Extension only as necessary to provide or improve user-facing features, comply with applicable laws, or as part of a merger or acquisition where the acquirer agrees to honor this commitment;
• Do not use data received through the Extension for serving personalized advertisements, other than contextual rewards and coupons presented within the Extension itself;
• Do not allow humans to read the Extension data, except with your affirmative consent, to perform security investigations, or to comply with applicable laws.

The Extension may cause a redirect through an affiliate tracking link on a partner retailer's site to establish a commission relationship. When you make a qualifying purchase, Package Retriever may earn a commission from the retailer or affiliate network. This is a “material connection” within the meaning of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255). These commissions fund the Rewards program and the Services.

Shopping events captured through the Extension are retained for thirteen (13) months for attribution and analytics. After that, data is deleted, anonymized, or de-identified, except where a longer retention is required for audit, fraud investigation, or legal obligation.

You may sign out of the Extension at any time, revoke individual permissions in your browser, or uninstall the Extension entirely. Uninstalling removes the Extension's local storage on your device. To exercise privacy rights with respect to data we have collected on our servers, see Sections 16–17 of our Privacy Policy.
