🐰 Hopper Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 2025
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Hopper is designed with privacy as a priority. We believe in transparent, minimal data handling that respects your privacy while providing valuable price comparison services.
What Information We Process
When you visit a supported retailer's product page, Hopper processes:
- Product Information: Product title, brand, model, and price from the page you're viewing
- Retailer Information: Which retailer's website you're shopping on
- Page URL: The current product page URL for context
Important: This information is only processed when you actively visit a product page on supported retailers. We do not track your browsing history or monitor pages outside of supported retail sites.
What We DON'T Collect
- Personal information (name, email, address, etc.)
- Payment or financial information
- Browsing history
- Cookies or tracking identifiers
- User accounts or profiles
- Location data
How We Use Product Information
Product information is used solely to:
- Search for price comparisons across other retailers
- Find similar or alternative products
- Display results in the extension popup
- Cache results temporarily (30 minutes) for performance
Data Storage & Retention
- Extension: Product data is stored temporarily in memory while you browse
- Server: Search results are cached for 30 minutes to improve performance
- No Permanent Storage: We do not permanently store any user or product data
- No User Profiles: Each session is independent with no user tracking
Third-Party Services
To provide price comparisons, we use:
- SerpAPI: For aggregating product prices from various retailers
- Retailer APIs: Direct connections to some retailers for accurate pricing
These services only receive product search queries, not any personal information.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some product links may include affiliate tracking codes. This means:
- We may earn a small commission if you make a purchase
- This does NOT affect the price you pay
- It helps support Hopper's development and keeps it free
- You can always navigate to retailers directly if preferred
Data Security
- All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption
- No sensitive data is collected or stored
- Our servers are secured and regularly updated
- We follow industry best practices for web security
Your Rights & Choices
- Control: The extension only activates on supported retail sites
- Disable: You can disable or uninstall the extension at any time
- No Account: Since we don't create user accounts, there's no data to delete
- Transparency: This policy clearly explains all data handling
Children's Privacy
Hopper is a general shopping tool and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The extension requires no age verification as no personal data is collected.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted here with an updated revision date.
Open Source Transparency
We believe in transparency. You can review our extension's code to see exactly how it works and verify our privacy practices.
