1. Overview
Product Result Exporter is an open-source browser extension (Manifest V3) created by Daniel Main. Its purpose is to parse publicly rendered e-commerce product search results (e.g., from Amazon, Idealo, Otto, and Mercado Libre) and copy structured JSON directly to the user's system clipboard for personal use, data analysis, or prompt input in AI tools.
This policy details how the extension interacts with your browser, documents our complete adherence to data minimization, and explains why specific browser permissions are requested.
2. Information Collection and Handling
A. Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
The extension does not collect names, email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, payment credentials, authentication tokens, or account credentials.
B. Browsing History & Web Traffic
The extension does not track or monitor your browsing activity, history, or visited URLs. It only checks the URL of the current active tab when you explicitly click the extension icon to verify if the page belongs to a supported marketplace domain.
C. Product & Page Data
When you click "Copy Product Results JSON", the extension queries the local Document Object Model (DOM) of the active tab to extract public, already-visible product attributes (such as product title, price, star rating, product URL, and sponsor status). This processing occurs entirely in transient memory in your local browser tab.
D. Network Communications
The extension contains zero telemetry, analytics, tracking beacons, advertising scripts, or background connections. It makes no outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests to external servers or APIs.
E. Cookies and Persistent Storage
The extension does not read, write, or alter cookies, nor does it store tracking identifiers in localStorage or chrome.storage.
3. Chrome & WebExtension Permissions
In alignment with the principle of least privilege, the extension requests only the minimum permissions necessary to function:
| Permission | Type | Justification & Specific Use |
|---|---|---|
tabs |
API Permission | Used strictly to check whether the currently active tab is on a supported shopping domain before running the extraction. |
scripting |
API Permission | Allows injecting the local extractor script (content.js) into supported marketplace tabs if the tab was loaded prior to extension activation. |
clipboardWrite |
API Permission | Required exclusively to copy the generated JSON results directly to your operating system clipboard upon clicking the export button. The extension never reads clipboard contents. |
Host Permissions(Amazon, Idealo, Otto, Mercado Libre) |
Domain Match Patterns | Restricted solely to specified e-commerce domains so that the content script can locate and read public product listing cards on those specific search pages. |
4. Third-Party Services and AI Integration
While Product Result Exporter is designed to produce JSON convenient for pasting into AI assistants (such as OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini) or spreadsheets, no automatic integration or data transmission takes place.
Any pasting, processing, or sharing of your copied clipboard data with third-party applications is conducted entirely at your own discretion and is governed solely by the privacy terms of those third-party services.
5. Data Retention & Security
Because all data processing occurs ephemerally within the user's browser runtime and on the local clipboard:
- No Retention: There are no remote databases, logs, or cloud buckets storing your data. Once the tab is closed or your clipboard is cleared, the data ceases to exist in the extension's runtime.
- Security: All operations respect browser sandboxing and Content Security Policies (CSP). No dynamic code evaluation (e.g.
eval()) or remote code execution is utilized.
6. Regulatory Compliance (GDPR, CCPA & COPPA)
Because Product Result Exporter does not collect, process, or transmit personal data:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): We act neither as a data controller nor data processor. No personal data is stored or transferred outside your device.
- CCPA / CPRA: We do not sell, share, or monetize consumer personal information.
- COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act): The extension does not collect personal information from any user, including children under 13 years of age.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time (for example, when new supported shops or features are introduced). Any updates will be reflected on this page with an updated "Effective Date" at the top.
