Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ASTools respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. We believe in transparency and minimal data collection.

2. Data We Collect

• Install ID — an anonymous identifier used solely for aggregated usage statistics. It is not linked to your identity.
• Anonymous usage events — which tabs and features you use within the extension, not what you view on any website.
• Extension settings and preferences — stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

We want to be explicit about what we never access:

• Personal information (name, email, address)
• Passwords or login credentials
• Browsing history outside AliExpress and Shopify
• Product data or purchase history
• Credit card or financial information

4. Affiliate Links

We may redirect product links through affiliate programs. This happens once per product page visit and is how we keep the extension free. No personal data is transmitted during this process.

5. Data Storage

All analysis data runs client-side in your browser. No product data leaves your device. Usage statistics are anonymized before transmission. Extension preferences are stored locally using Chrome's storage API and are never sent to our servers.

6. Third-Party Services

• Chrome Web Store — used for extension distribution and automatic updates.
• Anonymous analytics — we collect anonymous usage patterns to improve the extension. No personally identifiable information is included.

7. Your Rights

• Uninstall the extension at any time to stop all data collection immediately.
• Clear extension data via Chrome settings.
• Contact us for any privacy concerns or data requests.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
