Privacy Policy for RepCave Agent Switcher
Last Updated: April 3, 2025
RepCave Agent Switcher is a Chrome extension designed to assist users in switching between shopping agents on popular Chinese e-commerce platforms, including features for link redirection and adding a "VIEW QC" button. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle user data, ensuring transparency and compliance with Chrome Web Store policies.
1. Data We Collect
We collect the following types of data to provide and improve the functionality of RepCave Agent Switcher:
Usage Statistics: We collect anonymized usage statistics, such as the number of times you switch between shopping agents or click the "VIEW QC" button. This data helps us understand how the extension is used and improve its performance.
User Settings: We store your preferences locally, including the selected shopping agent, light/dark mode settings, custom background preferences, and language settings.
Web Activity: The extension monitors navigation on specific domains (e.g., taobao.com, cnfans.com, 1688.com) to enable automatic link redirection to the selected agent and to inject scripts that add the "VIEW QC" button. This involves tracking the pages you visit on these domains to fulfill the extension’s purpose.
All data is collected and processed locally within your browser and is not associated with your personal identity.
2. How We Use Data
We use the collected data solely for the following purposes:
To provide the core functionality of the extension, such as switching between shopping agents (e.g., CNFans, KakoBuy), redirecting links from e-commerce platforms (e.g., Taobao, Tmall) to agent sites, and adding the "VIEW QC" button.
To save and recall your settings and preferences for a seamless user experience.
To generate anonymized usage statistics that help us enhance the extension’s features and performance.
No data is used for advertising, profiling, or any purposes beyond the extension’s single purpose.
3. Data Storage
All data (usage statistics, user settings, and web activity) is stored locally on your device using the Chrome chrome.storage API.
We do not transmit any data to external servers, cloud services, or third parties.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your data to third parties.
We do not share your data for any purposes, including marketing, advertising, or analytics, outside of the extension’s functionality.
Your data remains private and is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable measures to protect the data stored locally on your device. However, since data is stored within your browser, its security also depends on your device’s security practices (e.g., keeping your browser and operating system updated).
6. User Choices and Rights
You can disable the extension at any time through the Chrome Extensions menu, which will stop the collection of usage statistics and web activity.
You can clear stored data (settings and statistics) by removing the extension or manually clearing Chrome storage via the browser settings.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy will indicate the latest revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
