# Privacy Policy for Grocery Coupon Clipper
**Last Updated:** January 9, 2026
## Introduction
Grocery Coupon Clipper ("we," "our," or "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome extension handles your data. We believe in transparency and want you to know that **we do not collect, store, share, or sell your personal information.**
## Data Collection and Use
**We do not collect any personal data.**
The Grocery Coupon Clipper extension operates entirely locally on your device. It does not transmit your browsing history, coupon data, login credentials, or any other personal information to us or any third-party servers.
## Permissions and Technical Information
To function correctly, the extension requires the following permissions, which are used solely for the stated purposes:
1. **Read and change your data on [specific retailer websites]:**
* **Purpose:** This permission is strictly used to identify "Clip/Load to Card" buttons on the coupon pages of supported retailers (e.g., Walgreens, Kroger, CVS) and to simulate a click action on your behalf to activate the coupons.
* **Scope:** The extension only runs on the specific grocery retailer domains listed in its manifest. It does not access or monitor your activity on any other websites.
2. **Storage (`storage`):**
* **Purpose:** We use the browser's local and sync storage APIs to save your extension usage preferences, such as:
* **Click Delay:** Your preferred speed setting for clipping coupons.
* **Batch Size:** Your configured limit for how many coupons to clip at once.
* **Usage Counters:** Simple counters (e.g., number of times the "Clip All" button is clicked) to determine when to show you a "Rate this extension" or "Buy me a coffee" notification.
* **Data Location:** This status data is stored locally within your Chrome browser profile. Use of `chrome.storage.sync` allows your settings to sync across your own signed-in Chrome devices, handled entirely by Google's infrastructure. We do not have access to this data.
## Third-Party Services and Links
The extension may contain links to external websites, specifically:
* **Buy Me A Coffee:** for voluntary user support.
* **Chrome Web Store:** for extension reviews and updates.
We do not integrate with third-party analytics or tracking services (like Google Analytics) within the extension itself. When you click an external link, you are subject to the privacy policy of that destination website.
## Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to distinguish it from the previous version or to comply with legal or store policy changes. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
