Privacy Policy for FinSight Pro

Last Updated: January 24th, 2025

Introduction

At Fin$ight, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome Extension collects, uses, and protects any information you provide while using the extension. By installing and using Fin$ight, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Fin$ight does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

Our extension operates locally in your browser and processes data only as needed to provide the functionality of the extension.

Specifically:

1. Stock Ticker Data:

• The extension processes highlighted stock tickers in your browser to retrieve financial data (e.g., stock prices, P/E ratios, metrics). This data is used solely to display the requested information in the popup.

• No highlighted text or stock ticker data is transmitted to our servers or third parties.

2. API Usage:

• The extension uses the Finnhub API to fetch real-time stock market data. These API requests are anonymous and are not associated with any identifiable user information.

Data Usage

All data processing occurs locally in your browser. We do not:

• Collect or transmit browsing activity.

• Store any user data on external servers.

• Share data with third parties.

The data fetched via the Finnhub API is displayed directly in the extension popup and is not stored or logged.

Permissions

The Fin$ight Chrome Extension requests the following permissions to function:

• Active Tab: This allows the extension to detect and process stock tickers highlighted on the current tab.

• Scripting API: Used to execute scripts that retrieve the highlighted stock ticker text.

These permissions are required only to enable the core functionality of the extension and are not used for any other purpose.

Third-Party Services

The extension relies on the Finnhub API to fetch financial data.

Cookies

The Fin$ight extension does not use cookies.

User Control

You can disable or uninstall the Fin$ight Chrome Extension at any time by visiting your browser’s extensions page (chrome://extensions).

Data Security

We are committed to ensuring your information is secure. Since the extension does not transmit or store any personal data, the risk of unauthorized access is eliminated. Additionally, any communication with third-party APIs is secured via HTTPS.

Children’s Privacy

The Fin$ight Chrome Extension is not intended for use by children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. Updates will be posted with the “Effective Date” noted at the top of this policy.
