Give a Penny is a Chrome browser extension that helps users make small charitable donations while shopping online. This Privacy Policy explains what information the extension collects and how it is used.
Give a Penny does not collect personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or financial account details.
The extension stores limited anonymous information locally on the user’s device, including:
• User-selected donation amount
• Selected charity
• Daily and monthly donation caps
• Donation activity history
• Blocked website preferences
• Anonymous installation identifier
This data is stored only to allow the extension to function properly.
Stored information is used only to:
• Remember user preferences
• Track pending donation totals
• Prevent duplicate transactions
• Display donation history
• Improve extension functionality
Give a Penny does not sell, trade, or share user data with third parties.
When users complete a donation, they are redirected to Every.org, a third-party nonprofit donation platform that securely processes transactions. Give a Penny does not process payments directly.
All data is stored locally in the user’s browser using Chrome’s secure storage systems.
Users can:
• Change donation settings at any time
• Turn the extension off
• Remove the extension to delete all locally stored data
