We are committed to safeguarding your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how the "Original AliExpress Image Search Shortcut" (referred to as "the Extension") operates, what data it accesses, and how that data is handled. Our goal is to provide full transparency regarding our practices.
The Extension is a productivity tool designed to simplify product searches. It allows users to search for similar items on AliExpress by right-clicking any image on the web. The Extension then opens a new tab and automates the search process directly on the official AliExpress platform.
Important Disclosure: The Extension participates in the AliExpress Affiliate Program.
Monetization: When you use the Extension to perform a search and subsequently make a purchase on AliExpress, the Extension may append an affiliate ID to the URL. This allows us to earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.
User Impact: This process does not increase the price you pay for any item. It simply helps support the ongoing maintenance and development of this free tool.
Consent: By installing and using the Extension, you acknowledge and agree to the use of affiliate links for the purpose of monetization.
No Personal Data: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII), such as your name, email, browsing history, or search habits.
Image URLs: The Extension only processes the URL of the image you explicitly choose to search. This URL is passed directly to AliExpress to execute the search and is not saved or logged by us.
Local Operation: All core scripts and resources are stored locally. No external servers or remote code are utilized to monitor your activity.
To function correctly, the Extension requires the following permissions:
activeTab: To retrieve the image URL from the current page when the user triggers the search.
contextMenus: To add the "Search Image on AliExpress" option to your right-click menu.
scripting: To automate the image search process on the AliExpress search page for a seamless user experience.
tabs: To open and manage the search results in a new tab.
storage: Requested for potential future preferences (e.g., language settings), though currently not in use.
Host Permissions (.aliexpress.): To allow the Extension to interact specifically with AliExpress domains to perform searches.
The Extension interacts solely with AliExpress. Your use of AliExpress is governed by the AliExpress Privacy Policy. We do not share your data with any other third parties.
The Extension is designed to be "action-based," meaning it only activates upon your direct command (right-click). It does not run persistent background processes or track you across the web.
