GiveRefer Chrome Extension — Privacy Policy

1. Summary

The Extension helps you find GiveRefer referral offers only on the brand websites GiveRefer supports. It does not run on other websites. It does not collect your browsing history, and it never sells your data.

2. What the Extension Accesses

• The current site’s address — only on supported brand sites, and only to match a referral offer for that site. The Extension’s content scripts are registered exclusively for the supported domains fetched from our server; on every other site nothing runs.
• Anonymous usage events — we record non-identifying events such as “offer shown”, “code copied”, or “view offer clicked”, along with the related store and the surface (banner or popup). These events contain no name, email, account ID, or page content.
• Local storage on your device — we cache the list of supported domains, display throttles (so prompts aren’t repetitive), and, if you sign in, your session token.

3. How We Use It

To detect whether a supported referral offer exists for the page you are on, to display offers and referral codes, to measure aggregate funnel performance (e.g. how often offers are shown vs. used), and to operate account features if you sign in.

4. Accounts & Sign-In

Signing in is optional. If you choose to sign in, you authenticate through the normal GiveRefer website login, and we issue a token that is stored locally in the Extension and used to call your account’s API endpoints. While signed in you can save referral codes to your account and manage your referral page. You can sign out at any time, which revokes the token.

5. Permissions We Request

• storage — cache the supported-domain list, display throttles, and your sign-in token.
• tabs — open the tracked GiveRefer offer page when you choose to view an offer.
• scripting — register the on-page UI only for supported brand domains.
• alarms — periodically refresh the supported-domain list.
• identity — complete the optional sign-in flow.
• host access — required so the Extension can run on any supported brand domain; actual execution is restricted to the supported list, not all sites.

6. Data Sharing & Selling

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it with third parties for advertising. Anonymous usage events are used only by GiveRefer to operate and improve the Extension.

7. Retention

Locally cached data remains on your device until you clear it or remove the Extension. Aggregate, anonymous usage events are retained for analytics. Account data is retained per the main GiveRefer Privacy Policy.
