Privacy Policy

The short version

Maple is a Chrome extension that tracks product prices on Amazon and Newegg. During launch testing, local tracking is free and your tracked-product list, target prices, and locally observed price history stay on your device. To show Amazon market history, Maple sends only the product's Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) to our backend and Keepa. Pro checkout is currently disabled. If Pro returns later, we will store only the minimum needed — your tracked items, license key, and email — to run background price checks, validate a subscription, and send alerts. We never sell your data, never inject affiliate links into your purchases, and never track your general web browsing.

What we collect

We collect only what's needed to do the job you asked for:

• Products you choose to track. For each item you track, we store the retailer, product ID, product title, product URL, product image URL, current price, all-time-low price, target price, and currency.
• Amazon price-history lookups. When Maple requests Amazon market history, it sends only the product's ASIN to our Supabase Edge Function. The lookup does not include your email, product-page URL, product title, or browsing history.
• Your email address and license key — paused Pro service only. These would be provided at checkout and during license activation if Pro returns. New checkout and activation are currently disabled.

We do not collect names, payment card details (those are handled by our payment processor — see below), browsing history, or any product page you didn't explicitly choose to track.

Where it's stored

• Free users. Your tracked-product list, target prices, and locally observed history are stored in your browser using chrome.storage.local. Amazon market-history responses are cached on your device for up to 12 hours. Our server may cache the same non-personal history by ASIN for up to 12 hours. If you uninstall the extension, its local data is removed.
• Pro users. In addition to local storage, your tracked items, email address, and license key are stored in our backend database. This is what lets Maple re-check prices in the background (Amazon and Newegg), verify your Pro subscription, and email you when a price drops — work that can't happen on a device that's turned off.

What we don't do

• We never sell or rent your data to anyone.
• We never inject affiliate links into your Amazon purchases, and we don't take a commission on anything you buy.
• We do not track your general web browsing. The extension only reads the product page you are actively viewing on Amazon or Newegg — and only to extract the price and product details for items you track.
• We don't run third-party advertising or analytics trackers inside the extension.

Service providers (sub-processors)

To operate Maple we rely on a small number of trusted service providers. We share data with them strictly to run the service, never for their own marketing:

• Lemon Squeezy — processes Pro payments and issues license keys. Lemon Squeezy is our Merchant of Record and handles your billing details.
• Supabase — hosts the database where Pro users' tracked items, email, license key, alert preferences, and price history are stored. It also runs the Amazon history lookup and temporarily caches history by ASIN.
• Resend — sends your price-drop alert emails.
• Keepa — provides Amazon price-history data using the product's ASIN. No personal data is sent to Keepa.

Permissions the extension requests

Chrome asks you to approve certain permissions when you install Maple. Here's exactly why each one is needed:

• storage — to save the products you choose to track.
• alarms — to schedule periodic price re-checks and license re-validation.
• notifications — to show you a notification when a tracked item hits your target price.
• Host access to amazon.com and newegg.com — to read the price and product details on the product page you are viewing on those sites. Maple does not request access to any other websites.

Your rights and choices

• You can stop tracking any item at any time from inside the extension.
• You can uninstall the extension to remove all locally stored data from your device.
• Pro users can email us to request deletion of any data we hold in the cloud. We'll action verified requests promptly.
• You can cancel your Pro subscription at any time via Lemon Squeezy; see our Terms of Service.

Children

Maple is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to how we handle your data, we'll update this page and revise the effective date at the top. Continued use of Maple after an update means you accept the revised policy.
