Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how MerchRoyal ("we", "our", or "us") handles user information within our Chrome Extension and on the merchroyal.lakiup.com website.

2. Data Collection & Usage

We respect your privacy. The MerchRoyal Chrome extension operates entirely within your local browser sandbox:

• No Personal Information Collected: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal identification info, search histories, or credentials.
• Local Processing: All BSR calculation, estimated monthly sales analytics, and brand trademark checking are computed locally on your device. We do not run external analytics databases that record your queries.
• Amazon Interactions: The extension queries details from Amazon listings in the background solely to display search metadata on your browser page. These network calls communicate directly with Amazon servers, utilizing your current local cookies.

3. Local Storage Permissions

The extension requests permission to write to Chrome's local storage database (`chrome.storage`). This storage is used exclusively to cache Amazon BSR details locally. Caching prevents redundant requests, optimizes listing speed, and reduces CAPTCHA occurrences.

4. Third-Party Websites

We do not share any data with third-party tracking providers, advertisements networks, or brokers. The extension only talks directly to the user's active regional Amazon marketplace endpoints.

5. Revisions to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected with a revised update date. Your continued use of the extension constitutes acceptance of the current policy terms.
