Privacy Policy

eBay VAT Extractor (Chrome Extension)

Last Updated: 13/05/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the "eBay VAT Extractor" Chrome Extension ("the Extension") handles your data. My core philosophy is simple: Your data is yours. The Extension does not collect, store, or transmit your personal data.

1. Data Collection & Usage

The Extension operates entirely locally within your web browser. When you run the Extension, it reads the visible text on your eBay Purchase History page and specific hidden Order Details pages to identify and compile Buyer Protection Fee VAT figures.

No External Servers: The Extension does not connect to any external servers, databases, or third-party analytics services.
No Account Data Saved: We do not log, save, or transmit your eBay username, passwords, purchase history, financial details, or any other personal information.
Local Processing Only: All data extraction and CSV file generation happens exclusively on your own device. The resulting CSV file is downloaded directly to your local hard drive.

2. Permissions Explained

To function correctly, the Extension requests specific browser permissions. Here is exactly what they are used for:

activeTab: Allows the Extension to verify you are currently on the eBay Purchase History page before initializing the user interface.
scripting: Allows the Extension to run the local JavaScript engine required to parse the text and dates on your eBay pages.
tabs: Allows the Extension to temporarily open and close the "Order Details" sub-pages required to find the VAT amounts not shown on the main history page.
Host Permissions (*://*.ebay.co.uk/*, *://*.ebay.com/*): Restricts the Extension so it can only ever run on, and read data from, official eBay websites.

3. Third-Party Links

The Extension contains a single external link to a "Buy Me a Coffee" page for voluntary donations. Clicking this link is entirely optional. If you choose to visit that site, please be aware that their privacy policies and data collection practices will apply.

4. Changes to This Policy

If there are any material changes to how the Extension functions or handles local data, this Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect those changes. Since the Extension does not collect user contact information, it is your responsibility to review this page periodically.

Fee Reveal for eBay Seller Hub

Last Updated: 01/07/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how "Fee Reveal for eBay Seller Hub" handles your information.

1. Data Collection

Fee Reveal for eBay Seller Hub does not collect, store, transmit, or share any of your personal, financial, or account data. We believe in privacy by design.

2. How the Extension Works

The Extension is a local-only tool that functions entirely within your browser:

It temporarily reads order information visible on your eBay Seller Hub dashboard to help you organize your data.
It performs local calculations and displays these results directly in your browser window.
No information processed by the Extension is sent to our servers, third-party services, or any external database.

3. Local Storage & Permissions

The Extension requests the storage permission exclusively to cache calculated fee data locally on your computer. This improves page performance by preventing redundant network requests. This data remains on your machine and is never shared. It can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser’s extension data. The extension also requests host permissions for eBay domains to allow it to inject the necessary fee columns into your dashboard.

4. External Links

The Extension contains links to "Buy Me a Coffee" for voluntary support. If you choose to click these links, you will be directed to the Buy Me a Coffee website, which is governed by its own privacy policy.
