RedPath is built to know as little about you as possible.
Nothing is sent to us. RedPath has no servers, no accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, and no third-party services. The developer receives no data of any kind from your use of the extension.
When you run a search, your browser sends that search term directly to the public search pages of the supported retailers (eBay, Amazon, Walmart, and the others listed on the store page). It works the same way it would if you typed the term into each store’s own search box.
Those requests are sent without your cookies or login sessions, so retailers see an anonymous search rather than your account. They go only to the retailers named in the extension’s permissions, and RedPath cannot contact any other site. They happen only when you press Search or “Detect product on this page”, never in the background.
Each retailer’s own privacy policy governs what they do with a search request they receive, the same as when you search their site directly.
The following is kept in Chrome’s local extension storage. It stays on your device and is never synced.
Deciding which listings are genuinely the product you searched for, and dropping accessories, wrong models and different product types, happens entirely on your device. RedPath uses its own built-in keyword and category engine for this. No titles, queries, or results are sent to the developer or to any outside service, because no such service exists.
Uninstalling the extension deletes all of it.
RedPath may tag links to stores with an affiliate ID, which earns the developer a commission on purchases at no extra cost to you. This is disclosed inside the extension whenever it is active. Following such a link may set a cookie in your browser owned by that store or its affiliate network, governed by their policies. RedPath itself still collects nothing about you.
“Detect product on this page” reads the product name from the page in your
current tab. It runs only when you click the button, using Chrome’s temporary
activeTab permission. The name fills the search box. It is not stored, and it
is not transmitted anywhere except as part of the search described above.
If this policy ever changes, the updated text ships with the extension update and is dated at the top.
RedPath is developed by Karen Contreras Cubas, based in California, United States. For any question or privacy request, email karenc.cubas@gmail.com, or reach out through the extension’s store listing.
