Privacy Policy — Pluck
Pluck ("the extension") is a browser extension that detects repeated lists of items on the web page you are viewing and exports them to a CSV file on your device. This policy explains what data Pluck does and does not handle.
Summary
Pluck collects nothing. It has no accounts, makes no network requests of its own, contains no analytics or tracking, and sends no data to the developer or to any third party. Everything happens locally in your browser.
What data Pluck accesses
When you explicitly invoke Pluck — by opening its side panel and clicking Detect — it reads the content of the page you are currently viewing in order to find the repeated list and extract its fields (such as titles, prices, image URLs, and links). This processing happens entirely on your device. The extracted data is shown to you as a preview and, when you click Export, written directly to a CSV file that you download. Pluck does not transmit this content anywhere.
Pluck does not access pages in the background. It reads a page only on your explicit action, and only the page you are actively viewing.
What data Pluck stores
Pluck uses your browser's local storage (chrome.storage) to keep your preferences and the in-progress extraction state — for example, the list you selected, the columns you chose, and scroll progress. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted. You can clear it at any time by removing the extension.
Data Pluck does NOT collect
Pluck does not collect, store off your device, sell, rent, or share any:
- personally identifiable information (name, address, email, ID numbers)
- authentication information or passwords
- financial or payment information
- health information
- personal communications
- location
- web browsing history
- general user activity or analytics
Pluck makes no network requests of its own and operates no servers.
Permissions
Pluck requests only the permissions needed for its single purpose — extracting the visible list on a page to CSV:
- activeTab and an optional host permission — to read the page you point it at, on your explicit action.
- scripting — to run the extraction logic inside that page.
- downloads — to save the CSV to your device.
- storage — to keep local settings and extraction state on your device.
- sidePanel — to show Pluck's interface.
None of these are used to collect or transmit data.
Third parties
Pluck shares no data with third parties, because it collects no data and makes no network requests.
Children's privacy
Pluck is a general-purpose productivity tool, is not directed at children, and collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL with a new effective date.
