Storeprobe: Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-10-05
What the extension does
When you click it on a Shopify store, it reads that store's public product catalogue, compares it with your previous read of the same store, and shows what was launched, repriced or went out of stock. It reads only the tab you clicked on.
What happens to the stores you read
Nothing leaves your computer. The catalogue goes from the store to your browser, and Storeprobe keeps it in your browser's extension storage. It does not send the stores you read, their products or their prices to any server, and it has no analytics, no advertising and no account.
The extension asks for three permissions. Storage keeps your reads. Active tab and scripting let it read the tab you click on, and nothing until you do. It holds no permission for any website.
What one read requests
One click makes at most 10 requests, 250 products each, to the products list of the store in the tab, with 500 ms between them. They go to that store and to nobody else. The store sees them the way it sees any visit from your browser.
Data stored on your computer
- For each store you read: its address, the theme name, the apps and script hosts its pages load, and the catalogue as of your last read: product titles, handles, vendors, types, tags, publish dates, the first image address, and each variant's title, SKU, price, "was" price and stock status.
- What changed between reads: on Free the last change only, on Pro up to 30 changes per store.
- How many stores are kept: one on Free, up to 25 on Pro, within a size limit of about 8 MB in all.
- Your Pro licence key and pass end date, if you activate Pro, and the start and end dates of the free trial.
This data lives in your browser's extension storage. Uninstalling the extension deletes it. A CSV file you export is a normal file in your Downloads folder and is not deleted with the extension. The extension's settings page lists the stored stores and removes any of them.
Data that leaves your computer
Nothing, unless you take one of two actions.
- Activating Pro. Your licence key goes to our licence server at gigscope-api.exochard.workers.dev, which checks it with Payhip (the seller of record for Pro passes). The key is sent again from time to time while a pass is active, to check that it still is. Nothing else is sent with it.
- Pressing Send on the suggestion form, in the extension or on the roadmap page. The text you typed, your email address only if you entered one, and the Storeprobe version number go to the same server, so we can read and answer them.
In Firefox, the extension declares these two as optional data collection, and Firefox asks you before either is sent.
