Privacy Policy for UnBuy
Last Updated: July 12, 2026
UnBuy ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how UnBuy collects, uses, and safeguards your information when you use our browser extension and visit our website (unbuyreturns.com).
UnBuy is built with a local-first architecture. This means your data is processed safely and locally on your machine to protect your privacy and secure your financial recovery, without invasive tracking.
1. Information We Collect
To provide our core automated return tracking features, the UnBuy browser extension securely parses specific transaction details locally within your browser:
- Order and Purchase Metadata: Item names, merchant thumbnails, order identifiers, price tokens, and calculated return eligibility dates from supported retailer pages (e.g., Amazon).
- Return Authorization Data: Barcode strings, return tracking numbers, and fulfillment drop-off location data generated during your return flows.
- Usage Data: Aggregated, non-identifying operational analytics to help us diagnose system performance and improve extension stability.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the data parsed by the extension solely to power your automated features:
- To dynamically calculate and monitor your retail return countdown windows.
- To generate your aggregated, unified "Mobile Pass" barcode sheets for retail counter scanning.
- To audit your final settlement status via our Refund Auditor to ensure your account is properly credited.
- We NEVER sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data, order histories, or browsing behaviors to third-party advertisers or data brokers.
3. Data Storage and Security
- Local-First Processing: The vast majority of your transaction tracking data remains cached locally in your secure browser storage (Chrome Storage API).
- Security Measures: Any metadata synchronized securely across your authenticated devices is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols.
4. Third-Party Services
UnBuy operates as a local layer alongside supported retail sites (such as Amazon). This policy does not apply to the data practices of those underlying retailers, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy agreements.
