Privacy Policy

Summary

Molo is designed to do one job: detect the current Amazon product, compare that product's price across supported Amazon EU marketplaces, and show you when a cheaper option is available.

• Molo does not require you to create an account.
• Molo does not run its own analytics, advertising, or user-tracking system.
• Molo does not sell your personal information.
• Molo stores only the preferences and short-lived cache data needed to provide the feature.

Information processed on your device

When you open a supported Amazon product page, Molo reads limited product-page information in your browser so it can compare prices. This may include:

• the Amazon marketplace domain you are visiting
• the product ASIN contained in the page URL
• the product title shown on the page
• the displayed product price on the current page
• the current product page URL

This information is used to identify the same product across supported Amazon stores and calculate whether a better deal exists.

Data Molo stores

Molo stores the following data in browser extension storage:

• Preferences: your selected visibility settings, onboarding status, savings threshold, sort preference, and excluded countries.
• Short-lived exchange-rate cache: currency rates used to compare GBP, SEK, and PLN prices against EUR. These are cached for up to about 4 hours.
• Short-lived product comparison cache: recent per-ASIN comparison results stored locally for up to about 6 hours, capped at roughly 25 entries.
• Session-only dismiss state: if you hide Molo for a product during a browsing session, that hide state is stored only for the current tab session.

Network requests the extension makes

To compare prices, Molo makes a small number of external requests:

• Amazon product requests: Molo requests the matching product pages on supported Amazon marketplaces such as amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.it, amazon.es, amazon.nl, amazon.com.be, amazon.pl, amazon.se, and amazon.co.uk.
• Exchange-rate request: Molo requests current EUR exchange rates from open.er-api.com so non-EUR marketplaces can be compared fairly.

Like any standard web request, those services may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser user agent, and normal request metadata.

What Molo does not do

• It does not ask for or store your Amazon password.
• It does not read payment card data for its own records.
• It does not operate a separate marketing, profiling, or ad-targeting database.
• It does not sell or rent personal information to data brokers or advertisers.

Permissions

The extension uses Chrome permissions including tabs, activeTab, and storage so it can inspect the current product page, open a better deal in a new tab, and remember your settings.

The manifest currently requests broad host access, but Molo is designed to activate its price-comparison logic only on supported Amazon product pages. On unrelated pages, it does not show the comparison widget or run Amazon price checks.

Your choices

• You can change Molo's visibility and comparison preferences in the extension settings.
• You can disable the on-page widget from the extension's own options.
• Removing the extension stops all future page processing by Molo.

Third-party services and websites

Amazon marketplace pages and the exchange-rate provider operate under their own privacy policies and terms. When Molo sends requests to those services, or when you open a product page in a different Amazon store, your interaction with those services is governed by their policies.

Policy updates

This privacy policy may be updated if Molo's features, permissions, or data flows change. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
