Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how YellowPages Scraper ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our Chrome extension, website, and dataset services.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Chrome Extension

The YellowPages Scraper Chrome extension stores all scraped business listing data locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage API (chrome.storage.local). We do not upload, transmit, or store your scraped data on any external server.

When you activate a paid plan, we collect:

• Your email address (for license management)
• A unique installation identifier (for device binding)
• Usage metrics (capture and export counts — not the data itself)

1.2 Website & Contact Forms

When you submit a contact form or dataset inquiry, we collect:

• Name, email address, and company name
• Message content and subject
• Dataset configuration preferences (scope, format, etc.)

1.3 Dataset Purchases

When you purchase a dataset, we collect:

• Email address (for order fulfillment and delivery)
• Payment information (processed securely by Stripe — we do not store card details)
• Order details (scope, format, freshness tier)

1.4 Automatically Collected Information

Our website may collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics services for behavioral profiling.

2. How We Use Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve our services
• To process dataset orders and deliver files
• To manage extension licenses and subscriptions
• To respond to support and sales inquiries
• To prevent fraud and enforce our terms of service
• To send transactional emails (order confirmations, license delivery, support responses)

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not send unsolicited marketing emails.

3. Third-Party Services

• Stripe: Payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy applies to payment data.
• Hostinger: Website and API hosting infrastructure.
• PHPMailer / SMTP: Transactional email delivery for order and license communications.

4. Data Storage & Security

Extension data is stored locally in your browser profile. Backend data (license records, order information) is stored in a secured MySQL database with encrypted connections. We use HMAC-based hashing for sensitive identifiers and do not store plaintext license keys after initial delivery.

Payment-related data is handled entirely by Stripe and is subject to their PCI-DSS compliant security measures.

5. Data Retention

• Extension data: Stored locally until you clear it. We have no access to it.
• License records: Retained for the duration of your subscription plus 90 days.
• Contact form submissions: Retained for 12 months unless you request deletion.
• Order records: Retained for accounting and tax purposes as required by law.

6. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting support@yellowpages-scraper.com. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies

Our website uses only essential cookies required for basic functionality (e.g., session management). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
