Effective Date: 08.01.2025
Affiliate for Good e.V. (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the Affiliate for Good Chrome Extension (“the Extension”).
By installing or using the Extension, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.
The Extension requires the following permissions to function properly:
activeTab:
To analyze the URL of the current tab in order to detect eligible partner shops.
tabs:
To retrieve tab data necessary for activating affiliate functionality.
content_scripts:
Used to inject visual elements (e.g., information banners) directly into partner websites. These scripts run in the context of the webpage but do not collect personal data or track user behavior beyond detecting supported domains.
storage:
To save your preferences (e.g., whether you’ve dismissed a notification) and enable a consistent experience.
Host permissions (https://*.supabase.co):
Required to interact with our backend database, which stores non-personal configuration data (e.g., list of supported partner shops). No personal data is transmitted.
Current URL:
We analyze the current tab’s URL to determine if the website is a supported affiliate partner. This data is processed locally and not stored or transmitted.
Preferences:
The Extension stores user settings locally in your browser, such as notification preferences or interaction history. No personal data is collected or transmitted in this process.
Providing this information is voluntary and not required to use the core functionality of the Extension.
We do not share your name or email with third parties and store all data securely.
You may optionally register within the Extension by providing your name and email address. This information is used exclusively to send you voting-related updates and community engagement emails aligned with the mission of Affiliate for Good e.V.

Local-Only Storage:
All preferences and settings are stored locally on your device. No personal data is transmitted to external servers unless explicitly stated.
Security:
We use industry-standard security measures. However, no online method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties.
