DealDrop privacy policy
Last updated 11 November 2026
DealDrop (“the extension”) is a Chrome extension by AddonNest. This policy explains what information it handles and why. It adds to our general privacy policy.
Price tracking
When you click Track price on a product page (or right-click one and choose Track this page's price), DealDrop reads that page's product name, price, currency, image and address, and stores them in Chrome's extension storage on your device. From then on, the background service worker downloads that product page again on a schedule to read the new price. DealDrop never reads a page before you ask it to track that page.
Alerts
When a tracked price drops or reaches your target price, the extension shows a Chrome notification. Alerts are kept on your device only.
Site access
DealDrop asks for permission to each store you track a product from, and only contacts those origins. Nothing is sent to our servers when prices are checked; product pages are fetched directly from your browser.
Affiliate links
Buttons that open a product or a store search may carry DealDrop's affiliate tag, so we earn a commission if you buy through them. This funds the free plan. Nothing about you is shared with the store beyond what a normal link already contains.
Stored on your device
Your tracked products with their price history, your alerts, your target prices and your sign-in session are kept in Chrome's extension storage on your device. The free plan keeps 90 days of history, Pro one year.
Permissions
- activeTab, scripting: to read the product on the page you are on, only when you click Track.
- optional host access: to re-check the prices of the exact products you tracked, on those stores only.
- alarms: to schedule those background price checks.
- notifications: to tell you when a price drops.
- contextMenus: for the right-click "Track this page's price".
- storage: to keep your products, history and sign-in on your device.
- identity: only for “Continue with Google”.
Your AddonNest account
An account is only needed for paid features. It is one AddonNest account shared by the website and all our extensions. We store your email address, an optional name and a securely hashed password — or, if you choose “Continue with Google”, your Google account's email address. We use it only to sign you in and to apply your plan.
Payments
Plans are paid on addonnest.com through Razorpay or Cashfree. Card, UPI and bank details are entered on their payment pages and are never seen or stored by us. We keep your order number, plan, amount, payment reference and the date your plan ends, and — if you pay with Cashfree — the mobile number you entered at checkout.
What we don't do
- No advertising, analytics or tracking inside the extension.
- No collection of your browsing history.
- No selling or renting of personal data. We share data only with the service providers needed to run the features described above.
- We don't use your data for anything other than providing DealDrop.
The use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Your choices
- Uninstalling the extension removes everything it stored in your browser.
- To delete your AddonNest account and every record linked to it, email us from the address you signed up with. We delete it within 30 days.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is posted at this address with a new date.
