Privacy Policy — Amazon Reviews Extractor
Last updated: August 2, 2026
Amazon Reviews Extractor ("the extension") is a Chrome extension that extracts publicly visible Amazon product review content from pages you browse, so you can filter, browse, and export it.
What the extension accesses
When you open the extension on an Amazon product, search-results, or reviews page, it reads:
- The product's title, ASIN (product ID), and URL
- Review content already visible on the page: star rating, title, body text, reviewer display name, review date, verified-purchase badge, and helpful-vote count
This is the same information already displayed to you by Amazon on the page — the extension does not access your Amazon account, order history, payment details, or any private account data, and it cannot see anything that isn't already rendered on the page in front of you.
What the extension does with that data
- Extracted reviews are stored only in your browser, using Chrome's
local/session storage APIs (
chrome.storage.local/chrome.storage.session), so your results and Extraction List persist across tab switches within your browsing session. - No extracted review data is transmitted to any server. The extension does not have a backend in its current release — everything (extraction, filtering, browsing, CSV/JSON/Excel export) happens entirely on your device.
- The extension does not collect analytics, does not track your browsing activity outside of the Amazon pages it operates on, and does not use cookies of its own.
- The extension does not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties, because no data leaves your browser.
Planned future feature: AI summaries (not yet enabled)
A future "Summarize with AI" Pro feature is planned but not active in the current release (it is shown as "Coming soon" and is disabled). When enabled, using that specific feature will send the reviews you've extracted to our backend service, which forwards them to a third-party AI provider (Anthropic) solely to generate a summary, and returns the result to you. That data is not stored beyond what's needed to serve the request and a short-lived cache to avoid redundant calls. This policy will be updated with full details before that feature is enabled, and it will remain opt-in — you will only send data if you explicitly click "Summarize with AI."
Permissions
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
storage | Save extracted reviews, your Extraction List, and preferences locally in your browser. |
activeTab | Detect the Amazon product on the tab you're currently viewing when you open the side panel. |
tabs | Open a background (non-focused) tab to load a product's full reviews page for extraction; this tab closes automatically when extraction finishes. |
scripting | Inject the extension's review-reading code into Amazon pages so it can read review content already visible on the page. |
sidePanel | Show the extension's UI in Chrome's side panel so it persists across tab switches. |
Host permissions (*.amazon.<tld>) | The extension only operates on Amazon marketplace domains, where it detects products and reads review content. |
Data retention and deletion
Extracted data lives in your browser's local/session storage and is cleared automatically
when Chrome clears extension session storage, or immediately if you remove the extension. You
can also clear it manually via chrome://extensions → Amazon Reviews Extractor →
"Clear storage," or by uninstalling the extension.
Changes to this policy
If a future release changes what data is accessed or how it's used (for example, enabling the AI summary feature described above), this policy will be updated first, with the effective date revised above.
