Privacy Policy

Extensionow is operated by Bitspark Technology Inc. This policy explains what happens to information when you visit Extensionow, follow a recommendation, or send us feedback.

The short version

You can read every guide and follow every recommendation without creating an account. We use DataFast on public pages for traffic analytics; its standard tracker uses first-party visitor and session cookies. If you choose Allow analytics, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity can use analytics storage for richer usage reports and session replay. We do not use advertising storage, Google Signals, advertising personalisation, or remarketing.

DataFast measurement on public pages

The DataFast analytics script loads on public Extensionow pages, excluding account and authentication pages. Its standard tracker uses first-party visitor and session cookies, including datafast_visitor_id and datafast_session_id, to measure page views, referral sources, attribution, visitors, and sessions. DataFast may also receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details when providing the service.

This measurement is not controlled by the Privacy choices setting described below. Browser privacy controls and content blockers may prevent it. Learn more in DataFast's privacy policy.

Measurement before you allow analytics

The Google tag and Microsoft Clarity load with analytics storage and advertising storage set to denied. In this state, they may receive limited measurement signals supported by their consent modes, but they do not use cookies or another persistent browser identifier to connect your visits.

These cookieless signals can include information needed to deliver and understand a page visit, such as the page, time, consent state, browser or device category, and coarse technical or location signals derived by the provider. We do not describe this data as completely anonymous and do not promise that a provider could never distinguish one request from another.

Microsoft Clarity assigns a new identifier for each page view in no-consent mode. Any limited recording is not linked into a continuous multi-page session in that state.

Measurement after you allow analytics

If you choose Allow analytics:

• Google Analytics 4 may use first-party analytics cookies such as _ga to distinguish users and sessions and provide fuller traffic and interaction reports. Learn more in Google's Analytics privacy information.
• Microsoft Clarity may use analytics cookies to connect activity across pages and provide heatmaps and session replay. Clarity masks input fields by default, and Extensionow explicitly marks feedback and content-request inputs for masking. Learn more in the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

For both services, advertising storage remains denied. Google ad_user_data and ad_personalization also remain denied, and our Google tag disables Google Signals and advertising-personalisation signals.

Choosing Decline does not change the guides or links available to you.

Changing your choice

Use Privacy choices in the footer to reopen the notice. A new decision immediately updates the consent state sent to Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity; it does not change DataFast measurement.

If you decline or withdraw analytics consent, Extensionow also removes accessible Google Analytics and Clarity cookies from its own domain. Clarity is sent a denied Consent Mode signal so it can remove its cookies, end the previous continuous session, and return to limited no-consent mode.

Other information created when you use the site

Basic server records. Like most websites, our hosting provider may process information such as your IP address, browser, requested URL, and time of access to deliver the site, keep it secure, and diagnose errors.

Recommendation links. A visit to the Chrome Web Store or a product website first passes through an Extensionow redirect. We record the guide, recommended product, destination type, time, and referring page so we can measure whether a guide helped someone take the next step. This event does not include an Extensionow account or feedback identifier.

Feedback and content requests. If you vote on a guide, report a problem, or suggest a product or question, we store the page or request, your selection, and any text or URL you submit. A random first-party browser identifier prevents one browser from being counted repeatedly for the same page. Feedback text, form contents, and contact details are not sent to Google Analytics or Microsoft Clarity or DataFast through our custom analytics events. Please do not include personal or confidential information in a note.

Extension comments. Posting an extension evaluation requires an account. We associate the comment with your account, extension, and use case to let you manage it and prevent duplicate reviews. Approved comments are public; your email address is not displayed with them. We retain moderation decisions and reasons. Older anonymous evaluations remain separate and are not assigned to a new account. Contributors may also comment. Developers and people with a commercial or working relationship must disclose it. We display this self-reported relationship separately from manually verified developer status. Affiliated evaluations do not count toward Community Choice.

Extension contributions. Anyone with an account can recommend an extension or suggest an update. Contributors provide their account details, Chrome Web Store and optional website URLs, product claims, scenarios, limitations, and submission dates. Drafts and pending changes are private to the submitter and moderators. Approved profile information is public. Account details remain private. Account and login pages do not load our public-site analytics scripts. Submitting an extension does not confer ownership or verified developer status. If an account is deleted, public entries, classifications, comments, and moderation history are retained; account links on contributions and comments are cleared. For manual developer verification, we store the verified relationship, date, and an internal evidence reference. The reference is not public.

Cookies and browser storage

• eow_consent is stored in your browser to remember your analytics choice.
• eow_feedback_visitor is set after you send page feedback, and eow_request_visitor is set after you submit a content request. Both are random identifiers, are limited to Extensionow, and expire after one year. They are not analytics cookies and are not sent to Google Analytics or Clarity.
• eow_extension_visitor is set when you view or evaluate a submitted extension profile. It is a random identifier used to connect profile views, evaluations, and outbound clicks. It expires after one year and is not sent to Google Analytics or Clarity.
• Authentication uses first-party session cookies to keep you signed in.
• If you write an extension comment before signing in, session storage in that browser tab keeps the text while you sign in. It is removed after successful submission or when the tab session ends.
• DataFast sets first-party visitor and session cookies when you visit Extensionow.
• Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity may set analytics cookies only after you choose Allow analytics.

Services that receive data

We name services that directly handle visitor data; we do not list every software package used to build the site or publish project IDs.

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy commitments. Data may be processed in countries other than your own. Supabase explains how it handles customer data, and DataFast, Google, and Microsoft provide more information through the links above.

How long information is kept

We keep feedback, content requests, and extension submissions only while they remain useful for reviewing and maintaining the related content. First-party submission cookies expire after one year. Hosting logs and analytics data follow the retention settings and policies of the relevant provider. Clarity normally keeps recordings for 30 days, with a limited selection retained for longer under Microsoft's retention policy.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold, ask for a correction or deletion, object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent, or complain to a data protection authority. California residents may also ask about the categories of personal information collected and disclosed. Bitspark Technology Inc. does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

You can manage your extension comments and account details in your account. Contact us for other access or deletion requests. We may need additional information to locate anonymous page feedback that was stored without a name or email address.

Contact and changes
