Privacy Policy for Can I Return This?
Last updated: April 19, 2026
This privacy policy explains how the Can I Return This? browser extension handles information when you use it to analyze shopping pages and return policy evidence.
What the Extension Does
Can I Return This? helps you review return-policy risk before buying. When you choose to run a check, the extension reads the active shopping page, looks for return-related evidence, and may review nearby policy pages to summarize return windows, fees, exclusions, and caution signals.
Information We Collect or Process
The extension may collect or process the following information only as needed to provide the product's features:
- The URL and title of the page you choose to analyze.
- Visible page text, product information, links, and return-policy evidence from the page you choose to analyze.
- Content from closely related same-site return, refund, shipping, help, or policy pages when needed to complete the requested check.
- Recent check results, cache state, preferences, and session state stored locally in your browser.
- Account, authentication, session, credit, and usage information if you sign in or use account-based features.
- Technical and operational information needed to secure, operate, troubleshoot, and improve the service.
When Information Is Collected
The extension does not continuously read every page you visit. It uses activeTab access and bundled extension scripts to inspect the active page after you interact with the extension and start a check.
If page evidence is weak, the extension may use return-policy discovery methods, including same-site policy links and a DuckDuckGo HTML search fallback, to find likely policy pages for the requested analysis.
How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Analyze the shopping page and return-policy evidence you request.
- Generate and return a summary inside the extension.
- Save recent checks so you can reopen them later.
- Authenticate your account and manage credits or usage where applicable.
- Maintain service reliability, prevent abuse, troubleshoot issues, and protect the system.
Remote Processing
Some information from a requested check may be sent securely to the PagePipe API at https://pagepipe-api.darkgreen.workers.dev for account handling, credit handling, cloud history, and AI-assisted analysis.
The extension does not send page content for unrelated advertising or profiling. The extension does not download and execute arbitrary remote JavaScript or WebAssembly as part of its extension functionality.
Local Storage
The extension may store information locally in your browser, including recent check history, current-page cache data, preferences, account session state, credits display state, and migration markers. Locally stored information may remain on your device until you clear it, sign out, or remove the extension.
Data Sharing
We do not sell user data. We do not share user data for third-party advertising. We may use service providers and infrastructure needed to operate the extension and related services, including hosting, authentication, backend processing, security, and reliability services.
Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably needed to provide the extension, maintain account features, support saved history where applicable, protect the service, troubleshoot issues, comply with legal obligations, and support legitimate business operations.
Your Choices and Control
You can control use of the extension by choosing to:
- Avoid submitting a page by not running a check.
- Clear local extension data or recent history from your browser.
- Sign out of account-based features where available.
- Remove the extension from your browser.
Children
Can I Return This? is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly design it to collect information from children.
Security
User data transmitted for remote processing is sent using HTTPS. We work to use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the service.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version published at this URL will control.
