Useful by design.
Private by default.
PepScout Coupon Codes is a narrow shopping utility for supported supplier websites. It shows coupon information without turning your browsing activity into a profile.
Where the extension runs
PepScout Coupon Codes runs only on the explicit supplier domains listed in the extension. It does not request access to every website and does not run on unrelated sites.
What stays private
The extension does not collect or transmit the following data to PepScout:
- General browsing history or exact page URLs
- Product names or page content
- Form contents
- Cart or order information
- Account or payment details
- Clipboard contents
Operational telemetry
The extension sends a small operational event when one of the listed interface actions occurs, so PepScout can understand whether the coupon interface is working. Each event contains only:
- Extension version
- PepScout supplier ID
- Action: panel_open, activate, copy, or apply
- Registry version
- Coarse result: success, unavailable, or failed
Because the PepScout supplier ID identifies the supported store associated with an extension action, Chrome Web Store disclosures conservatively classify these events as coarse web history and user activity.
Events are not connected by a persistent identifier. Coupon functionality continues if telemetry is blocked, unavailable, or rejected. Accepted events are kept in a bounded rolling operational log.
Registry security
Coupon data refreshes over HTTPS. Before updated supplier and coupon information is accepted, the extension verifies its Ed25519 signature. If verification fails, the update is not used and the extension falls back to previously verified data.
Affiliate activation is your choice
PepScout may earn a commission from some supplier links. Affiliate activation happens only after you choose Activate offer. The extension does not automatically redirect you, click purchase controls, submit checkout forms, or complete a purchase.
Chrome Web Store Limited Use
PepScout's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Extension data is used only to provide or improve the extension's single-purpose coupon functionality. It is not sold, used for personalized advertising, or used to determine creditworthiness or lending.
