Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 16, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how WebStar ("WebStar", "we", "our" or "us") collect, use, and share information in connection with your use of our Chrome browser extensions, websites, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). This policy applies to data collected through our Chrome Extensions, related websites, and supporting services.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1. Information You Provide to Us
• Google Account Information: When you sign in via Google OAuth, we collect your email address, name, and profile picture URL to create and manage your account. We never access or store your Google password.
• Payment Information: Payments are processed by authorized third-party payment providers including Stripe, Paddle, Creem, and Lemon Squeezy. We do not store credit card numbers or full financial information. We only retain minimal transaction information such as purchase status, subscription plan, and transaction IDs necessary to verify access to paid features.
• Communications: If you contact us at [email protected], we may receive your email address and the contents of your message.
2. Information Collected Automatically
• Technical Information: We may collect limited technical information such as browser type, extension version, operating system, and device type in order to maintain service functionality and security.
• Usage Events: When you use certain features of our Services, we may record operational events linked to your account ID such as timestamps, feature usage counters, or subscription verification requests. These logs help us operate and maintain the Services. We do not collect or store the content you download or process using the extension.
• Local Extension Storage: Our Chrome Extensions may store limited settings locally using Chrome browser storage to enable extension functionality and remember user preferences.
• Website Cookies: Our website may use cookies to maintain login sessions and basic website functionality. Our Chrome Extensions themselves do not use third-party advertising cookies.

2. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate and maintain the Services
• Authenticate users and verify subscription access
• Process purchases and manage subscription status through authorized payment providers
• Improve service reliability and develop new features
• Provide customer support and respond to inquiries
• Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, or misuse of the Services
• Comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes

3. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We may share limited information in the following situations:

Payment Providers
Transaction information may be shared with authorized payment processors such as Stripe, Paddle, Creem, and Lemon Squeezy solely for payment processing and subscription verification.

Service Providers
We may use trusted infrastructure or analytics providers to operate and improve the Services. These providers process limited technical or usage data on our behalf and are contractually restricted from using the data for their own marketing purposes.

Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or government request, or if necessary to protect our legal rights or the security of our Services.

Business Transfers
If WebStar undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction in accordance with applicable privacy protections.

We do not sell personal data to third parties.

4. CHROME EXTENSION DATA USE

Our Chrome Extensions request only the permissions necessary to operate their intended functionality.

Depending on the extension, permissions such as identity and storage may be used only to:

• authenticate users via Google OAuth
• store local extension settings
• verify subscription status
• enable core extension functionality

Our extensions do not collect browsing history, do not track user activity across unrelated websites, and do not collect personal data unrelated to the functionality of the extension.

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Our Services rely on trusted third-party services to operate essential functionality such as authentication, payment processing, and infrastructure hosting. These providers may process limited information necessary to deliver their services in accordance with their own privacy policies.

6. DATA SECURITY & STORAGE

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect user information.

Some information may be stored locally in your browser using Chrome storage in order to enable extension functionality. Account and subscription verification data may be stored on secure servers used to operate the Services.

7. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to operate the Services, maintain subscription records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

8. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information. Requests may be submitted by contacting us at [email protected].

10. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
