Quick Summary
Universal Product Board is a browser extension that lets you save product details from shopping pages into a local board stored in your browser.
1. What the extension accesses
The extension reads the contents of the current tab only when you open the extension on that page and choose to scan it. It does not run automatically across websites in the published configuration.
If you enable Live Save in the side panel, the extension also reads active http and https pages so the visible current-page save card can stay updated while you switch tabs and pages.
When product previews are shown in the popup or side panel, image URLs from merchant or CDN hosts may load directly in the extension UI so you can see the product image that was found on the page.
2. What data is stored
When you save a product, the extension stores the product title, price, currency, image URL, source URL, site name, and save timestamps in chrome.storage.local on your device.
If donation reminders are enabled, the extension also stores local reminder timestamps used to decide when to show the next weekly donation prompt.
3. What data is not collected
- No account registration is required.
- No analytics or tracking code is included.
- No product data is sent to a remote server by this extension.
- No browsing history is collected outside the current page you choose to scan or the active page you have allowed for Live Save in the side panel.
4. Notifications
Desktop notifications are optional. The extension requests notification access only if you enable save notifications in Settings. If granted, notifications are used only to confirm that a product was saved.
5. Import and export
If you export your board, a JSON file is downloaded locally by your browser. If you import a board, the selected file is read locally and used to replace the saved products and supported settings in this extension. Invalid entries without usable http or https product URLs are ignored.
6. Data control
You can delete individual products, clear all saved products, disable notifications, or remove the extension at any time. Removing the extension deletes extension-managed local storage from Chrome.
You can also disable weekly donation reminders in Settings. The donate link remains visible, but the once-a-week reminder will stop appearing.
7. Contact and hosting note
This packaged page mirrors the release privacy policy draft in the repository. Before Chrome Web Store submission, publish the same policy text at a public HTTPS URL and use that URL in the store listing privacy section.
