Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 10, 2026  ·  Last updated: April 10, 2026

1. Who We Are

RecallRadar ("we," "our," or "the extension") is a Chrome browser extension developed and maintained by RecallRadar (contact: recallradarapp@gmail.com). Our website is recallradarapp.com.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

RecallRadar does not collect, transmit, or have access to:

• Your name, email address, or any account information
• Your browsing history or the list of websites you visit
• Clicks, keystrokes, mouse movements, or any behavioral tracking data
• Your IP address or location
• Financial or payment details (payments are processed entirely by Stripe — see Section 5)
• Any personally identifiable information of any kind

3. What the Extension Reads from Pages

When you visit a supported retailer page (Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc.), RecallRadar reads the product title, brand, and model number visible on that page. This information is used only to form a query to an official government recall database (FDA, USDA FSIS, or CPSC). It is never stored on a server, never logged, and never associated with you.

4. Local Storage on Your Device

RecallRadar stores the following data locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local:

• Tracked products — product titles you choose to monitor for recall alerts
• Recent check history — titles of the last 10 products you scanned
• Recall result cache — API responses cached for up to 24 hours to reduce redundant requests
• Plan status — whether your account has an active Pro subscription

This data never leaves your device. It is not synced to any server controlled by RecallRadar. You can clear it at any time by removing the extension or clearing extension storage in your browser settings.

5. Third-Party Services

RecallRadar makes outbound requests only to the following official government APIs to retrieve recall data:

• FDA — api.fda.gov (food and drug enforcement recalls)
• USDA FSIS — fsis.usda.gov (meat, poultry, and egg recalls)
• CPSC — saferproducts.gov (consumer product safety recalls — Pro plan)
• NHTSA — api.nhtsa.gov (vehicle and equipment recalls — Pro plan)

These requests include the product search query (e.g., product name) but contain no personal information. Each agency's own privacy policy governs how they handle API requests.

Stripe — Pro plan payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. RecallRadar never sees or stores your payment card details. Stripe's privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy.

6. Remote Code

RecallRadar does not load or execute any remotely hosted code. All extension logic is bundled within the extension package distributed through the Chrome Web Store. API calls retrieve data (JSON) only — no scripts are fetched or executed from external sources.

7. Children's Privacy

RecallRadar is not directed to children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from children. Because we collect no personal information from any user, no special handling is required or applied.

8. Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users via the Chrome Web Store listing. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
