Chrome Web Store Limited Use disclosure

Foreplay's collection and use of information received through the Chrome Web Store and our Chrome extension comply with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. In particular:

  • We collect web browsing activity only to the extent required to provide the user-facing features described in this policy and in the extension's interface and Chrome Web Store listing — primarily, showing you real-time analytics for the web pages you view.
  • We use that data, and any data aggregated, to provide and improve those features and user experience.
  • We do not sell this data for personalized, retargeted, or interest-based advertising, for creditworthiness or lending decisions.

2.3 Chrome Extension data — including web browsing activity

The Foreplay Chrome extension shows you real-time analytics for any web page you view. To generate those analytics for the page in front of you, and to surface related advertising and competitor insights, the extension — after you grant consent — collects:

  • Web browsing activity: the domains, URLs, and limited page metadata of the pages you view, which the extension needs to look up and display analytics for the current page.
  • Ad data: advertisements and related creative, advertiser, and placement information encountered on the pages you view.
  • Saved items: links and ads you choose to save to your library.

You can withdraw consent or uninstall at any time. We collect only what the real-time analytics features require, and we do not run background collection unrelated to them.
