Privacy Policy
Summary
TrialGuard helps you remember to cancel free trials before billing. We do not operate servers that receive your browsing data, and the MVP does not require an account.
What TrialGuard does locally
- Scan visible page text on checkout-like pages for trial keywords (e.g. "free trial", "7 days")
- Store trial service name, signup date, cancel-by date, and optional cancel URL
- Create Google Calendar events on cancel-by day after you connect your account
- Display your active trials in the extension popup
What may be stored on your device
TrialGuard may keep the following in Chrome storage on your device:
- Trial entries (service label, domain, trial length, cancel-by timestamp)
- Optional savings counter for display in the popup
- With chrome.storage.sync: the same trial list across Chrome profiles you sign in to
What is not collected
- We do not collect or upload full page HTML, passwords, or payment card numbers
- We do not maintain a browsing history log for analytics
- We do not sell or share your data with third parties for advertising
- We do not sync trial data to our servers in the MVP
Google Calendar
TrialGuard uses Google OAuth to create calendar events you approve. Event data is stored in your Google account, not on developer servers.
Permissions
TrialGuard requests host access to read page text on sites you visit when checkout patterns are detected, plus identity (for Google OAuth) and storage. It does not use Chrome extension notifications. See the Chrome Web Store listing for exact permissions.
Data retention and deletion
Stored trial data remains until you:
- Remove the TrialGuard extension, or
- Clear extension data in Chrome (chrome://extensions → TrialGuard → Details → Clear data), or
- Delete individual trials in the extension popup
Children
TrialGuard is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date will change when we do.
