Privacy Policy - last updated 2026-09-23

Private by design

The EcoChineur browser extension collects no personal data, browsing data, history, Vinted searches, filters, identifiers or usage statistics.

No data use or sharing

EcoChineur does not use, sell or transfer user data for any purpose: no analytics, profiling, advertising, audience measurement, creditworthiness, model training or sharing with third parties.

Local storage only

The only stored information is what you choose in the popup: brand categories, materials and language. It stays in chrome.storage.local on your device and is deleted when you uninstall the extension.

No network

The extension makes no network requests of its own, has no backend, loads no remote code and includes no tracking, telemetry or analytics.

How the extension works

When you open the popup and click "Apply filters" or "Reset", EcoChineur reads the active tab URL only to check that it is a Vinted catalog page and to build, on your device, a new URL that keeps your existing filters. The tab then navigates to that URL. The URL is never stored or sent anywhere.

The "Suggest a brand" link opens the suggestion page on the project site in a new tab. On that click, if the active tab is a Vinted catalog page, EcoChineur adds to the link the Vinted brand IDs you filter on that it does not list yet, plus the Vinted domain, to prefill the form. Nothing else from the URL is passed on (no search, price or other filters). The page embeds a form hosted by Tally (Belgium), whose privacy policy applies there. Nothing is sent until you submit the form.
