Last updated: March 15, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how AliExpress Smart Shopper ("we", "our", or "the extension") handles user data and privacy. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

Data Collection and Usage

We do not collect any personally identifiable information. Our extension operates on AliExpress and other supported shopping websites, and processes most data locally in your browser.

Information We Do Not Collect:

• Names, email addresses, or any personal identification information
• Login credentials
• Browsing history outside of supported shopping websites
• Payment or financial information
• IP addresses

Anonymous Usage Analytics:

To improve the extension and understand how features are used, we collect anonymous usage data, including:

• A randomly generated anonymous identifier (not linked to your identity)
• General device information (browser type, operating system)
• General location data (country, language, timezone)
• Extension version
• Feature usage events (e.g., which buttons are clicked, which features are used)

This data is fully anonymous, cannot be used to identify you, and is used solely to improve the extension experience.

Smart Search Feature:

• When using the Smart Search feature, your search queries are sent to our server for processing
• The server uses AI to analyze your search request and find relevant products
• Search queries are processed in real-time and are not stored or logged
• No personal information is attached to search requests

Third-Party Services

Our extension utilizes the following services to provide its functionality:

• Our Server: A dedicated server that handles:
  • Coupon data management
  • Affiliate link processing
  • API interactions with AliExpress
  • Smart Search processing (converts natural language queries to product searches)
  • Anonymous usage analytics processing
  • No personally identifiable data is stored on this server
• AliExpress Platform: Used to access product information and generate affiliate links through the official AliExpress affiliate program.

Data Storage

We use Chrome's local storage API to temporarily store:

• Extension configuration settings
• A randomly generated anonymous user identifier

No personally identifiable information is stored locally or on our servers.

Affiliate Links

This extension uses affiliate links. When you make a purchase through these links, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. All product links on AliExpress are automatically converted to affiliate links.
