Hero Deal Spotter privacy policy

Effective November 12, 2026

Hero Deal Spotter is a free browser extension that shows when the store website you're on is listed on GovX. It is built so that what you browse stays on your computer.

What the extension reads

On each web page you open, it reads the page's address, its title and the name the site gives itself in its page tags. It compares them with GovX's public list of brands, inside your browser, to decide whether to light up its icon. If you've highlighted text, it reads that too, so the popup can offer to search GovX for it. It does not read what you type, your purchases, your passwords or your GovX login.

What it keeps, and where

Only in your browser's extension storage, on your device:

• GovX's public brand list, refreshed once a day.
• Your settings, such as whether the note is on.
• Stores where you closed the note, so it stays hidden there for 30 days.
• When the note last appeared on a GovX-listed store, so it doesn't repeat during the same visit. These records are deleted automatically after 30 days.

Removing the extension deletes all of it.

What it sends

Nothing about you or the sites you visit is sent anywhere: not to GovX, not to the developer, not to anyone. The extension makes one kind of request on its own: downloading GovX's public brand list from www.govx.com, without cookies, at most once a day. If you visit govx.com, it may pick up the same list from that page. Links you click open GovX's website, which then has its own privacy policy.

What it doesn't do

• No analytics, tracking, advertising or profiling.
• No selling or sharing of data. No code loaded from anywhere else.
• No use of data for anything except showing GovX deals as described here.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new date. Questions: email the developer at the contact address on Hero Deal Spotter's Chrome Web Store page.
