Clean Beauty Compass extracts ingredient lists (website content) from product pages you visit on supported e-commerce websites. Here's what we collect:

What We Collect

  • Ingredient Lists: We extract ingredient text from product detail pages on Amazon, Sephora, and Target. This is publicly visible information displayed on product pages.
  • Ingredient Safety Data: We cache ingredient safety information locally in your browser to improve performance and reduce API calls.

Note: We only access ingredient lists from product pages you are currently viewing. We do not access any other content from these websites, including personal account information, purchase history, or private data.

What We DON'T Collect

To be completely clear, we do NOT collect, store, or transmit the following:

Personally identifiable information (name, email, address, etc.)
Health information
Financial or payment information
Authentication credentials
Personal communications
Location data
Browsing history (we only analyze the current product page)
User activity (clicks, keystrokes, etc.)

How We Use Your Data

  • No personal information is included in these queries
  • Data is used exclusively to provide ingredient safety analysis
  • Data is not used for advertising, marketing, or any other purpose

Data Storage
