The Vantage Chrome extension.

What the extension collects, why, who receives it, and how to delete it. The general VantageHub privacy notice covers everything else.

Who runs the extension

The extension is run by the team behind VantageHub (vantagehub.ai). For privacy questions or requests, contact the VantageHub team through the E-commerce Builders Discord community.

What the extension does

On any online store, click the Vantage icon in Chrome's toolbar to open a panel about that store: its estimated traffic and revenue, similar shops and, for brands Vantage tracks, their ads and landing pages. On Meta's Ad Library (www.facebook.com/ads/library), the extension adds buttons to each ad to save it to your swipe file, transcribe its video, or download it. Download saves the file straight from Meta to your computer and sends us nothing.

What we collect

Apart from the Ad Library, where it adds its buttons, the extension reads a website only after you click its icon there. Nothing about a page is sent to us until you open the panel or click one of the extension's buttons.

Your account: email address, account ID, and the name and picture from your sign-in

When you sign in

To sign you in, show your account, and apply your plan and its limits.

The address of the site you open the panel on (its domain, and the product when you're on a store's product page)

When you click the Vantage icon on a site

To look the store up in Vantage. We keep a record of each site you open the panel on, with the time, to apply usage limits and improve the extension.

Public information from that store's page: its name and description, products and prices, the page's headings and buttons, and the analytics and advertising IDs it publishes

While the panel is open on that store

To identify the brand behind the store, find similar shops, and describe its landing pages.

The ad's Library ID, the advertiser's page ID and name, and the ad as shown: text, headline, link, dates, and the address of its video or image

When you open an ad in the panel, or click Save or Transcript

To find the ad in Vantage, show its transcript if it has one, save it where you asked, or transcribe it.

The transcript and the video's length

When you click Transcript

To show you the transcript and apply your transcript limits.

Your swipe file, and the brands you follow or ask Vantage to track

When you save, follow or request a brand

To keep your swipe file and followed brands, and to start tracking the brands people ask for.

We do not collect passwords, payment details, messages or your location, and we don't see which websites you visit apart from the sites you open the panel on.

Who else receives data

Hosting providers run our servers, database and media storage, and process data only on our behalf.
A speech-to-text provider receives an ad's video or audio when you click Transcript, to produce the transcript.
AI providers receive public information from the store's page, such as its name, products and headings, to find similar shops and sort its pages by type.
A website-traffic data provider receives the store's domain, to estimate its traffic.
Meta's Ad Library is searched from our servers for the store's public ads.

None of them receive your name, email address or account. Results about stores and ads, such as traffic, similar shops and transcripts, are shared across Vantage: others who look at the same store or ad see the same results, but never who looked it up. We do not sell data or share it for advertising or any other purpose.

Sign-in

Clicking Sign in opens Vantage's sign-in page in a window managed by Chrome, where you continue with Google, Discord or a link sent to your email. If you don't have a Vantage account yet, signing in creates a free one with your email address. The extension gets its own access tokens, separate from your website session, and never sees your password. Signing out deletes the tokens from your device and asks Vantage to cancel them.

On your device

The extension keeps your sign-in tokens, the ads you saved (so they show as saved) and a few settings in Chrome's storage on your device. Uninstalling it removes them.

Limited use

Data collected through the extension is used only to provide its features and keep them working: store lookups, transcripts, swipe files, usage limits, fixing problems and improving the extension. It is not sold, not used for advertising, not used to decide creditworthiness or lending, and not used to train AI models. People on our team look at it only to fix a problem you report, for security, or when the law requires it. The use of information received through the extension adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Retention and deletion

Saved ads stay in your swipe file until you remove them. The record of the sites you opened the panel on and of your Save and Transcript actions is kept while you have an account, to apply limits and improve the extension. To have your account's records deleted, contact us and we'll delete them within 30 days. Uninstalling the extension removes everything it stored on your device.

Permissions

storage: Keep you signed in, remember which ads you saved, and keep your settings.
identity: Open the Vantage sign-in window. The extension never reads your Google or Chrome account.
activeTab and scripting: When you click the Vantage icon, open the panel on that tab and read the store's public page. The extension can't read a tab you haven't clicked it on.
Access to www.facebook.com/ads/library: Add the Save, Transcript and Download buttons to ads in Meta's Ad Library.

Changes

If what we collect or how we use it changes, we'll update this page and its date before releasing the new version.
