Greetings sir, Do you really not collect personal data?
see the following from your website privacy policy:
"Information NOT Collected or Received
We do not collect or receive any personally identifiable data such as names, addresses, or birth dates."
BUT in chrome extension store you have said this:
"Session Buddy collects the following:

Personally identifiable information
For example: name, address, email address, age, or identification number

Financial and payment information
For example: transactions, credit card numbers, credit ratings, financial statements, or payment history

Authentication information
For example: passwords, credentials, security question, or personal identification number (PIN)

Web history
The list of web pages a user has visited, as well as associated data such as page title and time of visit"

IS THIS NOT A CONTRADICTION?? IS OUR DATA COLLECTED AND USED BY GOOGLE OR NOT?????

Rest assured, the privacy policy posted on the website is the definitive source: https://sessionbuddy.com/privacy-policy/

Unfortunately Google does not currently allow extension authors to select fine-grained privacy categories for Chrome Web Store extension profiles. This currently means:
  • Because we provide a way for users to email us directly (at sup...@sessionbuddy.com), we have to check the Personally identifiable information category because technically this gives visibility of a sender's email address (and potentially name).
  • Because we provide a way for users to send us donations, we have to check the Financial and payment information category because this technically gives us visibility of a contributor's payment information.
  • Because we will provide a way in the future for users to create logins, we have to check the Authentication information category.
  • Because the extension's functionality depends on storing links of a session, we have to check the Web history category, regardless of whether that information is stored locally on the user's computer or in the cloud. Currently none of that is stored in the cloud. This will be a future opt-in/paid feature.
Thanks for your question. I agree it's confusing but Google does not currently give us a more explicit way to disclose/explain privacy policies directly within the Chrome Web Store. We will add content to the privacy policy to help explain this situation a bit more clearly.

Let me know if I can answer any other questions or provide further clarification.

Cheers,
Hans

You dont even mention ANY of this on your website. This is such a delicate kind of thing to just overlook. You look REAL guilty homie.

You can mention it in various threads, and it still requires a time investment to find, when it should be mentioned on his main website. Now, would you kindly suck my dick or do I have to make you?

>  So, how do you explain the LACK of information on financial information collected here: https://sessionbuddy.com/privacy-policy/  

Regarding collection of financial information; from the privacy policy:

"The information collected by Session Buddy is limited to the following:
   ... Google Analytics ...
   ... Support Requests ..."

Since neither of those is financial information, that should address your concern clearly.

Colloquial explanations of the meaning of "limited to" can be found at https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/limited+to, if that was the source of the confusion.

> You can mention it in various threads, and it still requires a time investment to find

I measured the average time it took for me to switch to a new tab and type "Session Buddy Privacy Policy" ("privacy policies" are the normal place to find this kind of info) in the address bar then click the first link as 9.47 seconds over an average of three trials.
