Privacy

HasTrust is built to be privacy-respecting. We collect no personal data and no browsing history.

The browser extension

By default the extension reads only the current page's domain (e.g. example.com) to look up an assessment. It does not read the full URL, page contents, your cart, form fields, or any personal data — the only network request it makes is to our API with that bare domain.

One exception, and only when you ask for it: on a product page you can click “Check this product”. That sends the product's URL (with tracking parameters stripped) to our API so we can fetch its price and find cheaper or better alternatives. Nothing is sent until you click; we never read your cart, account, or form fields.

What we store

Anonymous usage events (the domain checked, the event type, and a random anonymous id) and community trust votes. Votes store a one-way hash of your IP solely for rate-limiting. None of this identifies you. We keep aggregate counts; we do not sell data.

In your browser

We store only your theme preference and a random anonymous id in local storage. No tracking cookies.

Third parties

Assessments cite public web sources you can visit. Site/brand logos load from Google's public favicon service (which sees the domain, not you).
