Who operates this service
This service is operated by the independent publisher of Walmart Price Tracker. For privacy questions and data requests, contact medziyadelmahfoudi@gmail.com.
Walmart Price Tracker is an independently developed tool, not an official Walmart application. It is not operated or endorsed by Walmart Co., Inc. Walmart names and trademarks identify the retailer whose public product prices are tracked.
1. Information processed
| Category | Information and collection point |
|---|---|
| Product page content | On supported Walmart product pages, the extension reads the product title, product URL, SKU when available, image URL, price, and structured product data. This supports the Track Price button, tracking status, first-price capture, and backup extraction. Reading page content does not upload every product page you visit. |
| Products you track | When you click Track Price, add a product URL, or import a product backup, the extension stores the selected product locally and sends its URL and available initial title, image URL, SKU, price, and capture time to our server. The server obtains later product prices, seller and availability information and stores price history and alerts. |
| Device and authentication information | A random installation identifier and random device token are generated locally for automatic registration. The registration request includes the Chrome extension ID. The server stores hashed installation and token identifiers, a device ID, a generated device name, client source, registration time, active/revoked status and last connection time. Device credentials are stored in the extension's local storage; our database stores token hashes rather than the original token. |
| Preferences and operation records | Notification preferences, thresholds and target prices, tracked-product subscriptions, local history limits, synchronization status, alert delivery cursors, recent notification identifiers, and temporary product-window/banner information are used to deliver the service. The extension and dashboard report technical errors for troubleshooting, including operation names, error messages, relevant tracked-product identifiers, script stack traces and occurrence times. Reports are queued locally while offline and sent after the connection returns; they do not include request bodies, passwords or API credentials. The server records API requests, price-check events, errors, affiliate-click events initiated by the extension, and notification-received acknowledgements, with product/device identifiers and timestamps when applicable. |
| Network and security information | Like other online services, the server and its hosting providers receive connection information such as IP addresses when a request is made. Our application temporarily uses IP addresses in registration and login rate-limit records. Hosting and network providers may also process technical request metadata under their own policies. |
| Information you send to support | If you contact us, we receive the email address, message, and any diagnostic information or screenshots you choose to include. Do not send your device token, retailer password, payment information, or other secrets. |
The extension has no feature that collects your retailer password, payment-card details, address-book contacts, or general browsing history across unrelated websites. It does not require your email address or your Walmart account credentials. Normal Walmart and affiliate website visits may use cookies already present in your browser.
2. Purposes and limited use
We process this information to save selected products, check their prices, show price history, apply alert preferences, synchronize results while a device is offline, deliver notifications, maintain tracking status and banners, manage device access, detect failures, enforce request limits, and respond to support or deletion requests.
Operation statistics distinguish extension, mobile-client, dashboard and scheduled-server activity. These records are associated with service/device identifiers, rather than a required user email account. We do not use tracked-product data to build unrelated advertising profiles. We do not sell personal user data. Use and transfer of user data are limited to providing and supporting the disclosed price-tracking features, security, and the affiliate behavior described below.
Administrator access to the dashboard uses a separate password-protected session. Ordinary extension users do not need that password. Authorized administrators can inspect tracked products and operation/device records to operate and support the service.
4. Affiliate links, cookies and automatic windows
The extension is supported by affiliate referrals, and the publisher may earn a commission on qualifying purchases. An affiliate referral does not mean that a retailer has verified a displayed price or endorsed the extension.
The current release uses affiliate links in these situations:
- Track Price: saves the product first, then opens its purchase link through the configured affiliate redirect in the current tab.
- Buy: the product opens through an affiliate link in a new tab.
- A qualifying price-drop alert: when the option to open product windows is enabled, the extension automatically opens an affiliate product window and displays a price-drop banner. A test notification can exercise the same flow.
The publisher can update the affiliate-link prefix centrally. The extension does not force cookies to be saved or bypass browser privacy controls. Affiliate and retailer sites may set or read cookies during normal redirects, subject to their practices and your browser settings. The extension does not use the Chrome cookies permission to read or edit your cookie database.
You can disable automatic price-drop windows in extension Settings. The current public extension interface does not provide a separate switch to turn off every affiliate visit associated with Track Price or Buy. Routine API price checks do not open affiliate tabs.
5. Local storage, cookies and permissions
- storage: stores products, device credentials, preferences, synchronization cursors and temporary notification state on your device.
- alarms: schedules synchronization and backup checks while Chrome is able to run the extension.
- notifications: displays price-change and test notifications.
- tabs and supported host access: allow the extension to identify matching Walmart product tabs, read product content, request data from the backend/retailer, and perform the disclosed product navigations.
The extension loads packaged code rather than downloading executable code from the backend. The public privacy page does not require a login and contains no analytics script. The private dashboard uses an administrator session cookie; extension API requests use their separate device token.
6. Retention and deletion
Local records remain until you remove them, clear the extension's storage, or uninstall the extension. Local history is limited by the configured history-entry setting.
On the server, product records and queued alerts remain while tracking continues. Price history and service/provider event logs are subject to a configurable retention period, currently 90 days by default. Queued alerts do not currently have that separate automatic time limit; they remain until their product is deleted. Expired rate-limit records and administrator sessions are removed by scheduled cleanup. Infrastructure logs and support email may follow separate provider/security retention periods.
Removing a product cancels this device's subscription. When no device subscriptions remain, the server deletes the product, its price history and queued alerts, including a manually added product that had been subscribed to by the removed device. Another device's active subscription prevents that product from being deleted.
After a successful connection, the extension registers a special uninstall URL. When Chrome opens that page after removal, the page sends a one-time request to revoke the device and remove its subscriptions, then deletes products that no other device tracks. This depends on the uninstall page reaching the service. If it does not complete, contact support. There is no automatic deletion solely because a device is offline.
Revoked device identifiers and hashed credentials may remain as security/audit records to prevent a revoked installation from automatically registering again. Historical operation events may remain until their configured retention period expires. Provider backups and network logs may not be removed immediately when an active application record is deleted.
7. Your controls and requests
You can remove tracked products, change alerts or target prices, disable notifications or automatic product windows, export local product/history data, or uninstall the extension. If a device is offline when a price drops, the service can keep the alert for delivery when the extension reconnects. Displayed historical alerts are not a guarantee of the current retailer price.
To request access, correction or deletion of records associated with your installation, email medziyadelmahfoudi@gmail.com. Include your device ID if available and describe the request. We may request information needed to identify the relevant installation and avoid deleting another person's data. Do not send authentication tokens. Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide additional privacy rights.
8. Security and policy changes
Requests use HTTPS. Device credentials are restricted to extension contexts locally and stored as hashes on the backend. Provider keys are kept on the server and encrypted in the application database. Administrative access is separate from device access. No security measure can guarantee absolute protection.
We will update this page and its date when practices change. Material changes to data collection, sharing or affiliate behavior should also be disclosed in the extension interface and store listing, with consent obtained where required. This policy describes the released behavior; it does not guarantee acceptance by a browser extension store.
