8. DepositScout Chrome Extension

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data, browsing history, or user information through our Chrome extension.

What the extension does:

• Reads public text on UK bank savings pages to detect interest rates (e.g. "4.50% AER").
• Compares detected rates against public market benchmarks (fetched from depositscout.com).
• Shows local analysis ("This beats market leaders") without sending page content or URLs anywhere.

Permissions used:

• storage: Save your banner preferences and 24-hour dismissals locally on your device.
• activeTab: Scan only the page you're currently viewing.
• Bank domains: Inject analysis only on listed UK bank sites.

No tracking, no servers, no third parties.
