Privacy Policy

Last updated January 2025 · Effective immediately

The short version

1. Who we are

Marketplace Scout is a free browser extension and web tool for scanning Facebook Marketplace listings. We are an independent product, not affiliated with Meta Platforms, Inc. Questions can be sent to hello@marketplacescout.net.

2. What information we collect

Nothing. Marketplace Scout does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information. The extension and dashboard operate entirely within your browser.

We do not collect your name, email, Facebook credentials, search queries, results, IP address, location, or any browsing history.

3. How the extension works

The extension runs scripts on Facebook Marketplace pages you visit. These scripts read visible listing data on screen — the same information you'd see scrolling manually — and send it to the local dashboard in your browser tab. No data is sent to Marketplace Scout servers because none exist.

4. Facebook Marketplace access

The extension requires permission to access facebook.com/marketplace/* pages to read search result listings. It does not access your Facebook profile, messages, notifications, friends list, or social graph. It does not post, like, share, or interact with Facebook on your behalf.

5. Local storage

The extension uses Chrome's local storage to remember your scan configuration between sessions — search settings, selected cities, filter preferences. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.

6. Third-party services

The Marketplace Scout website uses Google Fonts. Google may collect anonymous request data when fonts load. See Google's Privacy Policy for details. No other third-party analytics or tracking services are used.

7. Children's privacy

Marketplace Scout is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

8. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
