+# EasyRelocate Privacy Policy
+
+**Last updated:** 2026-01-31
+
+## Summary
+EasyRelocate helps users save housing listings from supported sites and compare them in the EasyRelocate web app. The extension stores a workspace token and sends listing data to the user’s configured EasyRelocate backend.
+
+## Data We Collect
+**From the extension:**
+- **Authentication information:** A workspace token provided by the user (stored locally).
+- **Website content:** Listing details from supported websites (e.g., title, price, location text, URL) and any text the user explicitly selects and saves.
+
+**We do NOT collect:**
+- Personal communications
+- Health data
+- Financial/payment data
+- Device location/GPS
+- Web browsing history
+- Keystrokes or behavioral analytics
+
+## How We Use Data
+- To save listings to the user’s workspace.
+- To display saved listings in the EasyRelocate web app.
+
+## Data Storage
+- The workspace token and API base URL are stored locally in the user’s browser storage.
+- Listing data is sent to the user’s EasyRelocate backend configured by the user.
+
+## Data Sharing
+We do not sell or share data with third parties. Data only goes to the user’s own backend API endpoint.
+
+## User Control
+Users can:
+- Remove the token or change the API base URL in Extension Options.
+- Clear browser storage or uninstall the extension to remove local data.
