ShopIQ is a Chrome extension that adds a buying-assistant overlay to Amazon India product pages, showing a buy-score, price history, seller trust info, review browsing, and price/discussion comparisons from other retailers. All of this logic runs locally inside the extension installed in your browser.
When you're on an Amazon India product or review page, ShopIQ's content script reads what's already rendered on that page in your browser, such as:
This data is read directly from pages you are already viewing in your own browser session, using your existing Amazon cookies the same way the Amazon page itself does. It is never transmitted to any server we operate, because none exists.
If you turn on "Use Amazon AI" in settings, ShopIQ asks Amazon's own on-page assistant (Rufus) for this product's price history and/or a quick pros/cons summary, the same thing you could do yourself by typing into Rufus. ShopIQ enters a short prompt into Rufus's search box, submits it, and reads the text Rufus displays back, then shows that as a chart or a list in the overlay. This is off by default; you have to turn it on.
This happens entirely inside your browser, using Rufus exactly as it already exists on the page. The prompts and Rufus's responses are never sent to ShopIQ or anyone else - only cached on your device (12 hours for pros/cons and the recent-months price view, 24 hours for the 1-year price view) so the same question isn't asked repeatedly.
ShopIQ's manifest lists permissions for Croma, Reliance Digital, Ajio, Meesho, Myntra, Reddit, and
YouTube. These are used only to fetch publicly available price listings and discussion threads for
the specific product you're currently viewing, so ShopIQ can show comparison prices and related
community discussion in the overlay. Each request sends only a short search query built from the
product's name (e.g. "Apple 2023 MacBook Pro"). It never includes your identity,
account, browsing history, or anything else about you.
These sites are independent of ShopIQ; any data they receive is handled under their own privacy policies, not this one.
ShopIQ stores a few things in chrome.storage.local, entirely on your device:
This data never leaves your browser. Uninstalling the extension removes it.
ShopIQ uses the browser tab APIs for two things: talking to its own overlay in your current tab, and, during an optional "analyze more reviews" scan, navigating that tab to Amazon's own review page and back (the same pages you could open yourself). No tab content is sent anywhere outside your browser.
All code ShopIQ runs ships inside the extension package you install. It does not download or execute any code at runtime.
ShopIQ does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal information to use it.
ShopIQ is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from children.
