DABA Match
DABA Match is a Chrome extension that tells you whether a product shown on a
retailer’s product page — a power tool, camera, printer, PC part,
appliance, bike part, vacuum accessory or car part — fits something you already
own.
The short version. DABA Match sends nothing to anyone, with one
exception: activating a pass you’ve paid for. There is no account and no
analytics. Nothing else you do in the extension leaves your computer.
What is stored
The list of items you add to your garage — tools, batteries, cameras, printers,
PC parts, appliances, bikes, vacuums or cars — plus any custom names you give
them, your market preference, and your pass status: how many of your 5 free checks
you’ve used, and (once you’ve bought one) which pass you’re on and
when it expires. This is held in your browser’s local extension storage
(chrome.storage.local) on your own machine.
You can see everything stored by opening the extension popup — that list is the
entirety of it. Removing an item deletes it. Uninstalling the extension deletes all of
it.
What is read, and not kept
On the retailer pages listed in the extension’s Chrome Web Store description,
DABA Match reads the product title of the page you are viewing, in order to work out
which product it is. That reading happens inside your browser and lasts as long as the
page is open. The title is not stored, not logged, and not transmitted.
The compatibility catalog the title is compared against is bundled inside the
extension itself. Checking a product does not involve contacting anyone.
Passes and payment
DABA Match is free for 5 product checks. After that, checking a product requires a
pass — weekly, monthly, or yearly — sold through Lemon Squeezy, which acts
as merchant of record. DABA Match never sees your card details or billing information;
Lemon Squeezy’s own checkout page collects those directly, under Lemon
Squeezy’s privacy policy, not this one.
When you activate a pass — pasting the license key your purchase emailed you and
tapping Activate — the extension sends that key to Lemon Squeezy’s License
API to confirm it’s genuine and find out when it expires. This is the only
network request DABA Match ever makes, and it happens only when you take that action,
never automatically and never on a timer. The result (which pass, and its expiry date)
is then stored locally like everything else in this policy.
What is not collected
No personal information. No names, email addresses, or accounts. No card or billing
information — Lemon Squeezy collects that, not DABA Match, and only at the
moment you buy a pass. No location. No browsing history. No page content beyond the
one product title read to answer your question. No advertising or tracking
identifiers of our own, and no cookies are set or read by DABA Match itself.
DABA Match contains no advertising and no third-party code or analytics libraries. It
does contain affiliate links — see the next section.
Affiliate disclosure
DABA Match participates in affiliate programmes: Amazon Associates, AliExpress, and
Temu. Where the extension shows a compatible alternative you don’t already own,
that item may link out to a retailer through one of these programmes, and DABA Match
may earn a commission if you buy something after following it — at no extra cost
to you. This is disclosed in the extension’s own interface as well, not just
here.
Following an affiliate link takes you to the retailer’s own site, where their
privacy policy and cookies apply, not ours. DABA Match’s own compatibility check
never depends on whether a link is tagged: the verdict is the same either way.
Sharing
Nothing is collected, so nothing is shared, sold, or transferred to anyone —
except the one license-key check described above, sent to Lemon Squeezy only when you
activate a pass you’ve bought, and used by them for nothing but confirming that
purchase. This does not change if the extension changes hands.
Children
DABA Match is a shopping tool and is not directed at children. It collects no data
from anyone, of any age.
Changes
If a future version adds anything that leaves your machine — a sync feature, for
example — this policy will be updated before that version ships, and the change will
be described in the extension’s Web Store listing. The version of this policy
that applies is the one dated above.
