1. What we collect
Kodus is designed to be privacy-first. The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information. Specifically, we do not collect:
- Your name, email address, or contact details
- Your browsing history or pages visited
- Your purchase history or checkout data
- Cookies, login credentials, or session tokens
- IP addresses tied to user identities
2. What the extension does
When you visit a supported online store, the Kodus Chrome extension reads the
current page's domain only (e.g. nike.com) and sends it to our API
to look up matching creator discount codes. That's it.
The domain lookup is stateless — we don't log who asked, we don't link requests together, and we don't build a profile of your shopping habits.
3. Where our codes come from
Discount codes shown in Kodus are scraped from publicly available YouTube videos and descriptions using the YouTube Data API. We don't access any private content, and creators are not contacted or tracked.
4. YouTube API Services
Kodus uses the YouTube Data API v3 to search for publicly available video metadata including titles, descriptions and comments. We extract only discount code text and creator channel names from this data. We do not store video content, thumbnails, or personal YouTube user data. We do not access private YouTube accounts or user data of any kind.
Our use of YouTube API Services is subject to Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You may revoke Kodus access to YouTube-related data at any time via Google's security settings at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.
YouTube API data is retained only as long as it remains relevant — discount codes are automatically deactivated after 90 days of inactivity and removed from active display.
5. Cookies and local storage
The extension uses Chrome's local storage to remember your preferences (e.g. a custom API endpoint, if you ever set one). This data stays on your device and is never sent to us.
The kodus.live website does not use cookies or third-party analytics.
6. Third-party services
Our backend uses Supabase for database storage and the YouTube Data API for sourcing codes. Neither service receives any user-identifying information from us, because we don't have any to send.
7. Children's privacy
Kodus is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect any information from them.
8. Changes to this policy
If we ever change how the extension works in a way that affects this policy, we'll update the date at the top and post a notice on this page. Material changes affecting how data is handled will be highlighted in the extension itself.
