Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 23, 2026

1. Introduction

DATASHOP SOLUTIONS ("Nifty", "we", "us", or "our") operates the Nifty web scraping browser extensions and the nifty.codes website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our services.

By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect:

  • Email address
  • Password (stored securely using industry-standard hashing)

Usage Data: To improve our product, we collect anonymized usage metrics including:

  • Feature usage patterns (e.g. which scrapers are used, export formats chosen)
  • Page views on our website and panel
  • General performance metrics (e.g. how quickly pages load)

Your identity is anonymized before any usage data is recorded — we hash your user ID so it cannot be traced back to your account. We never track what you scrape, what websites you visit, or any content from your browsing activity.

Payment Information: Payment processing is handled by our third-party payment processor, Polar. We do not store your credit card information. We only receive confirmation of successful transactions and subscription status.

3. How Your Scraped Data is Handled

All scraping happens locally in your browser. The data you scrape from websites is:

  • Processed entirely on your device
  • Stored temporarily in your browser's local storage
  • Exported directly to your device
  • Never transmitted to or stored on our servers

We have no access to the content you scrape. Your scraped data remains entirely under your control.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and maintain our services
  • Process your subscription and payments
  • Send transactional emails (account confirmations, password resets, subscription updates)
  • Improve our services through anonymized analytics
  • Enforce usage limits based on your subscription tier

We do not send marketing emails. All communications are strictly transactional and service-related.

5. Data Sharing

We share your information only with:

  • Polar: Our payment processor, to handle subscription billing and payments
  • PostHog: Our analytics provider, to help us understand how our product is used. PostHog receives only anonymized usage data and is hosted in the EU. No personal information or scraped content is shared

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any other third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account:

  • Your personal data is immediately and permanently deleted from our systems
  • Anonymized usage statistics may be retained for analytical purposes

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:

  • Passwords are hashed using bcrypt
  • All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption
  • Access to user data is restricted to essential operations only

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

8. Browser Extension Permissions

Our browser extensions request the following permissions:

  • Storage: To save your settings and temporary scraping data locally
  • Tabs: To interact with the websites you're scraping
  • Downloads: To export your scraped data to files
  • Host permissions: To access the specific websites each scraper is designed for

These permissions are used solely for the functionality of the scraper and do not allow us to access your browsing history or data from other websites.

9. Analytics

We use PostHog, an analytics platform hosted in the European Union, to understand how people use Nifty so we can make it better. Here's what that means in practice:

  • What we track: Button clicks, feature usage, page views, and general performance metrics within our extensions, website, and panel
  • What we don't track: The content you scrape, the websites you visit, your browsing history, or any personal information
  • How we anonymize: Your user ID is cryptographically hashed before being sent to analytics — it cannot be reversed to identify you
  • Where data is stored: All analytics data is processed and stored in the EU

Analytics helps us answer questions like "which export format is most popular" or "do people use the search feature" — not "what is a specific user doing."

10. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Delete your account and all associated data
  • Export your account information

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@nifty.codes.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
