If you still have it installed

A listing leaving the store does not by itself remove the extension from browsers that already have it. If you still have it, you can see what it can reach and remove it in a minute:

1. Type chrome://extensions in the address bar and find the extension in the list.
2. Open its details. The site access setting shows where it can run; set it to run only on click and it reaches a page only after you press its icon.
3. To uninstall it, choose Remove on the same page.

What data it declares

The developer declares that it collects these kinds of data:

• Personally identifiable information such as name, address, email address or age
• Web history the list of pages you visit

The developer also certifies that your data is not sold to third parties outside approved uses, not used for purposes unrelated to the extension's core function, and not used to decide creditworthiness or lending.

The listing links to a privacy policy.

This is the developer's own declaration in the Chrome Web Store. We cannot check it against what the extension does.

What Chrome asks you to allow

When you add it, Chrome asks you to allow it to:

• Read and change your data on all hapstack.com sites
• Read and change your browsing history on all your signed-in devices
• Know your email address

Derived from the manifest by Chrome's documented rules; the dialog's exact wording depends on your Chrome version and language. Chrome asks again if an update requests more.

What the store shows

The listing is no longer in the store, so none of the store's badges apply to it now.

Has it asked for more over time?

This is the question a permission list on its own cannot answer. An extension that shipped narrow and widened later is a different proposition from one that always asked for the same thing.

The permissions this extension requests have not changed since we started watching it.

Who publishes it
