Auto Max Bid for Whatnot: Privacy Policy

Effective October 24, 2026

This policy covers the Auto Max Bid for Whatnot browser extension (the "extension"). "We" means its developer. The extension is an independent tool, not made or endorsed by Whatnot.

In short: the extension doesn't sell your data, show ads, or have accounts. By default nothing leaves your browser. If you turn on Share bid amounts, it sends a small amount of anonymous usage data, described below.

What stays in your browser

• Your settings (max bid, bid limit, Automatic, and Don't submit), your display choices (style, theme, and button size), whether you share bid amounts, and a record of when you agreed to the extension's Terms of Use are saved in your browser's extension storage, so they're kept between visits.
• The recent bids list, with item names, amounts and outcomes, exists only in the open Whatnot page and is cleared when you reload it.
• The extension reads Whatnot live pages only to find the bid controls and item names it needs to work.

None of this is sent anywhere.

Sharing bid amounts (optional)

Share bid amounts is off unless you turn it on, on the screen where you agree to the Terms of Use or in the extension's settings menu. While it's on, each time the extension places a bid, it sends:

• the max bid amount;
• a random ID, made when you turned sharing on, so bids from one install can be told apart from another's; and
• the time of the bid, and of the first bid in the same sitting, so bids can be grouped into sessions.

It never sends item names, sellers, your Whatnot account or username, or anything else from the page.

We use this only to understand how the extension is used, such as how many bids it places and what they add up to. We don't sell it, use it for advertising, combine it with other data, or use it to identify you.

Who handles it

• Our server, which runs on Cloudflare, receives each report. Like any web request, it arrives with your IP address. The server uses that only to limit how many reports can come from one place, doesn't store it, and doesn't pass it on. Cloudflare handles the request under its privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.
• Google Analytics stores the report. It receives it from our server, not from your browser, so it doesn't get your IP address. Google handles it under its privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Turning it off and deleting data

• Turning sharing off stops it and deletes the random ID from your browser, so anything shared after you turn it back on can't be linked to what was shared before.
• Uninstalling the extension removes everything it saved in your browser.
• Google Analytics deletes individual reports after its data retention period and keeps only totals. Reports carry only the random ID, so we can't tell which ones are yours.

Chrome Web Store

The extension's use of data complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Changes

If this policy changes, the effective date at the top changes too. If what the extension shares changes, it asks you to agree to its Terms of Use again before it continues.
