Privacy AV HELPER

**Last updated: 2026-05-07**

The **av.by helper** browser extension does not collect, store, sell, or transmit any personal data.

## What the extension does

av.by helper runs only on **av.by** and its subdomains (cars.av.by, parts.av.by, moto.av.by, truck.av.by, bus.av.by, salon.av.by, koleso.av.by, spec.av.by, boat.av.by). It reads the public content of those pages and the public API of av.by (web-api.av.by) in order to:

- Display alternate-currency prices (USD / RUB / EUR) next to or instead of Belarusian rubles

- Show analytical information about the listing the user is viewing — average price, price history, listing age, dealer rating

- Provide UI features such as a per-listing "hide" button

## What we store

The extension uses the standard Chrome storage APIs to remember the user's own preferences:

- Selected currency, display mode, theme preference, master on/off toggle, and option toggles — saved with `chrome.storage.sync` so they follow the user across their Chrome browsers (managed by the user's own Google account)

- A list of av.by listing IDs the user has manually hidden, and a snapshot of the latest BYN→USD exchange rate read from av.by — saved with `chrome.storage.local` on the user's device

None of the stored data is personally identifying.

## What we do NOT do

- We do not contact any third-party server. All requests go to av.by only.

- We do not collect personally identifiable information.

- We do not sell, share, or transfer any user data.

- We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.

- We do not execute any remote code (no `eval()`, no externally loaded JavaScript or WebAssembly). All extension code is bundled inside the extension package.

- We do not modify or interfere with av.by's data — the extension is read-only with respect to the site.

## Permissions used

- **storage** — to remember user preferences and the list of manually hidden listings

- **host_permissions: `*://*.av.by/*`** — to run on av.by pages and read their content for the features listed above

## Children

The extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any data from them.
