Privacy Policy — yad2 Apartment Saver

Last updated: 2025

What this extension does

yad2 Apartment Saver reads apartment listing pages on yad2.co.il and Facebook, extracts property details, and saves them to the user's own Google Sheets spreadsheet. All data belongs to the user and is stored in their own Google account.

Data we collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to our servers. There are no servers. The extension runs entirely on the user's machine.

Data the extension processes locally

• Apartment listing text — read from the active tab on yad2.co.il or Facebook to extract property details.
• Google OAuth token — obtained via Chrome's identity API to write to the user's own Google Sheet. Never stored or sent anywhere other than Google's Sheets API.
• User preferences (max price, desired rooms, floor, etc.) — stored locally in chrome.storage.local on the user's device only.
• Gemini API key (optional) — stored locally in chrome.storage.local and sent only to Google's Gemini API on the user's behalf. Never sent to any other party.

Third-party services

• Google Sheets API — used to append rows to the user's chosen spreadsheet. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Gemini API (optional) — if the user provides their own API key, listing text is sent to Gemini for data extraction. Governed by Google AI Terms.
• Ollama (optional) — if the user chooses Ollama, text is processed by a model running locally on their own machine. No data leaves the device.

Permissions explained

• identity — to authenticate with the user's Google account for Sheets access.
• storage — to save preferences and settings locally on the device.
• activeTab / scripting — to read listing content from the current yad2 or Facebook tab when the user clicks Save.
• tabs — to detect which site the user is on.

Data sharing

We do not share any user data with any third parties. No analytics, no tracking, no advertising.

Data retention

All data is stored exclusively in the user's own Google Sheet and in their browser's local storage. The user can delete it at any time by clearing the extension's storage or deleting their spreadsheet.
