1. What We Collect
Data stored on your device only
The following data is stored in Chrome's local extension storage and is never transmitted to our servers:
| Data | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Filter settings (countries, cities, max shipping, min rating, age filter) | Remember your filter preferences | Until you reset them or uninstall the extension |
| Item cache (seller country/city, shipping price, rating, listing age) | Avoid re-fetching the same item page | 7 days, then auto-expired |
Data sent to us
None. Rackoon is free, has no accounts and no licensing, so the extension does not send any data to a server of ours during normal use. There is no installation identifier, no licence check, and no cookie set by us.
The one exception is entirely optional and user-initiated: if you uninstall the extension, Chrome opens a feedback page where you may choose to send a short message about why you left. Nothing is sent unless you submit that form yourself.
2. What We Don't Collect
- Your Vinted username, email, or account details
- Your Vinted session cookies or authentication tokens (the extension causes your browser to include these in requests on your behalf, but we never receive or store them)
- The items you viewed, searched for, or purchased on Vinted
- Your name, email address, or billing information
- Your IP address (we do not log it in our application; Cloudflare, our infrastructure provider, may process it per their own privacy policy)
- Any data from websites other than the supported Vinted domains
We do not use, sell, or transfer your data for advertising or marketing purposes.
3. How the Extension Accesses Vinted Pages
To show seller location, shipping cost, and other details on Vinted catalog pages, the extension fetches individual item pages directly from Vinted using your existing logged-in session. This is equivalent to your browser visiting those pages on your behalf.
- The extension reads only publicly visible information from each item page (seller location, shipping price, rating, listing age)
- None of this information is transmitted to our servers
- All parsed data is cached locally on your device for up to 7 days
4. Permissions We Use

5. Third-Party Services
Rackoon uses no third-party service to run: no analytics, no advertising network, no payment processor, and no backend of ours that processes your data during normal use. The extension talks only to Vinted, using the session you are already logged in with.
The optional uninstall feedback page is hosted on Cloudflare. If you choose to submit feedback there, that message is processed on Cloudflare's infrastructure, which may be located outside the European Economic Area. Cloudflare acts as a data sub-processor under their Data Processing Addendum and participates in the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
6. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
| Processing activity | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Local caching of Vinted item data | Legitimate interest of the user (improving browsing experience) — Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Local storage of your filter settings | Legitimate interest of the user (remembering your preferences) — Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Optional uninstall feedback you submit | Consent — Art. 6(1)(a) |
7. Data Retention
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Item cache | 7 days (auto-expired), deleted on uninstall |
| Filter settings | Until you reset them or uninstall the extension |
| Optional uninstall feedback you submit | Until you request deletion |
8. Your Rights (GDPR / EEA)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Erasure — request deletion of any uninstall feedback you submitted
- Rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
- Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
- Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interest
- Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent (currently not applicable)
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below. We will respond within 30 days. In practice we hold almost nothing about you — your filter settings and item cache live only in your own browser, where you can clear them yourself at any time.
To delete your local data immediately: uninstall the extension. All data in Chrome's local storage is removed on uninstall. If you disable rather than uninstall the extension, locally stored data persists until you uninstall.
9. International Data Transfers
Normal use of the extension transfers no data to us at all, so there is nothing to transfer internationally. If you choose to submit uninstall feedback, that message is processed on Cloudflare's infrastructure, which may be located outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Those transfers are covered by Cloudflare's Standard Contractual Clauses and their participation in the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
10. Children's Privacy
The extension is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect data from children. Vinted itself requires users to be at least 18 years old.
11. Changes to This Policy
We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we make material changes. Significant changes will also be noted in the Chrome Web Store update description.
12. Chrome Web Store User Data Policy
The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
