Privacy Policy

Slabscout is a browser extension that identifies trading cards on live streams and shows market pricing. It is built to know as little about you as possible.

What we don't do

• No accounts, sign-ups, or passwords.
• No browsing-history collection. The extension only acts on Whatnot pages, and only when you press the scan key.
• No ads, no analytics trackers, no sale of any data to anyone.

What happens when you scan

• The video frame you capture is sent directly from your browser to Google's Gemini API using your own API key, solely to identify the card. Google's handling of free-tier requests is governed by Google's terms (free-tier content may be used to improve their services).
• The card's text identity (player, set, year, card number — never the image) is sent to the Slabscout pricing service to fetch market data. Requests carry a random install identifier used only for rate-limiting; it is not linked to your identity.
• Sold and ask prices shown to you come from eBay's public marketplace APIs and licensed pricing data.

What we store

• In your browser only: your API keys and settings (Chrome extension storage). They never touch our servers.
• On our servers: anonymous card-market data (which cards were priced and the resulting market data), used to make pricing faster and better for everyone. Nothing that identifies you.

Permissions the extension asks for

• whatnot.com — to add the overlay and read the stream frame you scan.
• storage — to keep your settings locally.
• generativelanguage.googleapis.com — to call Gemini with your key.
• our pricing API — to fetch card market data.
