Privacy Policy Chrome Extension

Evercopy Social Collector — Last updated: July 23, 2026

1. What This Extension Does

Evercopy Social Collector is a browser extension that helps marketing teams collect publicly available social media post data (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook) for competitive analysis purposes. It works exclusively with the Evercopy platform.

2. Data We Collect

The extension collects only publicly visible information from social media profile pages you explicitly navigate to:

• Post metadata: caption text, post date, like/comment/view/share counts, media type (image, video, carousel)
• Profile metadata: username, display name, follower/following counts, bio text, profile picture URL
• Media URLs: thumbnail and media URLs as displayed on the public page

We do not collect:

• Your personal login credentials or session tokens
• Private messages, stories, or non-public content
• Data from accounts you don't explicitly visit
• Browsing history or activity outside of social media platforms
• Any data when you're not actively running a collection

3. How We Use Cookies Permission

The extension requests the cookies permission solely to check whether you are logged into the social media platform before starting a collection. This is necessary because some platforms show limited public data to logged-out users. We never read, store, or transmit your cookie values or session tokens.

3b. How We Use the declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess Permission

Instagram's public "share count" for Reels/videos is only returned by Instagram's own mobile API endpoint (i.instagram.com), which requires the request to carry a mobile-app User-Agent header. Browser fetch() requests cannot set a custom User-Agent, so the extension uses a narrowly-scoped declarativeNetRequest session rule that rewrites the User-Agent header only for requests matching i.instagram.com/api/v1/media/*. No other site, request, or header is affected. The rule does not block, redirect, or read the content of any request — it only rewrites one header on one specific first-party Instagram API path so that publicly-visible share counts can be read using your existing logged-in Instagram session, the same way the rest of the extension already reads other publicly-visible post metrics.

4. Where Data Is Sent

Collected post data is sent exclusively to the Evercopy platform servers (*.evercopy.ai or *.beyond-advertising.com) associated with your authenticated workspace. Data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored in your workspace's database.

5. Data Storage & Retention

• Collected data is stored in your Evercopy workspace and is accessible only to authorized team members
• You can delete collected data at any time from within the Evercopy platform
• No data is stored locally in the extension beyond temporary processing during an active collection session

6. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share collected data with any third parties. Data flows only between the extension and your Evercopy workspace.

7. User Control

• The extension only runs when you explicitly start a collection
• You choose which profiles to collect data from
• You can uninstall the extension at any time to stop all functionality
• You can delete all collected data from your Evercopy workspace

8. Security

All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption. The extension follows Chrome's Manifest V3 security model with isolated content scripts and a service worker architecture.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
