Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 6, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Big 5 Archive ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information in connection with your use of the Big 5 Archive browser extension (the "Extension").

1. Information We Collect

• Visited URLs on Specific Newspaper Websites: When you navigate to websites matching our supported newspaper domains (The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times & The Athletic, The Washington Post, USA Today, The Los Angeles Times), the Extension checks the URL to determine if it is an article page. We do not store your general browsing history.
• Payment Status: We use a third-party payment processor, ExtPay, to manage subscriptions. The Extension receives information about your payment status (e.g., whether you have an active subscription) from ExtPay. We do not collect or store your full payment card details. Please refer to ExtPay's Privacy Policy for more information on their data practices.
• Data Stored Locally: The Extension may use your browser's local storage to save your payment status or preferences to enhance your experience and avoid repeated checks. This data is stored only on your device.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To Provide Functionality: We use the collected URL information to identify eligible articles and, if you have an active subscription, redirect your browser to an archived version of the article on archive.is. If a subscription is not active or payment verification fails, you may be redirected to our payment page.
• To Process Payments: Your payment status, managed via ExtPay, is used to grant access to the Extension's core features.
• Interaction with Archive.is: To provide the archiving service, the base URL of the article you are viewing (which excludes query parameters) is sent to archive.is. Please review the privacy policy of archive.is for how they handle this data.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information under the following limited circumstances:

• With Service Providers:
  • ExtPay: For processing subscriptions and payments.
  • Archive.is: For providing archived versions of articles. The URL of the article is shared with archive.is as described above.
• For Legal Reasons: We may disclose information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or other legal process.

4. Data Retention and Security

Visited URLs are processed in real-time for the purpose of redirection and are not stored by the Extension long-term. Payment status information may be stored locally on your device via browser storage. We rely on ExtPay for the security of your payment transaction data.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Your Choices and Rights

• You can disable or uninstall the Extension at any time through your browser's extension management settings. Uninstalling the extension will remove any locally stored data related to it.
• You can manage your subscription and payment information through ExtPay.

6. Children's Privacy

The Extension is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold if applicable in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
