Privacy Policy — Riju

Last updated: September 22, 2026

Riju is a Chrome extension that checks a clothing product page's published details against a textile watchlist bundled inside the extension. This page explains what Riju does and does not do with your data.

Short version

Riju does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data, browsing history, or page content. Everything happens locally, inside your browser, only when you click "Scan this page."

What Riju accesses, and when

Riju uses Chrome's activeTab and scripting permissions. These only grant access to the single tab you are viewing, and only for the moment after you click the "Scan this page" button in the popup. Riju has no host_permissions and cannot read any page in the background — it cannot see anything you do before you click Scan, or on any tab other than the one you scanned.

When you click Scan, Riju reads, from that one page:

• Visible and disclosed product text (name, brand, materials/composition, care and certification details), including text inside collapsed "Details" or "Materials & Care" panels that Riju opens programmatically to read.
• Structured product data already published on the page for search engines and shopping tools (for example, meta tags and JSON-LD product schema).

What Riju does with that data

The text Riju reads is compared, entirely inside your browser, against a textile watchlist file (watchlist.json) that ships bundled inside the extension itself. This comparison happens in memory and produces the result you see in the popup.

Riju makes no network requests. It does not send the page you scanned, the product data it read, or the result it produced to any server — including to the developer of Riju. Nothing you scan ever leaves your device. The only network-shaped call in the code is a local read of the bundled watchlist file that is packaged inside the extension.

What Riju stores

Riju does not use chrome.storage, cookies, or any other persistence mechanism. It keeps no history of pages you've scanned and no results, on your device or anywhere else. Closing the popup discards the scan result; scanning again re-reads the page from scratch.

Third parties

Riju does not integrate with, or share data with, any third-party service, analytics provider, or advertising network.

Changes to this policy

If Riju's data handling ever changes, this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date above will reflect the change.
