AppMetis

Browser extension privacy policy

Last updated 12 November 2026

The AppMetis extension shows app data from AppMetis on Google Play (play.google.com) and App Store (apps.apple.com) pages. This page explains exactly what it does with data. The AppMetis privacy policy covers the website and your account.

What the extension sends to AppMetis

  • The store (Google Play or App Store) and the app id of the app pages and app cards you open on play.google.com and apps.apple.com, so AppMetis can return the numbers for those apps.
  • The text you type into the extension's search box or after the "am" keyword in the address bar.
  • When you connect your account, an access token that tells AppMetis which account is asking.

That is all. The extension does not read or send your browsing history, other websites, the content of store pages, your store account or any personal data.

What stays in your browser

  • Your settings (Chrome sync storage).
  • The access token when you connect your account (local to this browser).
  • The last 20 apps you viewed, for the popup's recent list (local to this browser).
  • A short cache of app data so pages load fast (cleared when the browser closes).

Uninstalling the extension deletes all of it.

What AppMetis keeps

Our servers keep standard request logs (IP address, time and the requested address, which includes the app id) for security and rate limits. They rotate within 30 days. For a connected browser we store a hash of its token and when it was last used. We never sell this data, never use it for ads and never share it with third parties.

Permissions

  • Access to play.google.com and apps.apple.com: to show the AppMetis panel and the numbers on app cards.
  • Access to appmetis.com: to fetch app data and to connect your account.
  • Storage: for the settings, token and cache above.
  • Context menus: for "Look up in AppMetis" when you right-click a store link or selected text.
  • Downloads: only when you press a download button for an app's icon or screenshots.

Disconnecting

Disconnect from the extension's settings or from Connected browsers. The token stops working at once. Questions: [email protected].
