Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 11, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to Cueston ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our Chrome browser extension and web application.

Information we collect

1. Authentication information

When you use the Cueston Chrome extension, we store your Cueston API key locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. This key is necessary to:

  • Authenticate your connection to the Cueston dashboard
  • Maintain your signed-in session
  • Enable the element picker functionality

Storage: Your API key is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to third parties.

2. Account information

When you create an account on cueston.com, we collect:

  • Email address (for account identification and communication)
  • Name (optional, for personalization)
  • Password (hashed and securely stored)

3. Usage data

We collect analytics data about how you use our service, including:

  • Product tours, tooltips, and banners you create
  • URL patterns where your content is displayed
  • View counts and engagement metrics for your content
  • Browser type and version (for compatibility purposes)

How we use your information

We use the collected information solely for the following purposes:

  • Service delivery: To provide and maintain our product tour and onboarding features
  • Authentication: To verify your identity and maintain secure access to your account
  • Analytics: To track engagement with your tours, tooltips, and banners
  • Support: To respond to your questions and provide customer support
  • Improvement: To improve our service and develop new features

What we do not do

We want to be clear about what we don't do with your data

  • We do not sell your data to third parties
  • We do not transfer your data to third parties (except as required by law)
  • We do not use your data for purposes unrelated to Cueston's core functionality
  • We do not use your data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes
  • We do not track your browsing history outside of the URLs you configure
  • We do not collect data from websites where you haven't configured Cueston

Data storage and security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS
  • Local storage: Your API key is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API
  • Password security: Passwords are hashed before storage
  • Access control: We implement strict access controls to limit who can access your data

Chrome extension permissions

Our Chrome extension requests the following permissions, which are used exclusively for the stated purposes:

activeTab
Used to access the current tab when you activate the element picker to select HTML elements on your webpage.
storage
Used to store your Cueston API key locally on your device.
tabs
Used to open the Cueston dashboard in a new tab and verify URLs to prevent operation on restricted pages.
scripting
Used to inject the element picker script when you explicitly activate the picker feature.
<all_urls> (host permissions)
Required because Cueston works on any website you configure. The extension only activates on URLs you explicitly set up in your dashboard.

Third-party services

We use the following third-party services to operate our platform:

  • Hosting: Our infrastructure is hosted on secure cloud servers
  • Database: We use Supabase for secure database management
  • Analytics: We may use analytics tools to understand service usage

These services are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for providing services to us.

Your rights

You have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Access: You can access your data through your dashboard at any time
  • Correction: You can update your account information in settings
  • Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data in settings, or ask us to do it
  • Export: You can request a copy of your data
  • Withdrawal: You can disconnect the extension at any time, which removes the locally stored key

Data retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it by law.

Children's privacy

Cueston is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it immediately.
