Affirm expanded its browser extension data collection disclosures and added Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to the list of personal information it collects. The updated policy now explicitly describes collecting website domain, page URL, cart contents, product details, pricing, and related page information from merchant websites accessed through the browser extension or in-app browser, whereas the prior version only mentioned collecting website domain. Users can now disable collection through additional methods: hiding the extension or choosing not to use the in-app browser for merchant browsing.
