Affirm expanded its browser extension data collection disclosures and added Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to the types of personal information it may collect. The updated privacy notice now specifies that the browser extension may collect merchant webpage information including cart contents, product details, pricing, and page URLs when enabled, and states this data is used to provide extension features and personalized experiences. Previously, the notice only mentioned collecting the domain of visited websites. Users can now limit collection through settings, disabling the extension, uninstalling it, or hiding it.

1 obligation expanded

What this means for you

The updated privacy notice specifies that Affirm's browser extension may collect merchant webpage data including website domain, page URL, cart contents, product details, pricing, and quantities when you use the extension or in-app browser. The policy clarifies that collected information is used to provide and improve extension features, deliver personalized experiences, and support related services. The notice now also identifies Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) as a type of personal information Affirm may collect. You can limit or stop collection by disabling the extension in browser settings, uninstalling it, hiding it, or choosing not to use the in-app browser where an alternative is available.

What you can do

Review the browser extension data collection disclosure in the updated privacy policy if you use Affirm's browser extension.

Disable, uninstall, or hide the browser extension in your browser settings if you do not want Affirm to collect merchant webpage information.

Use the in-app browser alternative if available rather than Affirm's in-app browser to limit collection.
