Overview
Margen — Marketplace Intelligence (formerly Project M — Marketplace Intelligence, "the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension built by House of Brands for authorized users of the Margen analytics platform (formerly Project M). This policy explains what data the Extension collects, how it is used, and how it is protected.
Who Can Use This Extension
The Extension is intended solely for authorized users who have been provided login credentials by the Extension's operator (House of Brands / The TechGroup). It is not a general-purpose consumer tool.
Data We Collect
The Extension collects the following data only when you are logged in and browsing supported marketplace websites (Myntra, Flipkart, Ajio):
- Product information: Product titles, brand names, prices (MRP and selling price), discount details, product images, and article types from marketplace product pages you visit.
- Customer reviews: Review text, ratings, reviewer usernames, review dates, and review images from marketplace product pages.
- Login credentials: Your email and password are sent securely to the Margen backend for authentication. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plaintext.
The Extension does not collect:
- Personal browsing history or activity outside of supported marketplace sites
- Payment or financial information
- Personal identification documents
- Data from any website other than Myntra, Flipkart, Ajio, and the Margen platform
How We Use Your Data
All collected product and review data is transmitted to the Margen backend (hosted on Railway) and used exclusively to:
- Display sales analytics, return rates, and SKU performance data in an overlay on marketplace product pages
- Build a catalog of product images and review data for brands managed within the Margen platform
- Generate business intelligence reports for authorized workspace users
Data Storage and Security
- All data is stored in a secured PostgreSQL database hosted on Railway.
- Data is organized by workspace — each client can only access data within their authorized workspace(s).
- Authentication uses HMAC-signed tokens with automatic expiration.
- All communication between the Extension and the backend occurs over HTTPS.
- Login sessions are stored locally in Chrome's extension storage and can be cleared by logging out.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share any collected data with third parties. Data is only accessible to authorized users within their assigned Margen workspace.
Permissions Explained
