TailIQ Verify Privacy Policy
This policy explains how the TailIQ Verify browser extension, account website, and Plus entitlement service handle data.
Data processed
Account labels, issuers, TOTP secrets, algorithm parameters, ordering preferences, reliability snapshots, and backup status are stored in extension-specific local storage in the current browser profile. Verification codes are calculated on the device.
Transmission and sharing
TailIQ Verify does not send account data, TOTP secrets, or verification codes to TailIQ or third parties. A code is written to the system clipboard only after you explicitly click it.
Backups and retention
Encrypted backups are created and downloaded only when you request them. TailIQ does not hold the backup file or master password. Uninstalling the extension, deleting the browser profile, changing computers, or device failure may remove local data.
Account, billing, device, and security records
If you use Plus, TailIQ processes your email address, Magic Link sessions, Paddle customer and subscription references, product entitlement, browser type, operating system, device label, device public key, and last-seen time. When the production security-audit control is enabled, a successful sign-in or confirmed device connection may also record the source IP address and an approximate country derived by trusted server infrastructure. These records provide purchase recovery, enforce the three-device limit, support account security and investigate abuse. Raw IP addresses are retained for up to 90 days, are restricted to authorized administrators, and are not used for advertising or profiling. TailIQ does not receive or store complete card details.
Permission use
storage is used for local accounts, snapshots, preferences, and signed entitlement data. clipboardWrite is used only when you explicitly copy a verification code. Optional access to apps.tailiq.com is requested only when you connect or refresh Plus; it is not used to read other webpages.
Chrome Web Store Limited Use
TailIQ Verify complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Information obtained through the extension is used only to provide or improve its disclosed single purpose, and is not used for advertising, profiling, or sale.
External-channel link measurement
When you click an official Chrome, Edge, or TailIQ-listed Xianyu link on the TailIQ website, the website increments an anonymous daily aggregate containing only the product, destination channel, site language, click count, last-click time, and any complete allowlisted campaign identifiers. The same link is counted once per browser-tab session. The active window is 180 days; expired aggregates are deleted when the next valid click is accepted. TailIQ does not store an account or visitor ID, email, IP address, User-Agent, referrer, page path, cookie, browsing history, extension usage, or page or file content for this measurement. Public events may include bots, so a click proves neither an installation, an order, nor a unique person.
