Maps Data Scraper browser extension

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 August 2026

Maps Data Scraper helps users collect publicly available Google Maps business information and export it to CSV or Excel. This policy explains, in plain language, what information the extension handles and why.

1. Information we handle

The extension reads public business listing information displayed on Google Maps, such as business names, categories, addresses, contact details, websites, ratings, opening information, listed features, coordinates and Google place identifiers.

It may also process a random installation identifier and basic request information, such as an IP address, where needed to operate and protect the service. The installation identifier is not based on your identity, hardware or Google account.

The extension does not access your passwords, cookies, bookmarks, payment information, Google account details, personal communications or content from websites other than Google Maps. It does not include advertising or analytics tracking.

2. How we use information

Information is used to:

  • Create and maintain the business list you choose to export.
  • Show whether BasedOnBusiness has additional email, social-profile or technology information for a business, including masked previews.
  • Add eligible public business listings to the shared BasedOnBusiness business dataset. This contribution is a built-in part of the extension and cannot be disabled separately.
  • Operate, secure and improve the reliability of the extension.

3. Local storage, retention and deletion

Your collected export list and extension settings are stored locally in Chrome. You can clear the collected list from the extension, and uninstalling the extension removes its local data and stops future processing.

Clearing local results does not withdraw information already submitted or being processed by BasedOnBusiness. Contributed public business records may be retained as part of the shared dataset. Operational information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide, protect and comply with legal obligations relating to the service.

4. Sharing of information

Information is processed by BasedOnBusiness and by service providers that help us host, operate and protect the extension. Public business listing data contributed by the extension may be used in BasedOnBusiness products and services.

We do not sell extension-user personal information or share it with advertisers, data brokers or third parties for behavioural advertising, credit assessment or unrelated profiling.

5. Security and Chrome Web Store Limited Use

Information sent by the extension is transmitted securely, and we use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the service.

Our use of information received from Google APIs and Google properties adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Information is used only for the extension functions described in this policy and related security, support and legal obligations.

6. Changes and contact

We may update this policy when the extension or applicable requirements change. The current version will always be published at this address with its last-updated date.
