Privacy Policy

Overview

ExpressTRADE is a Canadian dealer-to-dealer wholesale vehicle trading platform operated by ExpressTRADE Inc. This policy covers data collected by the ExpressTRADE web platform at expresstradeit.ca and the ExpressTRADE Importer Chrome extension.

What the Chrome extension collects

• Your ExpressTRADE API token, which you enter manually in the extension settings. Stored locally via chrome.storage.sync so you do not have to re-enter it.
• Vehicle data read from the auction site you are actively viewing when you click the Import button: VIN, year, make, model, trim, mileage, photos, damage photos, and the Carfax report associated with that vehicle. This data is cached transiently per browser tab and cleared when the tab is closed or navigated.

How the extension uses collected data

Collected data is sent exclusively to your own ExpressTRADE account at expresstradeit.ca via authenticated REST API calls, using the API token you provided. No data is sent to any third party.

What we do NOT do

• We do not sell or transfer user data to third parties.
• We do not use or transfer user data for purposes unrelated to importing vehicles into your ExpressTRADE account.
• We do not use or transfer user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
• We do not collect personally identifiable information, health information, financial information, personal communications, location data, web browsing history, or user activity outside of the import flow you explicitly trigger.

Data retention

The API token remains in chrome.storage.sync until you remove the extension or clear it manually in the extension settings. Vehicle data cached per tab is cleared when the tab closes. Data stored in your ExpressTRADE account is retained according to the platform's terms.

Permissions

The extension requests storage, activeTab, scripting, and tabs permissions, plus host permissions for supported auction sites, photo CDNs, carfax.ca/carfax.com, and expresstradeit.ca. Each permission is used solely to support the import workflow.
