Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 11, 2026

IsItWired ("we", "the extension") is a Chrome extension that helps government contracting professionals evaluate SAM.gov opportunities. We take privacy seriously and collect as little data as possible.

1. What we collect

On your device only:

• Local usage counters (number of contracts analyzed, weekly count) stored in Chrome local storage.
• User preferences (Pro toggle, mock-data toggle) stored in Chrome local storage.
• A short-lived, in-memory cache of contract intelligence lookups.

We do not collect:

• Your name, email, or any personally identifying information.
• Your browsing history outside of SAM.gov opportunity pages.
• Login credentials for SAM.gov, Cloudflare, or any other service.
• Analytics events, cookies, or fingerprinting data.

2. What data leaves your browser

When you view a SAM.gov opportunity, the extension queries public federal contracting data from USASpending.gov (a U.S. government API) to look up prior award history. The request contains only:

• The awarding agency name (from the SAM.gov page you are viewing).
• The NAICS code (from the SAM.gov page you are viewing).
• A small number of keywords derived from the opportunity title.

No user identifier is sent with these queries. USASpending.gov is a public API operated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

The extension may also fall back to our own Cloudflare Worker at api.isitwired.com if the direct call fails. The Worker forwards the same query to USASpending.gov and does not log request contents.

3. What we do NOT do

• We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties.
• We do not run advertising or analytics scripts inside the extension.
• We do not read, modify, or transmit any page content outside of SAM.gov opportunity pages.
• We do not access your clipboard, camera, microphone, or location.

4. Permissions

The extension requests these Chrome permissions:

• storage — to save local counters and preferences.
• alarms — for periodic cache cleanup.
• identity — reserved for future optional Pro sign-in; not used to collect data.
• host access to sam.gov — to read the opportunity page you are viewing.
• host access to api.usaspending.gov — to query public federal contract data.
• host access to api.isitwired.com — fallback endpoint for the same public data.

5. Data retention

All local data lives only on your device. You can clear it any time by removing the extension or clearing extension storage in Chrome. The short-lived server cache (if used) expires within one hour.

6. Children

IsItWired is a professional tool for government contracting professionals. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

7. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will also be noted in the extension's release notes on the Chrome Web Store.
