Is It Banned In Europe? is a browser extension and web tool that checks cosmetic ingredient lists against European Union regulatory data. This policy covers both the Chrome extension and the website at isitbannedineurope.com.
Nothing. The extension and website do not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. There are no accounts, no cookies, no analytics, no tracking pixels, and no third-party scripts.
When you visit a supported retailer product page, the extension reads the ingredient list from the page you are already viewing and checks it against a regulatory dataset bundled inside the extension itself. All processing happens locally in your browser. No data leaves your device. No network requests are made by the extension.
The extension requests permission to read pages on sephora.com. This permission is used solely to extract the ingredient list text from product pages. The extension cannot read your browsing history, your Sephora account information, your cart, or any other personal data on the page.
None. The extension is entirely self-contained. The regulatory dataset is bundled with the extension and updated only when you update the extension itself.
This product is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from children.
If we ever add features that change our data practices (such as optional analytics), we will update this policy before those features ship and note the changes here.
