Audit us.
Wuz is a tool for people who are tired of being handled by the buying process. It would be strange to ask you to just trust us. So don't — check. Here's exactly what Wuz does, and how you can verify every word of it yourself, without taking our word for anything.
The two rules Wuz is built on
- Never a confident phantom. When Wuz doesn't have enough data to be sure, it says so — an honest blank, never an invented number, deal, or verdict.
- Never monetize against you. Wuz makes money (someday) from people who find it useful — never from selling what it learns about you. The incentives are built so they can't quietly flip.
What Wuz does by default
Out of the box, Wuz runs entirely on your device. Your carts, your price history, and what you bought stay in your browser. There is no account to create, and nothing is uploaded unless you deliberately turn a sharing feature on.
- We don't sell data — there's nothing to sell, because most of what Wuz knows never leaves your machine.
- We don't run ads, and we don't take affiliate cuts that would bias what Wuz tells you.
- We don't build a profile of you or follow you around the web. Wuz reads your cart on the shop you're on; if you leave price-watch on, it also quietly checks those shops' own public product pages for price drops — it never sends anything about you, to us or anyone.
What can leave your browser — only if you switch it on
A few features let you help the wider Wuz community. They are all off by default, they are always anonymous, and they come in two honest shapes — we won't pretend they're the same:
- Reports you send by hand. If a shop won't read correctly, you can send a report. You review the exact, sanitized snapshot first — the send is the consent. Nothing goes until you tap send.
- Community signals you switch on. Turn on a sharing option — say, contributing anonymized price points so everyone can spot real deals — and, while it's on, Wuz sends a one-way-hashed signal about once a day, automatically, until you turn it back off. There's no per-send screen for these; there is also no identity — never your name, your cart contents, or the pages you visit.
Either way, whatever is shared is one-way hashed and carries no identity. The settings show exactly how many sharing options are on (for example, "2/4") — never a hidden one — and the full, itemized list of what each feature sends lives in the privacy policy, kept in step with what the extension actually does.
Don't trust us — verify it yourself
The whole point of this page: every claim above is checkable by you, in minutes.
1 · Watch the network tab
Open your browser's DevTools → Network and use Wuz on a shop with every sharing option off: it reads the cart locally and makes no calls to Wuz's servers. (If price-watch is on, you'll see it fetch a shop's own product page to check a price — never a third party, never anything about you.) Switch a community-sharing option on and you'll see the small, one-way-hashed signal it sends — and you can read exactly what's in it.
2 · Read the code you're running
A browser extension ships its full source to your machine — it can't hide anything. You (or anyone you trust) can inspect exactly what Wuz does. We'd rather you did.
3 · Check our honesty on your own carts
Wuz would rather show you a blank than a guess. Push it: open a cart it can't read cleanly, or one with barely any price history. It will tell you it isn't sure — it won't invent a "great deal" to look smart. That restraint is the product.
4 · Ask us anything
Security concern, privacy question, or you found something that looks wrong? Email hello@wuzcart.com. If we got something wrong, we'll say so and fix it — publicly.
Your data, your call
Because your data lives on your device, you're in control of it: keep it, back it up, or wipe it, on your terms. Your rights and how to exercise them are spelled out in the privacy policy; questions go to hello@wuzcart.com.
This page describes how Wuz works today and is kept in step with the product. If anything here ever disagrees with what the extension does, that's a bug — tell us and we'll correct it.
