In our investigation on Honey, we have shown that the browser extension collects their users’ data on a large scale. Regardless of whether an account has been registered or not, the add-on diligently logs page views on plenty of websites and sends them to the company behind the extension, Honey Science LLC, a US-based company that was bought by PayPal.

Did you use Honey and maybe weren’t aware of this data hoarding? Or do you simply want to know what Honey has saved about you? The GDPR grants you a number of rights regarding your personal data, including the right to request a free copy of all data a company has collected about you, the right of data access. In this post, we’ll explain how you can use this right with Honey.

Our investigation shows: The free browser extension Honey doesn't just collect coupon codes. Using the GDPR's right to data access, we have confirmed that they also permanently store their user's history data on a large scale. That's why we have submitted complaints.
