On desktop the extension does the work for you — just browse. On mobile you have five ways to look something up.
On desktop
On any of the 30 supported retailers, a badge appears in the top-right of the product page after a couple of seconds. It shows an overall trust ring, the four indicators (Made in, Ships from, Retailer, Money goes to), and the ultimate parent company if one applies.
Click the badge to expand it. Inside, "How was this scored?" opens the full source breakdown — every trademark filing, customs record, and brand disclosure the score is based on.

The most common question isn't "how do I install" — it's "why did you say that?" Here's what every number and flag on the score card means. Every score is produced by Claude AI reading the product page in full and cross-checking against trademark filings, customs records, seller storefronts, and brand websites — with each claim cited so you can check the work.
Deliberately a mixed result: one strong finding, one uncertain, and one we could not establish at all. Every element is labeled.
The colors are driven by a published list we do not maintain, refreshed against each new edition of the report. Read the full rule, including which countries are on it today and what the designation does and does not mean, in the Terms and on this page. Hovering any label, confidence value, or colored bar in the extension shows the same explanation in place.
Every product is scored across four questions. They can each point at a different country, and often do.
Each row shows a percentage and a confidence, and they answer different questions. The percentage is how much of that answer we attribute to that country. The confidence is how sure we are of the answer at all. "China 88%, low confidence" and "China 41%, high confidence" mean very different things, which is why we show both instead of collapsing them into one score.
Confidence below 40% is shown but flagged as tentative — treat it as a lead, not a conclusion. We would rather publish a low number than round a guess up into something that looks certain.
A bar is red when that country appears on the US State Department's published list of governments with a documented "policy or pattern" of human trafficking, and we attribute a majority of the row to it. Amber means the same list, but our attribution is uncertain. Everything else is neutral.
The list is not ours and we do not curate it. It currently contains thirteen countries — Afghanistan, Belarus, Burma, Cambodia, China, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Russia, South Sudan, Sudan and Syria — and the rule is applied identically to all of them. If the State Department revises the list, our colors change with it. Source: Trafficking in Persons Report, 2025 edition.
What it does not mean. This is a determination about a government, published by another government. It is not a finding about the company, the brand, or the product you are looking at, and it does not mean that product was made with forced labour. A red bar tells you where something comes from and what has been published about that country — the conclusion is yours to draw.
Sometimes a row shows Not specified instead of a country. This means none of our sources — product page, seller history, brand records, trademark filings, customs data, category priors — surfaced a confident answer for that indicator. It's an honest gap, not a guess. We'd rather show nothing than invent an answer.
The retailer or brand name you see on a listing is often part of a larger corporate family. Ultimately: [company] tells you the top-of-chain parent. This matters most for the Money goes to indicator — who profits from a purchase isn't always the name on the label.
Wrong scores, broken features, missing retailers, privacy concerns — every one of these matters and every one has a direct path in. Pick the one that fits.
Most common
If a product's country or confidence looks off, this is the fastest way to get it corrected. Contested scores are reviewed manually and corrections propagate to every future scan.
Bugs
Extension won't load, badge stuck spinning, mobile app crashes, a button doesn't do anything — those are bugs, and we squash them fast. Reply within two business days; serious bugs get a same-day acknowledgement.
Coverage
We currently score Amazon, Target, Walmart, and 30 other major retailers. Want us to add another, or noticed a brand we've never seen? Requests feed the backlog directly and we prioritize by what people actually ask for.
Privacy

Try in this order:
/dp/, /gp/product/, /p/, or /ip/). Category pages, search results, and cart pages are skipped intentionally.This usually means the extension can't reach our backend. Possible causes:

The free allowance is 20 checks, one time — it's a trial, not a monthly quota, so it doesn't reset. Products you already scored keep working permanently at no charge; the allowance only applies to scoring a product you haven't checked before. Options:
Sources, citations, and the ability to contest a score are available on every tier, including Free. See pricing for the full comparison.
You want the latest app version installed — earlier builds only supported full Amazon URLs, but the Amazon app usually shares a shortened a.co link. Recent builds resolve any shortener (a.co, amzn.to, t.co, bit.ly, and more) automatically.
If you're on the latest version and still see an error, please send us the exact URL that failed. We add shorteners as we spot them.
This can happen when the mobile flow provides less information than the extension does. The extension scrapes the entire product page — title, seller, breadcrumbs, brand blurb, technical details. A mobile share (or barcode / photo lookup) starts from just an identifier and asks the backend to figure out the rest.
When mobile has fewer inputs, the score is honest about being less certain — lower confidence, more "Not specified" rows, or a straight "Unknown product" for obscure items. Cross-check by opening the same product on desktop.
Mobile-only scores are not cached — every mobile lookup runs fresh — precisely so a less-complete guess never poisons the shared cache used by extension users.
