Privacy Policy for Article Highlighter Chrome Extension

Overview

This privacy policy explains how the Article Highlighter Chrome Extension handles your information when you use our service to create AI-generated highlights for articles you're reading.

Information We Collect

• We Do Not Collect Personal Data: The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information about you.
• API Key Storage: Your AI API key is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage and remains on your device. We never access or transmit this key to our servers.
• Article Content: When generating highlights, the extension temporarily processes the content of the article you're viewing. This content is only sent directly to the AI service using your own API key and is not stored, logged, or monitored by us.

Data Storage

• Local Storage Only: All configuration data, including your API key and any user preferences, is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage.
• No Remote Storage: We do not maintain any servers or databases to store your information or activity data.

Third-Party Services

• AI Processing: The extension utilizes the AI service that corresponds to your provided API key. Please refer to that service's privacy policy for information about how they handle data processing.
• No Analytics or Tracking: The extension does not integrate with any analytics, tracking, or advertising services.

Data Security

• API Key Security: Your API key is stored in your browser's local storage, which is isolated to the extension. We recommend using appropriate API key permissions that limit the scope of what can be done with your key.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the version number of the extension and providing release notes.
