AI Summary: Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 3, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how your information is collected, used, and handled when you use our Chrome extension: AI Summary. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
1. Information We Collect and How We Use It
1.1 Text for Summarization
When you select text and use the AI Summary extension to generate a summary, the selected text is transmitted to our servers. Our AI model processes this text to create a concise summary, which is then returned to your extension. This is the core function of our service.
1.2 Request Metadata
For each summarization request, we collect general metadata. This includes the size of the text being summarized and the time of the request. We analyze this data to monitor the performance of our extension, diagnose technical issues, and make improvements to the user experience. Importantly, this data cannot be used to identify you personally.
1.3 Client-Side Caching
To enhance the performance of the AI Summary extension and reduce the load on our servers, we may temporarily store summaries within your browser's local storage. This cached data remains on your device and is not transmitted to or accessible by our servers. You have control over this cached data and can clear it at any time through your browser settings.
2. Data Storage and Sharing
We want to be absolutely clear: We do not store the text you submit for summarization or the generated summaries on our servers. Once the summary is created and sent back to your extension, the associated data is immediately deleted from our server's memory. We do not, under any circumstances, sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your information with any third parties for their marketing purposes or for any reason unrelated to providing and improving the AI Summary service.
3. Data Security
We are committed to protecting your data. We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption of data in transit between your browser and our servers, to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, please be aware that no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.
4. Your Rights
Since we do not store your submitted text or summaries, there is no data for you to access or modify on our servers. You can manage cached summaries stored by the extension in your browser through your browser settings. You can stop using the extension at any time, which will prevent any further data from being sent to our servers.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or operational reasons. We will indicate any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.
