2. Information We CollectWe collect and process only the information necessary to provide and improve our services. The following data is collected: a. Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") We collect a verifiable email address for authentication purposes and occasional communications related to the Extension. A username is also collected; however, users are not required to use their real names or any information that personally identifies them. b. Authentication Information Users are required to create a password, which is used exclusively for authentication within our service. All passwords are stored as encrypted hashes using industry-standard cryptographic techniques. We do not store plaintext passwords, and they cannot be retrieved or reversed. c. Location Information We collect the country of origin of users solely to ensure compliance with Chrome Web Store policies and other applicable regional restrictions. We do not track precise location data (e.g., GPS coordinates). d. Website Content The Extension captures the URL of the active tab only when the user initiates the summarize functionality. This data is used to generate a summary and to provide a reference to the original content. No other browsing data is collected.


3. How We Use the Collected InformationWe use the information collected for the following purposes: To authenticate users and provide secure access to our services. To maintain compliance with regional policies and restrictions. To enable the core functionality of the Extension by processing URLs for summarization. To communicate necessary updates or important information related to the Extension.


4. Data Sharing and Disclosure We do not sell, rent, or trade user data to third parties. We may share data with legal authorities if required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes. In the event of a business transfer (e.g., merger, acquisition), collected data may be transferred to the successor entity in compliance with applicable privacy laws.


5. Data Retention User authentication data is retained as long as the user maintains an account with our service. URLs collected for summarization purposes are processed in real time and are not stored beyond the immediate session.


6. Data SecurityWe implement industry-standard security measures to protect collected data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption, access controls, and secure data transmission.


7. User Rights and Control Users may request the deletion of their account and associated data by contacting [Insert Contact Email]. Users can update or modify their authentication details through their account settings. 8. Changes to This Privacy PolicyWe reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy as necessary.
