Privacy Policy
1. Overview
Simple-GPT is a lightweight web assistant Chrome extension developed by [email protected]. This privacy policy explains how the extension handles your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
2. No Personal Data Collection
Simple-GPT does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information on our servers. All data is stored locally within your browser using Chrome's local storage APIs. This means your data remains on your device and is never sent to the developer or any third-party servers.
3. Local Data Storage
All extension data, including settings and preferences, is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. Please note that this data may be cleared if you manually clear your browser data or uninstall the extension. The developer assumes no responsibility for data loss resulting from browser cleanup, extension removal, or any other user action.
4. AI API Keys
Simple-GPT allows you to configure your own AI API keys (e.g., OpenAI API key) locally within the extension. These keys are stored only on your device and are never uploaded to any server, shared with the developer, or transmitted to third parties. You are solely responsible for the security and proper handling of your API keys. Any leakage or misuse of your API keys is your own responsibility.
5. Website Access
To provide its functionality, Simple-GPT may access the content of the current webpage you are viewing. This access is used solely to enable the extension's features (e.g., summarizing or analyzing page content). Webpage content is not uploaded to the developer's servers or any external location. All processing using your configured API key happens directly between your browser and the AI service provider you choose.
6. Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect basic, anonymized usage statistics (such as feature usage frequency and error reports). This data helps us understand how the extension is used and improve the user experience. Google Analytics data is anonymized and does not include any personally identifiable information, webpage content, API keys, or personal messages. We do not share analytics data with any other parties. Beyond Google Analytics, the extension does not upload any other information.
7. Updates
Simple-GPT may receive periodic updates to improve functionality, fix bugs, or add features. Updates may occasionally cause changes to how data is stored or processed. The developer is not responsible for any data loss that may occur as a result of updates. We recommend users maintain their own backups of any important data or settings.
8. Disclaimer
Simple-GPT is provided as a utility tool "as is" without warranties of any kind. It is a small helper tool designed to make web browsing more convenient. The developer is not liable for any damages, data loss, or issues arising from the use of this extension. By using Simple-GPT, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to this privacy policy and all associated disclaimers.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
