Privacy Policy for PrivacyPal

Effective Date: October 18 2024

Overview

At PrivacyPal, your privacy is of utmost importance to us. PrivacyPal is a Chrome extension built by Business Daddy, a small 2N operation based in Australia and Thailand. We are committed to transparency and user privacy, ensuring that no personally identifiable information (PII) is collected, stored, or shared by our extension. The following Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding data usage, tracking, and your rights as a user of our extension.

Information We Collect

PrivacyPal does not collect or store any personally identifiable information (PII). Specifically:

• We do not store API keys entered by users.
• We do not track your usage or interactions with the extension.
• We do not collect any personal information, such as names, emails, or browsing history.

The only tracking that occurs is managed by Google Analytics within the Chrome Web Store, which tracks:

• Extension installs
• Uninstalls
• User reviews
• Basic usage statistics for the Chrome Web Store

This tracking is performed by Google, not by PrivacyPal or Business Daddy. No data is shared with us other than the anonymized install and review statistics provided by the Chrome Web Store.

API Key Usage

PrivacyPal utilizes OpenAI’s API to analyze website terms and conditions. Any API key you provide is stored locally on your device through Chrome’s `chrome.storage.local` and is never transmitted to us or stored on any of our servers. The API key is solely used to authenticate your requests with OpenAI.

No Data Collection Policy

We are committed to never collecting or storing any data from users. PrivacyPal is designed to help you analyze terms and conditions without the need to track or collect personal data. We have no interest or plans to change this policy.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We do not foresee making any changes to this Privacy Policy. However, in the event that changes become necessary, we will notify users by posting an update on our Privacy Policy page. Any changes will be clearly highlighted to ensure transparency.

Your Rights

As a user of PrivacyPal, you have the right to:

• Uninstall the extension at any time. You can do this directly through your Chrome browser settings without any obligation to notify us.
• Access and control your data. Since we do not store any personal data, there is no data to request access to or delete.
