1. Introduction
Welcome to Condense ("we," "our," or "us"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Condense collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use our Chrome extension ("Extension"). Please read this policy carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
2. Information We Collect
Condense collects the following types of information:
- OpenAI API Key: When you use Condense, you are required to provide your OpenAI API key. This key is used solely to communicate with OpenAI's services to generate condensed summaries of the content you select.
- Extracted Content: The Extension extracts text content from the active webpage you are viewing. This content is sent to the OpenAI API to generate summaries.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- To Generate Summaries: Your OpenAI API key is used to authenticate requests to OpenAI's API, enabling us to process and condense the content extracted from webpages.
- To Improve User Experience: Storing your API key and preferences allows Condense to provide a personalized and seamless experience across your devices.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
Condense does not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our Extension, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
Important:
- Data Transmission: The content you select is transmitted securely to OpenAI's servers for processing. We do not store or log this content beyond what is necessary to generate the summary.
- API Key Security: Your OpenAI API key is stored securely using Chrome's storage.sync API. It is not shared with any third parties or external services beyond OpenAI's API.
5. Data Storage and Security
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information:
- Secure Storage: Your OpenAI API key and preferences are stored using Chrome's storage.sync API, which is designed to securely store data within the Chrome environment.
- Data Encryption: All data transmitted between Condense and OpenAI's servers is encrypted using HTTPS to protect it from unauthorized access during transit.
- No Remote Code Execution: Condense does not execute or load any remote code. All necessary scripts and resources are packaged within the Extension.
6. User Rights
You have the right to:
- Access and Update Your Information: You can view and update your OpenAI API key and preferences at any time through the Extension's settings.
- Delete Your Data: To remove your stored API key and preferences, you can clear the Extension's data via Chrome's extension settings.
