  • We do not collect or store your social media posts or comments
  • We do not track your social media activity or behavior
  • We do not collect personal identification information
  • We do not store your browsing history
  • We do not collect your generated comments for training purposes

Information We May Collect:

🛡️ How We Protect Your Data

🏠 Local Processing

All comment analysis and generation happens through secure API calls to OpenAI. No content is stored on our servers.

🔐 Secure API Communication

Your OpenAI API key is stored securely in Chrome's encrypted sync storage and never transmitted to our servers.

⚙️ Local Storage Only

Your settings, preferences, and usage statistics are stored only on your device using Chrome's secure storage APIs.

🤖 AI and Third-Party Services

ScrollSay uses OpenAI's API to generate comments. When you use the extension:

  • Post content is sent to OpenAI for comment generation
  • Your API key authenticates requests directly with OpenAI
  • OpenAI's privacy policy applies to this data processing
  • Generated comments are returned to your browser and not stored
  • No personal information is included in API requests

Important: Review OpenAI's privacy policy at openai.com/privacy to understand how they handle data.

📈 Analytics and Usage Data

To improve ScrollSay, we may collect anonymous usage statistics such as:

  • Number of comments generated per platform
  • Most popular tone selections
  • Extension performance metrics
  • Error rates and crash reports
  • Feature usage frequency

Important: This data is completely anonymous and cannot be linked back to you. You can opt out of analytics collection in the extension settings.

🔄 Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. The only data sharing occurs when:

  • You send post content to OpenAI for comment generation (using your API key)
  • Anonymous usage statistics for product improvement (opt-in only)
  • Required by law (though we collect minimal data)

🔧 Your Rights and Controls

  • Data Control: All your data is stored locally and under your control
  • API Key Security: Your OpenAI API key is encrypted and only accessible to you
  • Analytics Opt-out: Disable usage analytics in extension settings

  • Minimal permissions requested from Chrome
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • Open-source components for transparency
