Privacy Policy for Link Summary

Effective Date: [Insert Date]

Introduction

Link Summary ("the Extension") is designed to enhance your browsing experience by allowing you to generate summaries of articles and webpage content through the OpenAI API. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we handle your data.

What Data Do We Collect?

The Extension does not collect, store, or share any personal data. However, it may interact with external services and APIs as part of its functionality.

• OpenAI API Key: The Extension uses a developer-provided OpenAI API key embedded in the code. This key is used only to authenticate requests to OpenAI’s servers and is not accessible to users or third parties.
• URL Processing: The Extension processes the URL of the webpage or link you want to summarize. These URLs are temporarily sent to the OpenAI API to generate summaries. The URLs are not stored or shared by the Extension.

How Is Your Data Used?

The Extension uses the data solely for its intended purpose:

• API Key: The developer-provided OpenAI API key is used to authenticate requests to OpenAI's servers. It is securely included within the Extension and not accessible to users or other parties.
• Webpage URLs: URLs are sent to OpenAI's API to generate content summaries. These URLs are not logged or stored by the Extension after the API call.

Do We Share Your Data?

We do not sell, share, or disclose your data to any third parties. However, data such as webpage URLs are sent to the OpenAI API for processing, as this is necessary for the functionality of the Extension. Please refer to OpenAI's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle your data.

How Is Your Data Secured?

• API Key Security: The developer-provided OpenAI API key is securely embedded in the Extension and not exposed to users or third parties.
• Secure API Requests: All requests to the OpenAI API are encrypted using HTTPS to ensure the security of your data in transit.

User Responsibility

To ensure the safe usage of the Extension:

• Use the Extension responsibly and avoid summarizing sensitive or private content.

Your Choices

Since the OpenAI API key is provided by the developer, there are no user-configurable settings for the API key. If you wish to stop using the Extension, you can uninstall it at any time, which removes all associated functionality.

Changes to This Privacy 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. When changes occur, the updated Privacy Policy will be made available via the Extension’s listing in the Chrome Web Store.
