We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect when you use the “AppLight – AI Browser Assistant” extension, how we use it and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

We follow a data‑minimization principle and collect only what is necessary to provide our services.

• User‑entered information. When you create an autofill profile, you may enter your name, email address, login, surname and address. These details are stored locally in your browser’s IndexedDB and used solely to autofill forms.
  
  

• Highlighted text and notes. When you save a note, the extension stores the selected text and the time of creation. Notes are not shared with third parties and remain on your device.
  
  

• Page content for summarization and explanation. To generate summaries or explanations, the extension extracts the text from the current page. We send this text over an encrypted connection to our processing service and AI model to produce the result. We do not store the text after the response is generated.
  
  

• Settings. We store your chosen interface language, theme (light or dark) and text‑to‑speech settings so the extension functions properly.
  
  

• Technical data. We may collect anonymized usage information about which features you use, extension version and browser type to improve the extension. We do not store IP addresses or browsing history.
  
  

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data to:

• Generate summaries and explanations based on the page text.
  
  

• Save and display your notes.
  
  

• Autofill website forms with your saved profile information.
  
  

• Maintain the extension’s interface and your preferences.
  
  

• Analyze anonymized statistics to enhance functionality.
  
  

We do not use the data for advertising, nor do we sell or share it for marketing purposes.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your notes, autofill profiles and settings are stored locally in your browser. Only you have access to them. Transmissions of text for summarization or explanation and any other communications occur over encrypted channels (HTTPS). We implement technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access and avoid collecting more than is necessary.

4. Disclosure of Information

We do not share personal data with third parties except:

• When necessary to fulfill your request (e.g., sending page text to the AI service to generate a summary).
  
  

• When required by law (e.g., in response to legal requests).
  
  

• For error analysis and statistics, which are processed in anonymized form.
  
  

Any third‑party service providers we work with are required to adhere to similar privacy standards.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have full control over your data:

• View, edit and delete. You can view and delete notes and profiles from within the extension interface. Deleting a note or profile removes it from local storage.
  
  

• Consent. You can disable the summarization/explanation function or uninstall the extension at any time. Uninstalling the extension deletes all locally stored data.
  
  

• Requests. To request deletion of any data that might have been temporarily stored on our servers, please contact us via email.
  
  

6. Children’s Privacy

This extension is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

7. International Data Transfers

Our servers for generating summaries may be located outside your country. Your data may be processed in other jurisdictions subject to their data protection laws. We ensure that all providers adhere to appropriate safeguards.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in functionality or legal requirements. The updated version will be available through the Chrome Web Store listing and within the extension interface. Significant changes will be highlighted separately. By continuing to use the extension after changes take effect, you agree to the updated policy.
