Micro-SaaS Idea Finder ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension that scans

committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data is collected,
how it is used, and how it is stored.

The Extension collects only the following:
a) OpenAI API Key

- Never transmitted to any server other than api.openai.com.
b) Reddit Page Content
- Post titles, body text, and comments are read from the Reddit tab
you are currently viewing, only when you click "Scan This Page".
- This content is sent directly to the OpenAI API for analysis.
- It is not stored on any external server.
c) Scan Results (Ideas)
- AI-generated ideas are saved locally via chrome.storage.local
so results persist between popup sessions.
