Privacy Policy

Last updated: [March 26 2026]

This Privacy Policy describes how benchen (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information in connection with our software products, including browser extensions, mobile applications, websites, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). We are committed to minimizing data collection and handling information responsibly.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all current and future Services we provide unless a specific product has its own separate privacy policy. By using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We aim to collect as little information as reasonably necessary.

Depending on the Service, we may process the following categories of information:

a. Information stored locally on your device

Some Services may store preferences, settings, configuration choices, interface state, or similar data locally on your device or browser so the Service can function properly and remember your choices.

b. Content you choose to access through the Service

If a Service interacts with content you view or provide, such as page text, form input, or app content, that information is processed only to deliver the requested functionality of the Service.

c. Technical and usage information

We may receive limited technical information necessary for operation, security, compatibility, or debugging, such as app version, browser type, device type, operating system, anonymous error logs, or general performance data, if such collection is enabled in a particular Service.

d. Contact information you voluntarily provide

If you contact us for support, we may receive your name, email address, and any information you include in your message.

3. How We Use Information

We use information only for legitimate product-related purposes, including to:

• provide, operate, and maintain the Services;
  
  

• save your settings and preferences;
  
  

• enable core features requested by you;
  
  

• improve reliability, usability, performance, and compatibility;
  
  

• diagnose bugs, prevent abuse, and maintain security;
  
  

• respond to support requests and other communications;
  
  

• comply with applicable legal obligations.
  
  

We do not use your information for unrelated profiling or advertising purposes.

4. Data Sharing and Sale

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not share personal information with third parties for their independent marketing or advertising purposes.

We may disclose information only in limited circumstances, such as:

• when required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request;
  
  

• when necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or integrity of our users, Services, or the public;
  
  

• in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal safeguards.
  
  

5. Data Storage and Retention

Where possible, information is stored locally on your device rather than transmitted to us. We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal requirements.

If you uninstall an app or extension, local data stored by that product may be removed automatically by the platform, though this can vary by browser, device, or operating system.

6. Third-Party Services and Platforms

Our Services may operate on or interact with third-party platforms, websites, or software environments, such as browser marketplaces, mobile operating systems, hosting providers, analytics providers, or external websites you choose to access. Those third parties may collect information under their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services we do not control.

7. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under the age required by applicable law to consent to data processing in their jurisdiction, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our Services, contact us so we can review and address the issue.

9. International Users

If you use our Services from outside the country in which we operate, you understand that information may be processed in jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than your own. Where required, we will take appropriate steps to protect information in accordance with applicable law.

10. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing. You may also be able to uninstall the Service, clear local storage, revoke permissions, or stop use of the Service at any time.

To make a privacy-related request, contact us using the information below.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, legal requirements, or business practices. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the Services after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective constitutes acknowledgement of the revised policy.

Supplemental Product Statement

Unless a specific product states otherwise, our products are designed to minimize data collection.
