# Privacy Policy for Gemini Watermark Remover Free

**Effective Date: May 15, 2026**

Your privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how **Gemini Watermark Remover Free** (referred to as "the Extension", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our Chrome Extension.

---

### 1. Information Collection and Use

**We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII).**

*   **No Personal Data**: We do not collect your name, email address, physical address, phone number, or any Google account information.

*   **No Content Data**: We do not collect or store your Gemini prompts, chat history, or any text interactions you have with AI services.

### 2. Image Processing and Data Security

Our extension is designed with a **Local-First** privacy architecture:

*   **Local Processing**: All image manipulation, pixel analysis, and watermark removal are performed **locally within your browser**. 

*   **No Image Uploads**: Your raw images are **never** uploaded, transmitted, or stored on our servers. The processing stays on your machine.

*   **API Interaction**: When you process an image, the Extension sends only the image dimensions (width and height) to our lightweight API to retrieve the necessary watermark mask. No actual image data is included in this request.

### 3. Usage Analytics

To help us improve the Extension and understand how users interact with it, we use **Google Analytics 4 (GA4)** via the Measurement Protocol.

*   **What we track**: We track basic usage events such as "upload_image", "process_success", and "click_download". 

*   **Anonymity**: All tracking data is anonymized. We do not use cookies for tracking and do not link usage data to your identity.

*   **Opt-out**: You can disable tracking by removing the extension or using standard browser privacy settings.

### 4. Permissions

The Extension requires the following permissions to function:

*   `sidePanel`: To provide the user interface for image processing.

*   `storage`: To maintain temporary session state and user preferences.

*   `host_permissions`: To communicate with our mask API and send anonymized analytics.

### 5. Third-Party Sharing

We **do not** sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to outside parties. Your data is yours, and we intend to keep it that way.

### 6. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this page.

### 7. Contact Us

If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us through our official support channels or GitHub repository.
