Privacy Policy for Ask Ai Chat - GPT Assistant

Effective Date: 12/03/2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Ask Ai Chat - GPT Assistant (“the Extension”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our paid Chrome extension. By using the Extension, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information Collection

• User-Selected Text: When you highlight any text on a webpage and click the icon to open the chat, the selected text is temporarily processed by the GPT-4 API to generate a response. We do not store or log this content beyond the immediate processing required to provide you with a reply.
• Usage Data: We may collect anonymous technical data (such as performance logs and error reports) to improve the functionality and reliability of the Extension. This data does not include personally identifiable information.
• Payment Information: As a paid service, any transaction details are handled securely by our payment processor. We do not directly store payment information.

2. Use of Information

• Core Functionality: The primary purpose of collecting the selected text is to enable GPT-4 to provide instant explanations, summaries, translations, or answers based on that text.
• Improvement of Services: Anonymous usage data helps us monitor, analyze, and enhance the performance of the Extension.
• Communication: With your consent, we may send you notifications or updates related to your subscription or important changes to the service. No promotional messages are sent without explicit permission.

3. Disclosure of Information

• Third-Party Services: The Extension utilizes the GPT-4 API and may share text data with the API provider solely for generating responses. This data exchange is secured via HTTPS, and the data is not stored by us.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to comply with legal obligations or to protect our rights, as mandated by applicable laws.
• No Sale or Rental: We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

4. Data Security

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers (or third-party services like the GPT-4 API) is encrypted using HTTPS.
• Storage: As we do not retain personal data or the content of your queries, there is minimal risk related to data storage. Anonymous usage data is stored securely and used solely for service improvement.
• Access Control: Only authorized personnel have access to the collected technical data, and all efforts are made to maintain its confidentiality.

5. User Rights and Choices

• Control Over Data: Since the Extension does not store personal or sensitive data from your interactions, most data is processed transiently. If you have concerns or questions, you can contact us using the details below.
• Opt-Out: You can choose not to provide selected text for processing by simply not using the Extension. For anonymous usage data, if you wish to opt-out, please contact us.
• Updates and Corrections: If any personal data were to be stored inadvertently, you have the right to request access, correction, or deletion by contacting us directly.

6. Compliance and Prominent Disclosure

• Google Chrome Web Store Requirements: We comply with all applicable Google policies regarding data handling and privacy. Our Privacy Policy is available in the Chrome Web Store Developer Dashboard and within the Extension's interface.
• Explicit Consent: By using the Extension, you confirm that you understand and agree to the collection and use of data as described in this policy.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When significant changes are made, we will notify users through the Extension and update the effective date at the top of this document.
