Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how ChatGPT Q&A Collapser and Smart Outline ("we," "our," or "the Extension") collects, uses, and protects your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Data Stored Locally

The Extension stores the following information locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API:

• License Information: Your license key and instance ID (if you activate a premium license)
• User Preferences: Your settings for Q&A collapse/expand states, outline sidebar preferences, and UI customizations
• Usage Statistics: Count of collapse/expand operations for free tier limit enforcement

All of this data is stored locally on your device and remains under your control.

2.2 Data Transmitted to Our Servers

When you activate or validate a premium license, we transmit the following data to our API at chattidy.com:

• License Activation: License key and instance name (e.g., "Browser Extension")
• License Validation: License key and instance ID

This communication only occurs when you explicitly activate or validate a license. No other data is transmitted to our servers.

3. What We Do NOT Collect

We want to be crystal clear about what we do NOT collect:

• No ChatGPT Conversations: We never access, read, store, or transmit your ChatGPT conversation content
• No Browsing History: We don't track which websites you visit or how you use your browser
• No Personal Information: We don't collect names, email addresses, or other personal identifiers (unless you provide them separately when purchasing a license)
• No Cookies: The Extension does not use cookies or similar tracking technologies
• No Analytics: We don't use Google Analytics or any other analytics services within the Extension

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for the following purposes:

• License Management: To validate and activate premium licenses, ensuring only authorized users can access premium features
• Feature Functionality: To save your preferences and provide a seamless user experience across sessions
• Free Tier Limits: To enforce usage limits for free tier users

5. Data Storage and Security

• Local Storage: All preference and usage data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's secure storage API
• Encryption: Communications with our API use HTTPS encryption
• No Third-Party Access: We never share, sell, or rent your information to third parties
• Data Retention: Local data persists until you uninstall the Extension or clear your browser data

6. Third-Party Services

The Extension communicates exclusively with:

• chattidy.com: Our own API for license validation and activation
• chatgpt.com / chat.openai.com: The Extension operates on these sites but only reads DOM structure to provide collapse/expand functionality

We do not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: All data is stored locally on your device and accessible through Chrome's developer tools
• Deletion: Uninstall the Extension or clear Chrome's extension data to delete all locally stored information
• Opt-Out: You can use the free tier without ever activating a license, minimizing data transmission to our servers

8. Children's Privacy

The Extension is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Open Source Transparency

We believe in transparency. You can review the Extension's source code to verify our privacy practices. The Extension operates entirely within your browser and does not include any obfuscated or hidden code.
