Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy as our service evolves. Users will be notified of significant changes.
How long we retain your data
Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
• Your email and subscription status are securely stored on our backend server and managed through Stripe, our trusted payment processor.
• Data sent to third-party services (e.g., OpenAI, GDELT, NewsAPI) is limited to the content needed for article analysis and is handled according to their privacy policies.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Your Choices
• You may opt out of Pro or Pro+ subscriptions at any time by managing your subscription through Stripe.
• You can disable or uninstall the extension from your browser at any time.
