1. Information We Collect
The Extension collects the following types of information:
- Authentication Information: When you choose to sign in using Google, the Extension uses a secure third-party authentication service to handle the authentication process. This process involves obtaining your Google user ID, access token, and refresh token to manage your session and associate your data with your account. The Extension itself does not directly collect or store your Google login credentials.
- Notes Content: The content of the notes you create within the Extension, including the text and the date associated with the note.
- Settings: Your preferences configured within the Extension's settings, such as theme (light/dark), font, font size, and whether syncing is enabled.
- Usage Data: An entry count, which tracks the total number of entries across all your notes. This is used to manage the free entry limit.
- User Identifier: A unique identifier for your user account, which may be generated locally or obtained from your authentication session.
2. How We Collect Information
Information is collected through the following methods:
- User Input: You directly provide Notes content and configure settings within the Extension interface.
- Authentication Process: Information is obtained through the secure authentication flow provided by Google when you log in.
- Automated Collection: The entry count is automatically calculated based on your usage of the note-taking feature.
3. How We Use Information
The information collected is used for the following purposes:
- Providing Extension Functionality: To store, display, and manage your notes and settings within the Extension.
- User Authentication: To securely log you into the Extension using your chosen provider (currently Google) and maintain your session.
- Data Syncing: If you enable syncing, your notes and settings may be synchronized across devices where you use the Extension.
- Feature Management: To manage the free entry limit based on your entry count.
- Personalization: To apply your chosen settings, such as theme and font preferences.
4. How We Store Information
Your information is stored in the following ways:
- Local Browser Storage: Your notes, settings, and user identifier are primarily stored locally within your browser's storage. This data is stored under a key unique to your user ID (if logged in) or a generic key (if not logged in).
- Third-Party Database Services: Your authentication session information (access and refresh tokens) and certain usage data (such as entry count) may be stored in a secure third-party database service when you're logged in or when syncing is enabled.
5. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
- With Third-Party Service Providers: The Extension uses a secure third-party authentication and database service to manage user authentication and store certain data. This service provider has access to your authentication information and usage statistics (like entry count) to provide these functions. This third-party provider maintains its own security measures and privacy policy.
- For Legal Reasons: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
- In Case of Business Transfer: If the ownership of the Extension changes, your information may be transferred to the new owner, who will be bound by this privacy policy or a similar policy.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through the Extension. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.
7. Your Rights
You have the following rights regarding your data within the Extension:
- Accessing and Modifying Data: You can access and modify your notes and settings directly within the Extension interface.
- Deleting Data: You can delete individual notes within the Extension. Uninstalling the Extension will typically remove data stored in local browser storage. Data stored on our third-party services may require separate action or be subject to their data retention policies.
- Authentication Management: You can log out of your Google account within the Extension, which will clear your session information and switch to local storage (if not already there).
8. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as necessary to provide the Extension's functionality. Data stored in local browser storage is retained until you clear your browser data or uninstall the Extension. Data stored on third-party services is subject to their data retention policies and linked to your account there.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
