Privacy Policy for ReTextify

Last updated: 10/11/2024

Introduction

Thank you for choosing ReTextify, a browser extension that transforms text content on web pages through customized AI-driven prompts. Your privacy and data security are important to us. This policy outlines what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

ReTextify does not collect, process, or store any personal data. The extension operates locally within your browser, and any text transformation occurs directly through your interaction with the OpenAI API.

User-provided OpenAI API Key

To use ReTextify, you must provide an OpenAI API key. This key enables the extension to access OpenAI's API on your behalf, performing transformations through your personal OpenAI account. ReTextify does not store or transmit this API key outside of your browser environment.

2. How We Use Your Information

Since ReTextify operates fully on your local device and does not collect or transmit data, we do not store, access, or analyze any of the text content you process through the extension. Any data transformed through the OpenAI API is transmitted directly between your browser and OpenAI's servers.

3. Permissions Requested by ReTextify

To perform its functionality, ReTextify requests the following permissions within your browser:

  • activeTab: Allows ReTextify to access the content of the currently active webpage for text transformation.
  • scripting: Enables modifications to webpage content, allowing ReTextify to rephrase and insert transformed text directly back into fields.
  • contextMenus: Adds options to your right-click menu for quick access to ReTextify features.
  • tabs: Allows ReTextify to manage interactions across tabs when in use.
  • clipboardRead: Allows ReTextify to read transformed text for re-insertion into the original text field.
  • Host Permission (https://api.openai.com): Required to communicate with OpenAI's API to perform text transformations securely via your personal API key.

4. Third-Party Services

OpenAI API

ReTextify uses the OpenAI API, which requires a personal API key that you provide. All interactions with OpenAI's API are conducted directly from your browser, and no data is transmitted to ReTextify or any other third party.

5. Security of Your Information

ReTextify is designed with privacy in mind. By operating locally, the extension ensures that your data remains secure within your device, and all requests to OpenAI's API are authenticated using your unique API key without passing through external servers. We recommend keeping your API key secure and never sharing it with others.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page, and you are encouraged to review this policy regularly to stay informed.
