Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how our browser extension ("Extension") collects, uses, and protects your information. By installing and using the Extension, you agree to the practices outlined below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide the Extension's functionality:

• Account information — When you register or use certain features, we may collect information you provide, such as your username, email address, and other details you choose to submit through forms within the Extension.
• Device identifiers — Used to associate your browser with your personal device after you scan a QR code.

We do not collect browsing history or any data beyond what is described above.

2. Camera Permission

The Extension requires access to your device's camera for the following purpose:

• QR Code Scanning — The camera is used exclusively to scan QR codes displayed by our companion application. This allows you to bind and link your own personal device to the Extension. The camera feed is processed locally in real time; no video or image data is recorded, stored, or transmitted to any server.

The camera is activated only when you explicitly initiate a QR code scan. It is not accessed at any other time.

3. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to:

• Create and manage your account.
• Facilitate device binding via QR code scanning.
• Maintain the connection between your browser and your linked device.
• Provide customer support and respond to your inquiries.

4. Data Storage & Security

User-submitted information is stored securely on our servers. Device binding data is additionally cached locally on your browser using standard browser storage APIs. We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide our services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. Upon such request, we will remove your information from our servers within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law.

5. Third-Party Services

The Extension does not integrate with, share data with, or send data to any third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks.

6. Children's Privacy

The Extension is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
