This Privacy Policy describes how Accessibility Toolkit ("we," "our," or "the Extension") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our Chrome browser extension.

By installing and using the Extension, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

• Email Address: Collected only when you purchase Pro features via Stripe payment checkout. This is collected by Stripe, not directly by us.
• Payment Information: All payment information (credit card details, billing address) is processed securely by Stripe. We never see or store your payment details.

2.2 Information Stored Locally

The following information is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API and never leaves your browser:

• Extension settings and preferences
• Theme choices (dark mode, high contrast, etc.)
• Font size and display preferences
• Pro feature unlock status
• Command history (stored locally only)
• User customizations and accessibility configurations

Important: This data is stored only on your device. We do not have access to it.

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

• Browsing history
• Websites you visit
• Personal identifiable information (beyond email for payments)
• Analytics or usage tracking data
• IP addresses or location data
• Any content from web pages you view

3. How We Use Your Information

3.1 Email Address

We use your email address only for:

• Processing your Pro feature payment via Stripe
• Sending payment confirmation receipts
• Providing customer support when you contact us
• Fraud prevention and payment verification

3.2 Local Storage Data

Data stored locally is used solely to:

• Maintain your preferences across sessions
• Enable accessibility features you've configured
• Preserve your Pro unlock status
• Provide you with a personalized experience

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

4.1 Payment Processing (Stripe)

We use Stripe for payment processing. When you purchase Pro features, Stripe collects:

• Email address
• Payment card information
• Billing address

Stripe's use of your information is governed by their privacy policy: https://stripe.com/privacy

We receive only a session ID and confirmation that payment was successful. We do not receive your payment card details.

4.2 Fact Checking API (Pro Users Only)

When you use the fact-checking feature (Pro only), your queries are sent to:

• Our Backend API at myextension.org (acts as a proxy)
• Google Fact Check Tools API for verification

Only the specific text you choose to fact-check is sent. We do not store or log these queries. Google's privacy policy applies: https://policies.google.com/privacy

4.3 No Other Third Parties

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your information with any other third parties for marketing or any other purposes.

5. Permissions Explained

The Extension requires certain Chrome permissions to function. Here's why we need each one:

We only use these permissions for their stated purposes. We do not use them to track you, collect data, or access information beyond what's necessary for the Extension's functionality.

6. Data Security

We implement security measures to protect your information:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted to our servers uses HTTPS encryption
• Secure Payment Processing: Stripe is PCI DSS compliant and uses industry-standard security
• No Data Storage: We do not store browsing data or page content on our servers
• Local Storage Only: Your settings remain on your device

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
