# Privacy Policy for Tabbed — AI Prompt Optimization Assistant **Last Updated: May 23, 2026** Your privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy details how **Tabbed — AI Prompt Optimization Assistant** ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, protects, and discloses your information when you install and use our Chrome browser extension (the "Extension") and our Web Dashboard (the "Dashboard"). Tabbed is designed to provide high-quality real-time prompt enhancement. We comply fully with the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies, including the User Data Policy. --- ## 1. Data Collection Disclosures To operate the Extension and Dashboard, we collect the following categories of user data: ### A. Personally Identifiable Information * **What we collect:** Your email address when you register an account. * **Why we collect it:** To uniquely identify your account, sync your premium status, and securely coordinate settings across devices. ### B. Authentication Information * **What we collect:** Password credentials when logging in or registering. * **Why we collect it:** To authenticate your identity. All passwords are encrypted and hashed before being stored in our database. We never store raw, plain-text passwords. ### C. Personal Communications & Website Content * **What we collect:** The raw prompt text you enter inside supported AI text inputs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) **only** when you explicitly press the `Tab` key to trigger prompt optimization. * **Why we collect it:** We transmit the text of the prompt you request to optimize to our secure backend API to perform the AI prompt expansion. * **Note:** We do not read or record keystrokes outside active text inputs, nor do we capture any communications unless you explicitly press the `Tab` key to request prompt enhancement. --- ## 2. Data Usage & Purpose We certify that our data practices align with the single-purpose rule of the Chrome Web Store: 1. **To Fulfill Single Purpose:** Your raw prompt data is strictly processed to optimize your text into structured prompts and return them to your text box. 2. **Configuration Synchronization:** Your email and account data are used to save your writing tones (e.g., Professional, Casual, Creative) and preference thresholds so they sync seamlessly between your extension popup and web dashboard. 3. **Product Optimization:** Aggregate, anonymized usage statistics (such as count of prompt enhancements per day) may be monitored solely to maintain system health, assess rate-limiting, and improve system performance. --- ## 3. Data Protection and Security We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to keep your data safe: * **Transit Encryption:** All communication between the Chrome Extension, the Web Dashboard, and our backend service is encrypted using secure TLS/HTTPS protocols. * **Bcrypt Hashing:** Passwords are cryptographically salted and hashed using bcrypt before database storage. * **Secure Database Hosting:** Our databases are hosted in professional MongoDB Atlas clusters utilizing enterprise-grade firewalls, authorization gates, and encryption-at-rest. --- ## 4. Third-Party Sharing and Transfers We strictly protect your data against commercial exploitation: * **No Selling or Renting:** We do not sell, rent, trade, or transfer your personally identifiable information or communication content to third parties, data brokers, advertising networks, or analytics companies. * **Third-Party Service Providers:** Your prompt text is transmitted to our secure LLM provider API (such as the Google Gemini API or OpenAI API) solely to execute the prompt enhancement. This transmission is strictly confined to satisfying your explicit optimization request. * **Compliance with Policies:** We do not use or transfer user data for purposes unrelated to the Extension's single purpose, nor do we use it to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes. --- ## 5. Data Retention & Deletion We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide our prompt enhancement services. * **Prompt Processing:** Prompts sent for AI enhancement are processed instantly in memory. We do not store transcripts of your chats or historical prompt outputs on our database. * **Account Deletion:** You can delete your account at any time by contacting our support team. Upon account deletion, your email and authentication credentials will be permanently erased from our database. --- ## 6. Policy Updates We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to maintain compliance with the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies. We will indicate the date of the latest update at the top of this policy. --- ## 7. Contact Information If you have any questions, feedback, or data removal requests, please open an issue in our official GitHub repository or contact our support team. * **GitHub Repository:** [https://github.com/Aazib-at-hub/Tabbed](https://github.com/Aazib-at-hub/Tabbed) * **API Deployment Endpoint:** [https://tabbed-1lw6.onrender.com](https://tabbed-1lw6.onrender.com)
