# Privacy Policy for Email Super Helper

_Last updated: 2025-08-29_

Email Super Helper is a Chrome extension whose single purpose is to summarize the Gmail message or thread you are currently viewing. This policy explains what data the extension accesses, how it uses it, and your choices.

## 1. Overview
The extension runs entirely in your browser. There is **no developer-operated backend server**. All processing happens locally except for text you explicitly allow to be sent to the AI model endpoint you configure (Gemini or your Azure OpenAI deployment). We do not collect, store, sell, or share personal data.

## 2. Data the Extension Can Access
When (and only when) you activate the summarization feature on a Gmail tab, the extension can read:
- The visible content (DOM text) of the open email message or conversation thread.
- Basic structural metadata (who said what in the thread) as derived from the DOM.

The extension does **not** automatically scan other tabs, inbox lists, labels, or unrelated web pages.

## 3. Data You Provide
You may enter:
- Your Gemini API key OR Azure OpenAI endpoint + key.
These values are stored **locally** using Chrome extension storage. They are never transmitted anywhere except directly to the selected AI provider when making a summarization request.

## 4. Data Transmission to AI Providers
To produce a summary, the extension sends only the relevant extracted text of the currently viewed email/thread to the chosen model endpoint:
- Gemini: `https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/*`
- Azure OpenAI: `https://<your-subdomain>.openai.azure.com/*`

No other third parties receive this data. You are subject to the respective provider’s terms and privacy policies.

## 5. No Persistent Collection or Analytics
We do not:
- Collect telemetry or analytics.
- Use cookies, trackers, or fingerprinting.
- Store email content on remote servers.

## 6. Local Storage Details
Stored keys & preferences can be cleared by:
1. Opening the extension’s settings/popup and removing the key.
2. Or uninstalling the extension (Chrome removes its storage area).

## 7. Security Measures
- Keys are kept in Chrome’s extension storage area (not plain global window scope).
- No attempt is made to obfuscate the key; treat your browser profile as sensitive.
- We recommend using a least-privilege / regenerable API key.

## 8. Your Choices & Control
- Do not enter an API key if you don’t want to use the AI features.
- You can switch providers or revoke keys at any time.
- Uninstall the extension to immediately stop all functionality and clear stored data.

## 9. Children’s Privacy
The extension is not directed to children under 13 and should not be used by them knowingly.

## 10. Changes to This Policy
If the extension’s functionality or data practices change, this document will be updated and the version in the public repository will show the new “Last updated” date.

## 11. Contact
For questions or requests, open an issue in the GitHub repository or contact: <REPLACE_WITH_EMAIL>

**Summary:** We only access the Gmail content you choose to summarize and send it directly to the AI endpoint you configured. No other collection, sharing, or selling.
