Privacy Policy for Selection Context Panel

Last Updated: July 27, 2026

1. Introduction

This policy describes how "Selection Context Panel" handles user data. The extension is designed to be privacy-focused and performs no background tracking.

2. Data Collection & Processing

The extension processes only the text fragment that you explicitly select with your mouse or keyboard.

• What is collected: The selected text string.
• Purpose: Solely to provide translation via Google Translate API.
• Storage: Selected text is NOT stored on any server. It is processed in memory and discarded immediately after translation.
• Third Parties: The selected text is sent to translate.googleapis.com to obtain a translation. This is necessary for the core functionality.

3. What We Do NOT Collect

We do NOT collect, store, or transmit:

• Browsing history or visited URLs
• Personal identification information (name, email, etc.)
• Financial or medical data
• Location data
• Keystrokes or mouse movements (except for the specific selection gesture)

4. Local Storage

The extension uses browser's local storage (chrome.storage.sync) strictly to save your preferences (e.g., chosen translation mode, enabled search engines). This data never leaves your browser except for optional synchronization across your own devices via the browser's built-in sync mechanism.
