Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Watchwing AI ("we", "our", or "us") handles information in relation to your use of our browser extension. We are committed to protecting your privacy and have designed our service with privacy as the core principle.

Our approach is simple: we minimize data collection, maximize transparency, and ensure you maintain control over your information.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

To be absolutely clear, we do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. This includes:

• Personal identification information (name, email, address, etc.)
• Browsing history or search history
• Location data or IP addresses
• Device information or unique identifiers
• Cookies or tracking technologies
• Payment information (the Extension is free)

We have no servers that store user data, no databases containing personal information, and no analytics tracking your usage.

3. How the Extension Works

When you use Watchwing AI, the following occurs:

• The Extension reads the visible content of your current tab when you activate it
• This content is sent via encrypted HTTPS connection to Google's Gemini API
• Google Gemini 2.5 Flash processes the request and returns a response
• The response is displayed within the Extension interface
• Voice input is processed locally via Web Speech API, and only transcribed text is sent
• All conversation data is stored temporarily in browser session storage

4. Voice Input and Microphone Usage

The Extension offers optional voice input functionality. When you choose to use voice input:

• Your browser will request microphone permission (you can decline)
• Voice audio is processed locally using your browser's Web Speech API
• Audio data never leaves your device and is not stored
• Only the transcribed text result is sent for AI processing
• You can disable microphone access at any time through browser settings

We do not have access to your microphone data, and voice processing occurs entirely within your browser's secure sandbox environment.

5. Session Storage

To maintain conversation continuity during your browsing session, the Extension uses your browser's session storage. This is temporary storage that:

• Exists only while your browser tab is open
• Is automatically cleared when you close the tab
• Is isolated to the specific tab where the Extension is active
• Cannot be accessed by other tabs or websites
• Is not transmitted to any servers

No persistent storage is used, and there are no long-term records of your conversations.

6. Third-Party Services

The Extension uses Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash API for AI processing. When content is sent to Google:

• We send only the minimum necessary content for processing
• No personal identifiers or metadata are included
• All transmissions use encrypted HTTPS connections
• We have no control over Google's data handling practices

We encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy to understand how they handle data received through their API.

7. Browser Permissions

The Extension requires certain browser permissions to function:

• Active Tab Access: To read visible content for context analysis
• Storage Permission: For temporary session storage
• Optional Microphone Access: For voice input functionality

These permissions are used exclusively for their stated purposes and are not used to collect or transmit personal data.

8. Data Security

Our security approach is based on data minimization:

• We don't collect data, so there's nothing to secure on our end
• All AI processing occurs through encrypted HTTPS connections
• Session data remains within your browser's secure environment
• No sensitive information is transmitted or stored

Since we have no user databases or servers storing personal information, there are no targets for data breaches.

9. Your Rights and Controls

You maintain complete control over your data:

• Close the browser tab to immediately delete all session data
• Disable the Extension or microphone access at any time
• Use browser incognito/private mode for additional privacy
• Clear browser session storage through browser settings

Since we don't collect personal data, traditional data subject rights (access, deletion, portability) do not apply as there is no data to access, delete, or port.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Extension does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we collect no personal information from any users, our service is inherently compliant with children's privacy regulations.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the effective date.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
