GeminiChatMap Privacy Policy

# Privacy Policy

Thank you for using Gemini-Chat-Map (hereinafter referred to as "this Extension"). We value your privacy and data security highly. This Privacy Policy aims to clearly explain how this Extension collects, uses, and protects your information.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before installing or using this Extension. By continuing to use this Extension, you acknowledge that you have fully understood and agreed to the entire content of this Privacy Policy.


# I. Information We Collect

This Extension strictly follows the "minimally necessary" principle, processing information only to the extent necessary to implement its functions.

# What We Do NOT Collect

  • No collection of specific user input: We do not collect specific content you input on web pages (such as passwords, bank card numbers, chat content, or other sensitive information), unless such content is the specific object required for the core function of this Extension and is explicitly stated in this policy.
  • No ad tracking or profiling: We do not use your data for advertising tracking or to build user profiles.

# Non-Personal Information We May Collect

  • Technical Information: Basic technical information such as the extension version, browser version, and operating system type.
  • Usage Data: Information on how features are used (e.g., the number of clicks on a specific button, whether a setting is enabled) to improve user experience.
  • Error Logs: Crash reports and error logs (which do not contain personally identifiable information) used for troubleshooting and fixing issues.

# Page Data Processing (If Applicable)

If this Extension needs to provide functions based on the content of the page you are currently browsing (e.g., page content analysis, translation, annotation, etc.), this Extension may temporarily read or process relevant page content locally.

  • Local Processing: By default, such data is processed in real-time within your local browser and is not uploaded to any server.
  • Remote Processing: If certain functions require sending data to a remote service (e.g., calling an AI API to process text), we will separately explain the purpose and scope in this policy, and data will only be sent when you trigger the relevant function.

# II. How We Use Your Information

We only use the collected information for the following legal and legitimate purposes:

  • To provide and maintain the Extension: Ensuring core functions operate normally.
  • To optimize and improve product experience: Improving the interface and interactions through statistical analysis of usage.
  • Error diagnosis and security: Locating crashes and compatibility issues, and preventing malicious abuse.
  • Legal Compliance: Cooperating with regulatory authorities for compliance reviews when required by law.

We do NOT sell your data to any third party, nor do we use it for purposes unrelated to this Extension.


# III. Data Storage and Security

# Local Storage

  • Data such as user preferences and extension configurations may be saved in the browser's local storage (e.g., chrome.storage or localStorage).
  • Data in local storage is used only for the functions of this Extension itself and cannot be directly accessed by other websites.

# Server-Side Storage (If Applicable)

If this Extension needs to send data to our servers or third-party services:

  • We only store the minimum data necessary to implement the functionality.
  • We adopt reasonable security measures (such as transmission encryption and access control) to protect data.
  • Data will be deleted or anonymized after the purpose is achieved or the necessary retention period expires.

# Security Measures

We employ industry-standard security measures to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of data.

However, please note that no method of network transmission or storage is 100% absolutely secure. We will make reasonable efforts to protect your data.


# IV. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

# Third-Party Services (If Applicable)

If this Extension integrates third-party services (e.g., analytics tools, cloud services, or AI APIs), these services may process data according to their own privacy policies.

  • We strive to select service providers with good reputations that comply with data protection regulations.
  • The manner and scope of data processing by third-party services are subject to their respective privacy policies. We recommend that you review relevant third-party privacy policies as well.

# Data Sharing Principles

We may share necessary information only under the following circumstances, provided they comply with legal regulations:

  • With your explicit consent;
  • To fulfill legal obligations, or in response to lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement agencies;
  • In the event of a business reorganization or merger, provided the recipient continues to be bound by this policy or adopts protection standards no lower than this policy.

We will not sell, rent, or use your data for advertising tracking purposes.


# V. Chrome Permissions Explanation

Regarding the Chrome permissions requested by this Extension, we strive to clearly explain the purpose of each permission within the product interface and description. For example (these are examples and may not all apply):

  • tabs: Used to read the URL of the current tab to decide whether to enable extension functions on a specific website.
  • activeTab: Used to access the currently active page only when you actively click the extension icon or trigger a related operation, to complete the corresponding function.
  • storage: Used to store extension configurations, user preferences, and other settings.
  • Other permissions: Used only to implement the corresponding stated functions and will not collect extra data unrelated to that function.

We will not abuse permissions or expand the scope of data use without informing you.


# VI. Children's Privacy

This Extension is not designed for minors or children (e.g., under 13 or 16 years of age, depending on the jurisdiction), nor do we knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe we have collected information from a child without guardian consent, please contact us via the method provided in the "Contact Us" section, and we will verify and delete the relevant data as soon as possible.

  • Right to Access: You have the right to know whether and to what extent we process data related to you.
  • Right to Correction: If data is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to request correction.
