Privacy Policy for Chat2Anki

Effective Date: 26th September 2024

Introduction

Welcome to Chat2Anki, a Chrome extension designed to help users create flashcards from their ChatGPT conversations. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and share information when you use our extension.

Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information from users:

  1. Personally Identifiable Information (PII): We collect your email address during the login process for authentication purposes. Your email address is also shared with Google as part of the authentication process. We do not collect any other personally identifiable information.
  2. Website Content: Chat2Anki collects the content of your conversations from the ChatGPT webpage in order to generate flashcards. This content is necessary to enable the functionality of the extension. Specifically, the conversation text is extracted and processed to generate flashcards that are useful for your learning.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect in the following ways:

  1. Authentication: Your email address is used solely for authentication purposes and to manage your account within the extension.
  2. Flashcard Creation: The content of your ChatGPT conversations is used to generate flashcards. In some cases, this data may be sent to a third-party API for processing to create the flashcards. However, the conversation data is only used for this specific purpose and is not stored permanently.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties, except in the following cases:

  1. Firebase: We use Firebase for user authentication. Firebase will have access to the email address used during login.
  2. Third-Party API for Flashcard Generation: If a third-party API is used for processing conversation data to generate flashcards, only the conversation data necessary for the flashcard creation will be shared. No personal identifying information (such as your email) will be shared with these APIs.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of your data and to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction of the data we collect.

Data Retention

We retain the data you provide as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose of the flashcard creation service. Once the flashcards have been generated, the conversation data is no longer retained or stored.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, update, or delete the personal data we collect from you. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact @algobaker on Twitter.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
