"AI Auto Reply for Facebook" ("we", "our", or "the Extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome Extension collects, uses, and protects your information.
By installing and using the Extension, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
What Data We Access
To provide its core functionality, the Extension requires permission to read and modify data on specific websites (business.facebook.com).
When you actively click the "Scan" or "AI Reply" buttons, the Extension reads the following on-screen data:
- The text of the specific Facebook Page comment you wish to reply to
- The text of the parent Facebook post (to provide contextual awareness to the AI)
- Visual content related to the comment (such as images, stickers, or emojis displayed on screen)
Important Limitations
- No Automatic Collection: This data is never collected automatically. It is only scanned when you manually initiate an action by clicking a button.
- No Server Storage: We do not store, log, or transmit this data to any servers we control.
- No Background Tracking: The Extension does not track your browsing history, monitor your activity, or collect analytics.
Data Stored Locally
The following information is stored locally in your browser only:
- Your OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google AI API key (encrypted in browser storage)
- Custom prompt templates and personas you create
- Extension settings and preferences (reply length, tone, language settings)
- Usage statistics (token counts, generation counts - stored locally only)
2. How We Use Your Information
The Extension complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Primary Use: AI Reply Generation
The data scanned from your active browser tab is:
- Packaged as a text prompt
- Sent directly from your browser to your chosen AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) using your personal API key
- Used solely for generating a suggested reply to the comment
- Discarded immediately after the reply is generated
What We Do NOT Do
We do NOT:
- Read your private messages or conversations
- Track what comments you are replying to
- Profile your customers or audience
- Collect analytics on your usage patterns
- Store your API responses on our servers
- Use your data for advertising purposes
- Train AI models on your data
3. How We Share Your Information
We Do Not Share Your Data
We do NOT share, sell, rent, or trade your personal information with any third parties for marketing purposes.
The Only External Data Transmission
The Extension operates on a "Bring Your Own Key" (BYOK) model:
- Direct API calls are made from your browser to your chosen AI provider (OpenAI LLC, Anthropic PBC, or Google LLC)
- This occurs only when you manually click "Generate Reply"
- We do not act as an intermediary or proxy
- We do not intercept, log, or store this data
- Your API key is transmitted directly to the AI provider using secure HTTPS
What We Have No Access To
We do NOT have access to:
- Your Facebook comments or posts
- Your AI API responses
- Your business data or customer interactions
- Your Meta Business Suite account information
4. Data Storage and Security
Local-Only Storage
We take a strict "Local-Only" approach to data storage:
- API Keys: Your AI provider API key is stored securely and exclusively in your browser's local memory (
chrome.storage.local or chrome.storage.sync). It is encrypted by Chrome's built-in storage encryption.
- Custom Prompts: Any custom personas or system prompts you configure are saved locally on your device.
- Settings: All preferences and configuration settings are stored in your browser only.
Security Measures
- All API communications use HTTPS encryption
- API keys never leave your browser except for direct transmission to the AI provider
- No data is transmitted to servers we control
- Chrome's built-in security features protect locally stored data
No External Servers
We do NOT operate any backend servers that collect, process, or store user data. The Extension runs entirely within your browser.
5. Data Retention
How Long We Keep Your Data
Since all data is stored locally in your browser:
- API keys and settings: Persist until you uninstall the extension or manually clear them
- Temporary data: Comment text and post context are processed in-memory only and discarded immediately after generating a reply
- No server retention: We have no servers, so no data is retained externally
How to Delete Your Data
You have complete control over data deletion:
- Manual deletion: Go to the Extension settings page and click "Clear All Data"
- Uninstall: Uninstalling the extension permanently deletes all locally stored data
- Browser clear: Clearing Chrome's extension data will erase all settings and API keys
6. Third-Party Services
AI Service Providers
To function, the Extension transmits data directly to one or more of the following third-party AI providers (based on your configuration):
By providing your API key for these services, you acknowledge that:
- Data transmitted through the Extension is subject to the AI provider's Privacy Policy
- We are not responsible for how these providers process or log API queries made using your personal credentials
- You should review their respective privacy policies to understand their data handling practices
No Other Third Parties
We do NOT integrate with, share data with, or transmit information to any other third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks.
