PRIVACY POLICY

X Reply AI ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome extension collects, uses, and protects your information.

- Comment style preferences (friendly, professional, casual, analytical)

- Comment language preferences

- AI model selection

- Auto-comment and auto-generate settings

1.2 Post Content

- When you use the extension on X (Twitter), it reads the text of the post you are viewing to generate relevant comments. This content is only used temporarily to create the API request and is not stored permanently.

1.3 We DO NOT Collect

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

2.1 API Key

Your Perplexity AI API key is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's sync storage. It is only used to authenticate requests to the Perplexity AI API when generating comments. We do not access, view, or transmit your API key to any third parties except Perplexity AI when making API requests.

2.2 Post Content

The text of posts you view on X (Twitter) is read solely for the purpose of generating contextually relevant comments. This content is sent directly from your browser to Perplexity AI's API and is not stored by our extension after the comment is generated.

2.3 Settings

Your preferences (comment style, language, model selection) are stored locally in your browser and synchronized across your devices via Chrome's sync storage. These settings are only used to customize your comment generation experience and are not shared with third parties.

3. DATA STORAGE

All user data is stored locally in your browser:

- API key: Stored in Chrome sync storage (encrypted by Chrome)

- Settings: Stored in Chrome sync storage

- No data is stored on our servers

- No data is transmitted to our servers

4. DATA SHARING

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. The only data sharing occurs when:

- You generate a comment: The post text and generation request are sent directly from your browser to Perplexity AI's API. This is necessary for the extension's core functionality. Please review Perplexity AI's privacy policy to understand how they handle this data.

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

5.1 Perplexity AI

Our extension uses Perplexity AI's API to generate comments. When you use the extension:

- Post content is sent to Perplexity AI's servers

- Your API key is used to authenticate the request

- Perplexity AI processes the request and returns generated comments

Perplexity AI has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data. We encourage you to review their privacy policy at https://www.perplexity.ai/terms

5.2 X (Twitter)

Our extension interacts with X.com and Twitter.com to read post content and insert generated comments. This interaction occurs entirely in your browser and does not involve data transmission to our servers.

6. DATA SECURITY

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:

- All data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's secure storage mechanisms

- API keys are encrypted by Chrome's sync storage

- No data is transmitted to our servers (we don't have servers)

- All API requests are made directly from your browser using HTTPS

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. USER RIGHTS

You have the right to:

- Access your stored data: You can view your settings and API key through the extension's popup

- Delete your data: You can remove the extension at any time, which will delete all locally stored data

- Modify your data: You can update your API key and settings at any time through the extension's interface
