Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 29, 2025

Your privacy is our priority. Whatbot is designed to keep your data local and secure. We believe your conversations are yours alone.

Data Collection

Whatbot operates entirely within your browser. We do not collect any personal information. Specifically, we do NOT use:

  • Analytics or tracking scripts
  • Cookies for tracking purposes
  • External servers for data storage
  • Remote account or user databases

Data Storage

All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's local storage API. This includes:

  • Your account credentials (stored securely)
  • API keys you provide
  • Generated summaries
  • Your preferences and settings

"This data remains on your device and is never sent to our servers because we don't have any servers."

Third-Party Services

When you use the summarization feature, your chat messages are sent to AI providers (such as OpenAI or Anthropic) for processing. This connection is made using YOUR personal API key.

"We never see or have access to this data. The communication happens directly between your browser and the AI provider."

Data Security

We take security seriously:

  • Passwords are hashed using SHA-256 encryption
  • All data remains local to your browser
  • You can delete all data by uninstalling the extension

Your Rights

You have complete control over your data:

  • Access: All your data is stored locally and accessible to you
  • Deletion: Uninstall the extension to remove all data
  • Export: You can copy your summaries at any time
