Privacy Policy

Overview

QuickAsk ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome Extension and services handle your data. Our core principle is simple: We do not collect, store, or share your personal data.

Data Collection & Usage

1. API Keys

Your OpenAI API key is stored locally on your device using Chrome's Sync Storage API. It is never sent to our servers. It is only used to authenticate requests directly from your browser to OpenAI's API.

2. Text Selection

When you use QuickAsk to query selected text, that text is sent directly to OpenAI's API to generate a response. We do not see, log, or store this text.

3. Chat History

Your chat history is stored locally in your browser's memory while the extension is open. We do not persist your chat history on any servers.

Permissions

We request the minimum permissions necessary for QuickAsk to function:

• ActiveTab: To open the side panel and interact with the text you selected on the current page.
• SidePanel: To display the chat interface.
• Storage: To save your settings (API key, system prompt) locally.
• Host Permissions: To communicate with OpenAI's API (api.openai.com).

Third-Party Services

QuickAsk uses OpenAI's API to generate responses. Please refer to OpenAI's Privacy Policy for information on how they handle API data.
