Your privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how aiFerry ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our browser extension and services.
1. Information We Collect
aiFerry is designed to minimize data collection. We only process the information strictly necessary to provide our services:
- Authentication Data: We read your login session cookies from our web platform (
aiferry.ai) to verify your account status and update your usage quotas. - User Inputs: When you use our features (e.g. Chat sidebar, AI Translator, AI Writer), we process the prompts, text, or replies you input to send them to our language model endpoints.
- Page Content: When you invoke features such as page summarization or full-page translation, the text content of the active webpage is processed to perform the requested operation.
- Local Settings: Your local preferences (like UI language, translation target language, custom bot prompts, and glossary entries) are stored strictly locally on your browser using extension storage.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the processed data solely to run the extension features:
- To verify your authentication credentials and account quota.
- To execute AI tasks such as text completion, translation, web search, and summarization.
- We do not sell, rent, or distribute your data to any third-party advertisers or data brokers.
- We do not use your chats, documents, or inputs to train machine learning models.
3. Third-Party Services
To perform AI text generation, translation, and summaries, prompts are sent securely via HTTPS to our backend APIs, which communicate with advanced language models (e.g., Google Gemini). These partners are bound by strict privacy terms and are prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
Your local configuration and chat logs are stored inside your browser's local storage. You can delete your conversations or reset settings at any time from the extension's Settings tab.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
