Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the replAIer Chrome extension ("we", "our", "the extension") collects, uses, and protects information when you use it. By installing and using replAIer, you agree to the terms described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the minimum information needed to provide the service:

Account information — when you create an account: email address, first name, last name, and a hashed password. Passwords are never stored in plain text.
Usage metadata — the number of replies you generate, the platform (Gmail, LinkedIn, X), and timestamps, so we can enforce plan limits.
Writing samples (Learning Mode — Pro only) — when you explicitly enable Learning Mode, the replies you insert are stored as writing samples so the AI can learn your style. You can clear these samples at any time from the Options page.
Billing information — if you subscribe to Pro, payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details. We only store a Stripe customer/subscription reference.

2. Information We Do NOT Store

We do not permanently store the content of the emails, messages, or posts you ask the extension to reply to. Message text is sent to our server and forwarded to the AI model solely to generate your reply, then discarded.
We do not read or scrape your inbox, conversations, or social feeds in the background. Content is only read when you click "Generate Reply".
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers.

3. How We Use Information

To generate AI replies using a third-party large-language-model provider (currently OpenAI).
To authenticate your account and enforce plan limits (Free: 10/day, Pro: unlimited).
To personalize replies with your name and, if enabled, your writing style.
To process subscription payments via Stripe.

4. Third-Party Services

We share data with the following processors, strictly to operate the service:

OpenAI — message text and your custom notes are sent to OpenAI's API to generate the reply. OpenAI's API data policy applies.
Stripe — handles payment processing for Pro subscriptions.
Neon (Postgres) — database hosting for your account and usage data.
Railway — backend server hosting.

5. Data Retention

Account data is retained while your account is active.
Writing samples are capped at the 20 most recent per user and are deleted when you clear them or delete your account.
You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us (see below).

6. Security

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. All traffic to our server is over HTTPS. Authentication uses JSON Web Tokens stored locally in your browser's extension storage.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You can clear your writing samples from the extension's Options page, sign out at any time, or request full account deletion by contacting us.

8. Children

replAIer is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the extension or via email.

10. Contact

Questions or deletion requests: open an issue on our repository or email the account holder listed in the Chrome Web Store listing.
