Privacy Policy for SmartXSite

At SmartXSite, your privacy and the security of your data are our top priority. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your data while you use our Chrome extension.

1. Data Collection and Usage

SmartXSite is designed to respect your privacy by offering two AI processing options:

2. Gemini API and Data Usage

If you choose to use the Gemini API, your content may be sent to Google's servers for processing. According to Gemini’s terms, data from users on the free plan may be used to improve Google’s services, unless disabled in their settings. For full control over your privacy, we recommend using the on-device AI option whenever possible.

3. No Data Transmission (On-Device Mode Only)

When using the on-device AI option, we do not collect, transmit, or store any data from your PDF files, summaries, or interactions with the extension. All data processing, including reading PDFs, generating summaries, and creating multiple-choice questions, happens solely on your local device.

4. Local Processing

All AI-powered features using WebLLM are executed locally on your device. This ensures that no data is ever transferred over the internet, and your content remains fully private.

5. Privacy Protection

We do not collect or retain any user data, regardless of the selected AI mode. For Gemini users, privacy policies are governed by Gemini's terms.

6. Security

We take reasonable precautions to ensure that SmartXSite functions in a secure manner. Since no personal data is stored or shared locally by us, the risk of exposure is minimal.

7. Limitation of Liability

By using SmartXSite, you acknowledge that the extension is provided as-is, and we make no warranties regarding its functionality or any results obtained. We are not responsible for any issues, losses, or damages that may arise from using the extension, including but not limited to data loss, system malfunctions, or any other unexpected consequences.

8. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected within the extension itself and on this page. We encourage you to periodically review this policy to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.

9. Contact Information

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or the use of your data, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
