The Short Version

1. Introduction
TapTone ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our browser extension and website. By using TapTone, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We believe in data minimization. We only collect what is strictly necessary to provide our service.
- •User-Selected Text: When you trigger TapTone (by selecting text and clicking our widget), we temporarily process that specific text snippet to provide translation or tone refinement services.
- •Usage Data: We may collect anonymous telemetry data (e.g., number of translations, error rates) to improve reliability. This data is aggregated and does not contain message content.
- •Account Information: If you purchase a license, we collect your email address to deliver the key. We do not access, collect, or store your credit card or financial details.
3. How We Use Your Information
The primary use of your data is to provide the core functionality of the extension:
- •To translate and refine the text you explicitly select.
- •To maintain and improve the performance of our services.
- •To communicate with you regarding your account or support inquiries.
4. Data Storage and Security
Text Content: We do not permanently store the content of the messages you process through TapTone. Once the translation or refinement is returned to your browser, the data is discarded from our processing servers.
BYOK Keys: If you use the "Bring Your Own Key" feature, your API keys are encrypted and stored locally in your browser's storage. They are never sent to our servers, only directly to your chosen AI provider.
5. Third-Party Processors
To provide AI-powered translation and tone polishing, we transmit the text you select to third-party Large Language Model (LLM) providers, specifically OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Groq. These providers process the text solely to generate the response. We do not store your input text or the AI-generated output on our servers.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
