Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Elifive ("we", "our", or "us"), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Elifive Chrome extension ("Extension") or visit our website at elifive.xyz ("Website").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using our Extension or Website, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We may collect the following personal information that you voluntarily provide to us:

• Email Address: When you purchase our Extension or sign up for a subscription, you provide your email address for subscription verification and to receive important information about your account. This email address is processed by Stripe (our payment processor) and is not stored on our servers.
• Subscription Status: Your subscription status is used to verify your purchase and provide you with the appropriate level of service. This information is stored locally on your device, not on our servers.

Information Collected Automatically

Our Extension does not automatically collect your browsing history, track the websites you visit, or monitor your general online activity. We only process the specific text content that you explicitly select for summarization.

For usage quota management, our Extension keeps track of the number of summarizations you've requested. This usage data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers except for license validation purposes.

Local Storage

Important: We do not store any personally identifiable information about our customers on our servers or databases. All user-specific data, including your email address and usage quotas, is stored locally on your device. Payment-related information is handled and stored by Stripe, our payment processor. This approach is why our Extension requires storage permissions – to maintain your settings and subscription information locally on your machine.

Extension Permissions

Our Chrome extension requires certain permissions to function properly:

• Storage Permission: Used to store your subscription status and usage information locally on your device.
• ActiveTab Permission: Gives the extension temporary access to the current tab only when you interact with it.
• Scripting Permission: Allows the extension to process selected text and display the summary UI.
• Host Permissions: Enables the extension to work on any website you visit. This broad permission is essential for our core functionality, as you may want to summarize text from any website. However, the extension only activates when you explicitly select text and request a summary - it does not automatically scan websites or collect data without your direct action.

These permissions are the minimum required for our extension to provide its core text summarization functionality across the web.

Selected Text Content

When you use our Extension to summarize text:

• The text you select on a webpage is sent to our secure API, which uses Mistral AI's services to generate summaries.
• This text is processed in real-time and is not permanently stored.
• We do not use the content you submit for summarization to train AI models or for any purpose other than providing you with the requested summary.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide, maintain, and improve our Extension and services
• To process transactions and manage your account
• To verify your license status and enforce usage quotas based on your subscription type
• To send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages
• To respond to your comments, questions, and customer service requests
• To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes

Disclosure of Your Information

Since we do not store your personal information on our servers, we have limited data to disclose. However, in certain circumstances:

• Service Providers: We use Stripe for payment processing and Mistral AI for text summarization services. These service providers have access to the information necessary to perform their functions but are contractually obligated to protect your information and not use it for other purposes.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
• Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure any information processed through our services. Our no-storage approach minimizes security risks by design - we simply don't store your personal data on our servers.

The text you select for summarization is transmitted using secure HTTPS protocols and is processed in real-time without permanent storage. Your license information and usage data are stored locally on your device, not on our servers.

Payment processing is handled by Stripe, a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor, ensuring your financial information is handled according to the highest security standards.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

User Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

• The right to access the personal information we hold about you
• The right to request correction or deletion of your personal information
• The right to restrict or object to processing of your personal information
• The right to data portability

To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@elifive.xyz.

Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can delete the information.

Changes to This Privacy 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 at the bottom of this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
