Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Textpilot. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Chrome extension and web services. Textpilot is an AI-powered text enhancement tool that helps you write better content across the web.

By using Textpilot, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and profile picture if you sign in with Google OAuth.

License Information: We store information about your subscription plan (Lifetime or Subscription), license keys, and usage tracking for billing purposes.

Usage Data: We track the number of AI requests you make, tokens consumed, and actions performed (such as fix grammar, expand, translate) to manage your plan limits and improve our service.

OpenAI API Keys: If you choose to use your own OpenAI API key with the Lifetime plan, we store it encrypted in our database. This key is never shared with third parties and is only used to process your AI requests.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Provide and maintain our service
  • Process your text transformation requests through AI models
  • Manage your subscription and billing
  • Send you important updates about your account and service changes
  • Improve our service and develop new features
  • Ensure compliance with our Terms of Service

4. Data Storage and Security

Encryption: Your OpenAI API keys are encrypted using industry-standard encryption methods before being stored in our database.

Data Processing: Text you process through Textpilot is sent to OpenAI's API for transformation. We do not store the content of your texts. OpenAI processes the text according to their own privacy policy.

Database Security: We use Prisma Postgres to securely store your account information, license details, and encrypted API keys.

Browser Extension: The Chrome extension stores your license key locally in your browser's storage for authentication purposes. This key can be revoked at any time from your dashboard.

5. Third-Party Services

Textpilot uses the following third-party services:

  • OpenAI: We use OpenAI's API to process your text transformations. Your text is sent to OpenAI for processing. Please review OpenAI's privacy policy for more information.
  • Google OAuth: If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your basic profile information (name, email, profile picture) from Google.
  • Stripe: Payment processing for subscriptions is handled by Stripe. We do not store your credit card information.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information and license data as long as your account is active. If you wish to delete your account, please contact us and we will remove your personal information from our systems within 30 days.

API request logs and usage statistics are retained for up to 90 days for billing and service improvement purposes.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data stored in our systems
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data

The extension only accesses text when you explicitly select it and click on the Textpilot menu. We do not monitor or collect your browsing activity.
