Privacy Policy

1. What FluentEditor Does

FluentEditor is a browser extension and web application that uses AI to help you write better English. When you select text and use a FluentEditor feature, that text is sent to our AI processing service to generate suggestions. The service is designed for non-native English speakers who want to improve their grammar, tone, and clarity.

2. Data We Collect

• Account data: email address and hashed password when you sign up.
• Text you submit: text you select and send for AI processing. This is used solely to generate your AI suggestion and is not stored permanently after the response is returned.
• Usage metadata: which AI tool you used, character counts, and response latency — used for billing quotas and improving the service. No actual text content is retained in usage logs.
• Preferences: your selected English variant, explanation level, and language background — stored so your settings persist across sessions.

3. Data We Do Not Collect

• We do not read, store, or transmit your browsing history.
• We do not access pages you visit unless you actively select text and trigger a FluentEditor action.
• We do not sell your data to third parties.
• We do not use your text to train AI models.

4. How AI Processing Works

Text you submit is sent to our API server, which forwards it to a third-party AI model provider to generate a suggestion. The text is processed in real time and is not stored on the AI provider's systems after the response is generated, per their data processing terms. Our server does not permanently store the content of your text.

5. Browser Extension Permissions

The FluentEditor extension requests the following permissions:

• storage: to save your authentication token and preferences locally.
• activeTab / tabs: to read selected text from the current tab and to identify which website you are on (hostname only, not full page content).
• contextMenus: to add FluentEditor options to the right-click menu when text is selected.
• scripting: to inject the AI suggestion overlay into the page.
• host permissions (<all_urls>): required so the extension can work on any website where you select text.

6. Billing

Paid subscriptions are processed by Stripe. FluentEditor does not store your payment card details — all billing information is handled directly by Stripe under their privacy policy.

7. Data Retention

Account data is retained until you delete your account. Usage metadata (tool type, character counts, timestamps) is retained for up to 12 months for billing and service improvement purposes. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at the email below.

8. Children's Privacy

FluentEditor is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of significant changes by email or through the application.
