Privacy Policy for Ghost Writer

1. Introduction

Ghost Writer ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome Extension collects, uses, and discloses information.

The core philosophy of Ghost Writer is "Local-First." We design our tools to operate primarily on your local device (client-side) to minimize data transmission and ensure the security of your social media accounts.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum amount of data necessary to provide the Ghost Writer "Context-Aware" functionality.

A. Content Data (Transient)

To generate relevant AI responses, the extension must temporarily "read" the text and visual content of the social media posts you are viewing on X (formerly Twitter).

• What we read: Post text, images within posts, and thread context.
• How it is processed: This data is anonymized and sent to our AI inference partners (e.g., OpenAI/Anthropic) solely to generate a draft response.
• Storage: We do not permanently store the content of the posts you view or the replies you generate on our servers.

B. User Preferences (Local)

We store your configuration settings locally within your browser's storage (chrome.storage.local). This includes:

• Selected "Personas" (e.g., Analyst, Degen).
• Target keywords and list configurations.
• "Bio-Rhythm" and sleep mode schedules.
• Usage counters (to enforce daily safety limits).

C. Authentication Information

We DO NOT collect or store your X/Twitter passwords.

The extension operates using your browser’s active session cookies. We do not have access to your login credentials.

D. Usage Data (Analytics)

We may collect anonymous, aggregated telemetry data to improve stability (e.g., error logs, crash reports, and feature usage counts). This data cannot be used to identify you personally.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following specific purposes ("Single Purpose"):

• To Provide the Service: Analyzing feed content to draft relevant, context-aware replies.
• To Maintain Safety: Monitoring local activity counters to ensure your account stays within the "safe usage" limits you define.
• To Improve Functionality: Analyzing anonymous error logs to fix bugs in the extension.

4. Third-Party Data Sharing

We never sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others.

AI Service Providers: To provide the "Smart Reply" feature, text data from the specific post you are analyzing is transmitted securely to third-party Large Language Models (LLMs).

• These providers are strictly prohibited from using this data to train their models.
• Data is transient and discarded after the reply is generated.

5. Data Security

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information.

• Encryption: All data transmission between the extension and AI APIs is secured via SSL/TLS encryption.
• Local Storage: Sensitive configuration data remains on your local device.

6. Your Choices & Rights

• Opt-Out: You can stop the collection of information by uninstalling the Ghost Writer extension.
• Data Deletion: Since usage preferences are stored locally, simply removing the extension from Chrome will delete all locally stored data associated with Ghost Writer.

7. Platform Compliance Disclaimer

Ghost Writer is a productivity tool designed to assist users in drafting content. Users are responsible for ensuring their use of the tool complies with the Terms of Service of any third-party platforms (e.g., X.com). Ghost Writer is not responsible for account suspensions or restrictions resulting from user activity.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the top of this page. We encourage users to frequently check this page for any changes.
