Privacy Policy for CHEX

Last Updated: 16.10.2025

Welcome to CHEX, a Chrome extension designed to help users verify information quickly and accurately. Your privacy matters to us, and this policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it.

1. Information We Collect

CHEX only collects information necessary to provide and improve its fact-checking features. Depending on how you use the extension, this may include:

• User Input: When you highlight or submit text for fact-checking, that content may be processed by our servers or connected APIs to generate results.
• Diagnostic Information: Non-personal data such as browser version, extension version, and error reports may be collected to maintain performance and fix bugs.
• Usage Analytics (optional): Anonymous usage metrics may be collected to understand which features are most helpful and to improve user experience.

We do not collect personal information such as your name, email, or browsing history outside of CHEX-related activity.

2. How We Use Your Information

The data we collect is used to:

• Deliver accurate fact-checking results.
• Improve extension performance and reliability.
• Detect misuse or unusual activity that could harm the service.

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with any third party for advertising or marketing.

3. Data Retention

Any data related to fact-checking queries is kept only for as long as needed to complete the request. In most cases, it is deleted immediately after processing. Diagnostic logs may be stored longer for troubleshooting or service improvement, but they contain no identifiable information.
