1. Introduction

This privacy policy explains how the WAMA AI Sidebar browser extension handles user data. This extension is designed to assist with browser tab management and grouping, and integrates with AI services like Google Gemini for content summarization and interaction. The extension only runs when actively triggered by the user and does not continuously monitor or collect browsing data without user consent.

2. Data Collection

This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII).

• The extension reads the current webpage's title, URL, and user-selected text or full page content when the user activates extraction or summarization features.
• Data is processed locally on the user's device and is only sent to external services (such as Google Gemini) when the user explicitly initiates AI interactions.
• The extension does not use cookies, localStorage, or any other persistent storage for user data beyond extension settings.
• No browsing history, search queries, or other passive data is collected.

3. Data Usage

• All extracted webpage content is processed locally on the user's device.
• Data is used solely for generating summaries, markdown, or filling AI input fields as requested by the user.
• No data is uploaded to servers unless the user interacts with integrated AI services like Google Gemini.

4. Data Sharing

• This extension does not share any data with third parties.
• It does not integrate with analytics tools like Google Analytics or error reporting services.
• When using AI features, data is sent directly to the AI service provider (e.g., Google Gemini) through the user's browser session, not through the extension's backend.

5. Permissions

The extension requires the following permissions to function:

• sidePanel: To display the extension's side panel for tab management and AI interactions.
• contextMenus: To add right-click menu options for quick actions.
