1. Introduction

Welcome to Storybook Video Capture Chrome Extension. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information. This privacy policy explains what information our extension accesses, how it's used, and your rights regarding your data.

2. Information We Access

Our Chrome extension may access the following information:

  • Screen content from Google Gemini storybook pages (only when you initiate recording)
  • Your Google account email (only if you choose to sign in for enhanced features)
  • Basic extension usage statistics (such as recording start/stop actions)
  • Browser storage for saving your preferences and settings

Important: Video recordings are processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded to our servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

The limited information we access is used to:

  • Enable the recording functionality when you choose to capture a storybook
  • Remember your preferences and settings within the extension
  • Provide optional sign-in features for enhanced functionality
  • Improve the extension's performance and user experience
  • Troubleshoot issues and provide customer support when requested

4. Data Storage and Security

Local Storage: All video recordings are stored locally on your device. We do not have access to your recorded videos unless you explicitly choose to share them with us for support purposes.

Extension Settings: Your preferences are stored in Chrome's secure storage system and synced with your Chrome profile if you have sync enabled.

Account Information: If you sign in with Google, authentication is handled through Google's secure OAuth system. We only store your email address and basic profile information needed for the extension to function.

5. Third-Party Services

Our extension integrates with the following third-party services:

  • Google Gemini: The extension only works on Gemini storybook pages
  • Google OAuth: Optional sign-in for enhanced features
  • Chrome Web Store: For extension distribution and updates

These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

6. Children's Privacy

Our extension is designed to be family-friendly and safe for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The extension's primary purpose is to help families capture and preserve storybook moments. Parents should supervise children's use of the extension.

7. Your Rights

You have complete control over your data:

  • Remove the extension at any time from Chrome to delete all local data
  • Clear your recordings and settings through the extension options
  • Sign out of your Google account within the extension
  • Export or delete your recorded videos at any time
  • Disable specific permissions through Chrome's extension settings

8. Chrome Permissions

Our extension requires certain permissions to function:

  • Storage: To save your preferences and settings
  • Downloads: To save recorded videos to your computer

You can review and modify these permissions at any time in Chrome's extension settings.
