Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 27, 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how Extension GPE ("we", "our", or "extension") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our browser extension.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 User-Selected Content
When you select text on a webpage and use our translation or other features, the extension temporarily captures this selected text to perform the requested function.
1.2 User Preferences
The extension stores your preferences locally, including:
- Your preferred theme (light/dark)
- Selected language preferences for translation
- Your preferred search engine
- Your chosen button action (translate, search, define)
- Your action history
2. How We Use Information
2.1 API Communication
When you use the translation or definition features, your selected text is sent to our service at server.gpeclub.com to process your request. This is necessary to provide the translation or definition functionality you've requested.
2.2 Local Storage
Your preferences are stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API to maintain your settings between sessions. These preferences are not transmitted to our servers except when needed to fulfill a specific function you request.
3. Information Sharing
3.1 Third-Party Services
When you use translation, ask AI, or definition features, the selected text is sent to our API service (server.gpeclub.com) to process your request. The extension does not share your data with any other third parties.
3.2 Search Function
If you use the search function, your selected text will be used to create a search query that opens in your browser using your selected search engine (Google or Bing).
4. Data Retention
The extension does not store the text you select for translation or other functions beyond what is necessary to perform the requested action online. Once processed, the response is not retained by the extension. The selected text and corresponding action will store locally for review.
5. User Controls
5.1 Extension Settings
You can customize how the extension functions through the settings panel, including:
- Changing the default action when clicking the extension button
- Selecting your preferred languages for translation
- Choosing your preferred search engine
5.2 Disabling or Removing
You can disable or remove the extension at any time through your browser's extension management interface.
6. Data Protection
We implement appropriate technical measures including https to protect the information collected through our extension.
7. Consent
By installing and using the Extension GPE, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.
