Behalf AI

1. Privacy Policy

Behalf AI ("we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to safeguard it. By using our extension, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect the email address you provide to create and manage your account. This email is stored securely (using a backend service such as Supabase) and retained until you delete your account. We do not store your Instagram messages; messages are only processed temporarily through the Gemini AI API to generate chat responses and then discarded.

Use of Third-Party Services

The extension uses a secure backend service (Supabase) to store account information and manage message credits. It also uses a third-party AI service (Gemini API) to process and generate responses to your messages. These services process data on our behalf, and we do not share your personal data with any other parties. Your email and usage data are used only to operate and improve Behalf AI.

Monetization

Behalf AI is monetized through the sale of message credits. There are no advertisements, and we do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone. All revenues come from user purchases of message credits for premium features.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. This includes encrypting data in transit using HTTPS, storing passwords in hashed form, and enforcing strict access controls on our systems. We regularly review our security practices to guard against unauthorized access or data breaches.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies as described in our Cookie Policy below. Cookies help us maintain your session, remember your preferences, and understand usage patterns.

Compliance with Laws

We are committed to complying with global privacy regulations. We adhere to the European Union's GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable data protection laws worldwide. We honor your rights under these laws, such as the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide our service or to comply with legal obligations.
