Privacy Policy for DEEP Assistant

Last updated: 2025/9/12

Overview

DEEP Assistant is a browser extension that provides AI chat functionality through various AI providers. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your data.

Data We Collect

Website Content

DEEP Assistant may collect website content including:

  • Text content from web pages you choose to share with the AI assistant
  • Images that you explicitly share through the chat interface
  • URLs and page titles of websites you visit (only when you actively engage with the extension)
  • Selected text or hyperlinks that you choose to discuss with the AI

Important: Website content is only collected when you actively use the extension's features (clicking the floating icon, using the sidebar, or accessing the chat interface). The extension does not automatically collect or monitor your browsing activity.

Chat Data

  • Chat messages and conversations you have with the AI assistant
  • User prompts and AI responses
  • Chat history stored locally in your browser

Configuration Data

  • AI provider preferences (which AI services you choose to use)
  • Extension settings and customizations
  • Site preferences (websites where you've chosen to hide the floating icon)

How We Use Your Data

Local Storage

  • All chat history and personal preferences are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API
  • Your data never leaves your device except when sent to AI providers (see below)

AI Provider Communication

  • When you send a message to an AI assistant, your message is transmitted to your selected AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, etc.)
  • Each AI provider has their own privacy policy governing how they handle your data
  • You control which AI provider receives your data through the extension's settings

Website Content Processing

  • Website content is only processed when you explicitly share it through the chat interface
  • Content may be sent to your chosen AI provider to generate relevant responses
  • No automatic content scanning or background data collection occurs
