Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Whisk Automation ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you install and use our Google Chrome extension. We are committed to protecting user privacy and ensuring transparency about how data is handled.

Our extension is designed to operate primarily on the user's device and only accesses information necessary to provide its intended functionality.

Information We Collect

The extension does not collect or sell personal data for advertising or tracking purposes. However, depending on the features enabled by the user, the extension may process the following categories of information:

Authentication Information

If the extension supports sign-in or integration with third-party services (such as Google or external APIs), authentication tokens or credentials may be used temporarily to authorize access.

Passwords, PINs, or security answers are not stored by the extension. Authentication data is handled securely and used solely to enable access to requested services.

Newsletter Subscription: When you register for an account through our system, you are automatically subscribed to our newsletter. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in newsletter emails.

User Activity Data

The extension may process limited user interactions only when the user explicitly initiates an action. This can include:

• Button clicks within the extension interface
• User-triggered commands or workflows
• Interaction with extension features

The extension does not perform background monitoring, keystroke logging, mouse tracking, or behavioral profiling.

Website Content

When required for core functionality, the extension may access or process content visible on the active web page, such as:

• Text
• Images
• Videos
• Links or structured page elements

This access occurs only on pages chosen by the user and only after explicit user interaction. Website content is not permanently stored unless necessary for a user-requested task (e.g., exporting data).

Technical and Usage Data

The extension may collect non-identifying technical information such as:

• Browser type and version
• Extension usage statistics (feature usage, errors)
• Performance or diagnostic data

This information is used solely to improve extension reliability and functionality.

How We Use Information

Collected information is used only to:

• Provide and operate extension features
• Improve performance and user experience
• Process user-initiated requests
• Diagnose and fix technical issues
• Ensure security and prevent misuse
• Send newsletters and product updates (if subscribed)

We do not use collected data for advertising, profiling, or tracking users across websites.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade user data.

Information may be shared only in the following limited circumstances:

• Legal Compliance: When required by law or legal process
• Service Providers: With trusted third-party services strictly necessary to provide requested features (e.g., AI APIs, email service providers)
• Security: To protect our rights, users, or systems from abuse or harm

All third-party services are expected to comply with applicable data protection standards.

Data Retention

Data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the user-requested functionality. Temporary data may be stored locally and is automatically cleared when no longer needed or when the extension is uninstalled.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Sensitive data is transmitted securely and never exposed unnecessarily.

Third-Party Services

The extension may interact with third-party websites or APIs. These services operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their data practices. Users are encouraged to review third-party privacy policies separately.

User Controls and Choices

Users can:

• Control permissions via Chrome's extension settings
• Limit or disable features at any time
• Uninstall the extension to stop all data processing immediately
• Unsubscribe from newsletters using the link provided in emails

Children's Privacy

The extension is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page, and the "Effective Date" will be updated accordingly. Continued use of the extension constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
