INTRODUCTION

Welcome to AI Daily Companion ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience when using our Chrome extension. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices regarding the information we collect when you use AI Daily Companion.

SINGLE PURPOSE DESCRIPTION

AI Daily Companion is designed with a single core purpose: to combat loneliness and support emotional wellbeing through AI-powered daily interactions, mood tracking, and personalized supportive conversations. All permissions and data collection practices are directly tied to fulfilling this purpose.

DATA COLLECTION AND USE

What Information We Collect

  • User-provided Information:

    • Mood data and emotional state information that you voluntarily share

    • Conversation content and interaction history

    • Personalization preferences

  • Automatically Collected Information:

    • Usage statistics (frequency of interactions, engagement patterns)

    • Technical information necessary for the functioning of the extension

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information solely to:

  • Provide personalized conversational support

  • Track mood patterns to offer relevant emotional support

  • Improve the AI companion's ability to provide meaningful interactions

  • Enhance the overall user experience

PERMISSIONS JUSTIFICATIONS

Alarms Permission

Justification: The alarms permission is used to schedule daily check-ins and mood tracking prompts at user-defined intervals. This allows the extension to provide consistent emotional support through gentle reminders to engage with the companion, which is essential for the extension's core purpose of combating loneliness and promoting regular emotional wellbeing check-ins.

Host Permission Use

Justification: Host permissions are used solely to integrate the AI companion's functionality within the browser environment. This allows the extension to provide supportive interactions while users browse the web, offering emotional support at appropriate moments without requiring the user to navigate away from their current activity, which is crucial for providing seamless support.

Notifications Permission

Justification: The notifications permission enables the AI companion to send timely check-in reminders, supportive messages, and mood tracking prompts. This is essential for maintaining consistent supportive interactions, especially when users might benefit from emotional support but haven't actively opened the extension. All notifications are related to the core purpose of providing emotional support and combating loneliness.

Remote Code Use

Justification: Remote code is used exclusively to maintain and improve the AI models that power the companion's conversational abilities. This ensures that users receive the most advanced emotional support possible without requiring frequent manual updates to the extension. All remote code is security-audited and focused solely on enhancing the AI's ability to provide meaningful emotional support conversations.

Side Panel Permission

Justification: The side panel permission allows users to easily access the AI companion while browsing without interrupting their workflow. This provides a convenient way to engage in supportive conversations, log moods, or receive emotional support without switching contexts, making the companion more accessible during moments when emotional support might be needed.

Storage Permission

Justification: Storage permissions are necessary to maintain personalization preferences, conversation history, and mood tracking data. This allows the AI companion to provide personalized support based on your history and preferences, recognize patterns in your emotional wellbeing, and offer consistent support over time. All stored data is used exclusively for improving the quality of emotional support provided.

Tabs Permission

Justification: The tabs permission is used to allow seamless integration of the AI companion across your browsing experience. This enables the extension to provide contextual emotional support without disrupting your workflow. The extension does not track or analyze the content of websites you visit; this permission is used solely to enable the companion to be available across tabs for continuous support.

DATA SECURITY

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. All stored data is encrypted, and we follow industry-standard security practices.

DATA RETENTION AND DELETION

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide you with the AI companion service. You can delete your mood history, conversation data, and preferences at any time through the extension's settings menu. Upon uninstalling the extension, all locally stored data is automatically removed.

USER CONTROL AND CHOICES

You have control over:

  • What personal information you share with the AI companion

  • Frequency and timing of check-in reminders

  • Storage of conversation history (with options to disable)

  • Mood tracking features (can be enabled/disabled)

  • Notification preferences

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

AI Daily Companion is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete that information.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Chrome Web Store and within the extension. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
