Privacy Policy

Your data stays yours. Here's exactly how we handle information.

Last updated: February 13, 2026

Our Privacy Promise

At FB AI Reply, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to data handling in clear, simple terms. We follow a simple principle: your data should stay on your device.

1. What We Don't Do

Let's be crystal clear:

  • ❌ We don't collect personal data - no names, emails, or identifying information
  • ❌ We don't store your API key - it stays in your browser only
  • ❌ We don't track your activity - no analytics on what you post or reply to
  • ❌ We don't sell any data - we have nothing to sell
  • ❌ We don't use cookies for tracking purposes

2. What Data is Stored (Locally Only)

The extension stores the following information exclusively in your browser's local storage:

  • OpenAI API Key: Used to authenticate requests to OpenAI's API. This never leaves your device except when making API calls directly to OpenAI.
  • Extension Settings: Your preferred language, default persona, and UI preferences.

This data is stored using Chrome's storage.local API and is not synced to any servers we control.

3. Data Flow When Generating Replies

When you click the AI Reply button:

  1. The extension reads the text of the Facebook post you're viewing
  2. This text is sent directly from your browser to OpenAI's API (api.openai.com)
  3. OpenAI generates a response and sends it back to your browser
  4. The response is displayed in the extension's modal window

Important: The post content passes through our servers never. The communication is strictly between your browser and OpenAI.

4. Third-Party Services

We interact with the following third parties:

  • OpenAI API: For text generation. Please review OpenAI's Privacy Policy. As of our last update, OpenAI states they do not use API data to train their models by default.
  • Google Analytics: Used on this website only (not in the extension) to understand visitor traffic patterns. You can opt out using browser extensions like uBlock Origin.
  • GitHub: For hosting our open-source code repository.

5. Permissions Explained

The extension requests these permissions:

  • storage - To save your settings and API key locally
  • host_permissions for facebook.com - To inject the reply button and read post content when you click it
  • host_permissions for api.openai.com - To send requests to OpenAI's API

6. Transparency

FB AI Reply is built with transparency in mind. The extension code is clean, auditable, and respects your privacy. If you have technical questions about how the extension works, feel free to reach out.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Uninstall the extension at any time (this removes all locally stored data)
  • Clear extension data through Chrome's settings
  • Request information about how your data is handled

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the extension evolves. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. For significant changes, we'll announce them via GitHub releases.
