What We Do

factcheckit is an AI-powered browser extension that helps users verify information by fact-checking selected text from web pages. We believe in transparency and protecting your privacy while providing this valuable service.

Information We Collect

✅ What We Collect:

Selected Text Only: Text you explicitly choose to fact-check
Activation Key: Stored locally on your device for API authentication
Fact-check History: Stored locally on your device (up to 50 items)

❌ What We DON'T Collect:

Personal information (name, email, address)
Browsing history or web activity
Location data
Financial information
Health information
Authentication credentials
Personal communications

How We Use Your Information

The text you select for fact-checking is:

Sent to our secure API for AI-powered verification
Processed to provide you with fact-check results
Not stored on our servers
Not shared with third parties
Not used for advertising or marketing

Data Storage

Local Storage Only:

Your activation key and fact-check history are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's secure storage API. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly select text to fact-check.

Data Security

We implement several security measures:

All communications with our API use HTTPS encryption
No persistent storage of fact-checked text on our servers
Activation keys are validated securely without exposure

Your Rights

You have full control over your data:

Access: View your locally stored history through the extension popup
Delete: Clear your history anytime using the extension's clear history feature
Control: You choose what text to fact-check - we only process what you select
Uninstall: Remove the extension anytime to delete all local data

Third-Party Services

Our extension communicates only with our own API servers for fact-checking functionality. We do not integrate with social media platforms, advertising networks, or analytics services that would compromise your privacy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Significant changes will be communicated through our extension or website.
