Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to BlabbyAI! Our Chrome extension offers advanced speech-to-text capabilities using AI. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, protect, and manage your data to ensure your privacy while using our services.
Information Collection and Use
- User Preferences: BlabbyAI stores user preferences (such as enabling/disabling the extension on specific websites) locally on your device. This information is used solely to customize your experience with the extension.
- User Authentication: BlabbyAI uses Google authentication to verify user access. No personal account details are collected or stored during this process.
- Website Interaction: The extension may access URLs of websites where it is used, ensuring it functions correctly based on user preferences.
- User-Created Modes: User-created modes are stored securely on our servers, allowing users to access them whenever needed. Users have full control over their modes and can modify or delete them at any time
Data Storage and Protection
- Zero Data Retention (ZDR) for Transcription: BlabbyAI processes transcribed speech on its servers and follows a strict Zero Data Retention (ZDR) policy. This means that transcriptions are processed in real-time and discarded immediately after processing, ensuring your privacy and that no transcription data is stored or retained on our servers.
- OpenAI GPT Models: For certain modes that involve additional AI capabilities (e.g., correct grammar, translation), BlabbyAI utilizes GPT models. In these cases, OpenAI retains data for up to 30 days for service quality and security purposes.
If you are dictating sensitive or confidential information, we recommend using the transcription without any modes applied to it, as this does not involve data sharing with external servers and follows ZDR (Zero Data Retention) policy.
Use of Chrome Extension Permissions
- Storage: To remember user preferences and enhance functionality.
- Chrome Identity API: For user identification using existing Google accounts, simplifying the user experience.
- Tabs and Host: To ensure the extension interacts appropriately with web content when converting speech to text.
- Scripting: BlabbyAI uses scripting permissions to inject the extension into existing tabs, ensuring smooth integration and functionality across different websites.
- Offscreen: BlabbyAI uses off-screen permissions to capture audio without needing to request microphone access for each website, providing a smoother and more seamless user experience.
User Control and Consent
You have full control over your settings within the extension and can adjust them anytime. By using BlabbyAI, you consent to the practices outlined in this policy.
