Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 25, 2025

1. Overview

Welcome to ChartLense. Your privacy is a top priority for us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and protect it, and your rights regarding your data. Our practices are designed to comply with the Google Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements, as well as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. The Single Purpose of Our Extension

ChartLense has a single purpose: to provide you with **AI-powered visual analysis of trading charts**. All the data we collect and process is strictly necessary to fulfill this core function.

3. Information We Collect and How We Use It

a. Screenshot Data

When you use our extension, you will capture a screenshot of a trading chart. This screenshot is the primary piece of data we process. We use this screenshot exclusively to provide you with the AI analysis you requested.

b. Account and Usage Information

  • **Account Information:** When you create an account using Google Firebase Authentication, we collect your email address for authentication and communication purposes.
  • **Payment Information:** If you subscribe to a paid plan, our payment processor, Stripe, will collect and process your payment information. We do not store your full credit card details.
  • **Usage Data:** We collect data about your interactions with our service, such as the number of analyses you perform, to manage your quota and improve our service.

c. Technical and Interaction Data

Active Tab URL: To ensure our service works correctly, the extension checks the URL of your active tab to verify that you are on a supported charting website. We do not store or track your browsing history across different sites.

User Interaction: We process your click on the "Analyze" button to initiate the chart analysis. We do not monitor other user activities like mouse movements or keyboard input.

4. Disclosure to Third Parties

To provide our service, we need to share your screenshot data with a few trusted third-party service providers. We have carefully vetted these providers to ensure they meet our strict privacy and security standards.

  • **Cloudflare, Inc.:** We use Cloudflare as a secure proxy to process and route your requests. Your screenshot data passes through Cloudflare's network on its way to the AI provider.
  • **OpenAI and Google:** We send your screenshot to our AI providers, OpenAI and Google, who perform the visual analysis. They process the image and return the analysis to us.
  • **Stripe, Inc.:** We use Stripe for payment processing and subscription management.
  • **Google Firebase:** We use Firebase Authentication for secure account creation and management. This service securely handles your login credentials.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any other third parties for their own marketing purposes.

5. Data Retention and Human Access

a. Data Retention

We do not permanently store your screenshots. They are deleted immediately after the analysis is complete. Our third-party providers have their own data retention policies for abuse and misuse monitoring:

  • Our AI providers, OpenAI and Google, retain screenshot data for abuse and misuse monitoring for a maximum of 30 days (OpenAI) and 55 days (Google), after which it is deleted.
  • Your account information and usage data are retained for as long as your account is active and for a maximum of 36 months after your last activity to comply with legal obligations.

b. Human Access to Data

We have a strict policy prohibiting human access to your data. The only exceptions are:

  • When it is necessary for security purposes, such as investigating abuse.
  • To comply with applicable laws.
  • When you give us your explicit consent to access your data to resolve a technical issue.
