Privacy Policy

We believe in privacy by design. This document outlines how Reply Guy collects, uses, and protects your data, with a focus on local-first storage and transparency.

Last Updated: January 26, 2025

1. Introduction

Reply Guy ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Reply Guy Chrome Extension and associated services. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about our policy, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us.

This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected through our website and Chrome Extension.

2. The "Local-First" Architecture

Your API Keys Stay on Your Device

Unlike many other AI tools, Reply Guy does not store your Google Gemini API key on our servers. Your API key is stored locally within your browser's "Chrome Storage" sandbox. It is sent directly from your browser to Google's servers to process requests. We never see, log, or store your AI credentials.

3. Information We Collect

We collect information that falls into two categories: information you provide to us directly, and information processed locally by the extension.

  • Account Information: When you subscribe, we collect your email address and generate a License Key to manage your subscription status.
  • Extension Configuration (Local): Your strategy rules, persona instructions, topic filters, and API keys are stored locally on your device.
  • Website Content (Transient): To function, the extension reads the text of posts on X.com (Twitter) currently visible on your screen. This text is processed to generate a reply and is not permanently stored on our servers.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

Service ProvisionTo verify your license key and ensure you have access to the features you have paid for.
AI ProcessingTweet text is sent to the Google Gemini API to generate relevant replies based on your instructions.

5. Third-Party Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. However, to provide our service, data is shared with the following trusted third-party infrastructure:

Google Gemini (AI Provider)

The text of tweets you select to reply to is sent to Google's API for processing. Google's use of this data is governed by their Privacy Policy and API Terms.

Clerk (Authentication)

We use Clerk to manage secure user authentication and session management.

6. Data Retention and Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process.

Retention: We retain your account information (email and license status) for as long as your account is active. We do not retain the content of your tweets or generated replies on our servers.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., if you are a resident of the EEA, UK, or California), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • The right to request access to and obtain a copy of your personal information.
  • The right to request rectification or erasure of your personal information.
  • The right to restrict the processing of your personal information.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email provided below.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. We encourage you to review this privacy policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
