Privacy Policy - Robot Avatar

Introduction

Thank you for using the Robot Avatar Generator Chrome extension. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle your information when you use our extension.

Information We Collect

The Robot Avatar Generator extension is designed with privacy in mind. We collect and store:

Local Storage Only: All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage API. We do not transmit any personal data to our servers.
Avatar History: We temporarily store a history of previously generated avatars in your browser's local storage to provide the history feature.
User Preferences: Settings such as dark mode preference, last used text input, robot set, size, and background preferences are stored locally on your device.

How We Use Information

The information we collect is used solely to improve your experience with the extension:

To provide a history of previously generated avatars
To remember your preferences and settings
To enable quick access to your favorite avatars

We do not use your data for advertising or share it with third parties.

Data Storage

All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API. We do not store any information on external servers. Your avatar history and preferences never leave your browser.

Text Input Considerations

Please be aware that the text you enter is used to generate your avatar and becomes part of the avatar's URL. We recommend:

Not using personally identifiable information (full name, email address, etc.) as your avatar seed text.
Being cautious about sharing avatar URLs that might contain sensitive information in the seed text.

Browser Permissions

The Robot Avatar Generator extension requests the following permissions:

Storage: To save your preferences and avatar history locally on your device.
clipboardWrite: To allow copying avatar URLs to your clipboard when you use the copy URL feature.

Third-Party API Usage

This extension uses the Robohash API (https://robohash.org) to generate robot avatars. When you use this extension:

Your browser sends requests to the Robohash API to generate robot avatars.
The text you enter (seed) is sent to the API as part of the URL to generate a unique avatar.
We do not send any personally identifiable information other than the text you enter for avatar generation.
Standard HTTP information (such as your IP address) may be logged by the API's servers according to their own privacy policy.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website only, not in the extension itself. The extension does not collect usage statistics or analytics data.

Children's Privacy

Our extension is suitable for users of all ages and does not collect any personal information from children under the age of 13.

Your Rights and Choices

Since all data is processed locally on your device, you maintain complete control over your information. You can:

Clear avatar history through the extension's interface
Use Chrome's built-in tools to clear local storage data
Uninstall the extension to remove all associated data

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the extension.
