How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To Provide and Maintain Our Service: We use your information to enable the core functionality of the extension, including capturing event details from webpages and managing your Google Calendar.

• To Provide Support: We may use your information to respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
• To Ensure Security: We use information to detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security vulnerabilities.

Data Processing and Storage

Local Processing: CalAIder uses Chrome's built-in AI (Gemini Nano) to process event extraction locally on your device. This means that webpage content is analyzed on your computer, not sent to external servers for processing.

Local Storage: Event data and user preferences are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Google API Interaction: When you add, edit, or delete calendar events, CalAIder communicates directly with Google's Calendar API using secure OAuth 2.0 authentication. We do not store or have access to your Google account credentials.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties if you provide explicit consent.
• With Google Services: Calendar data is shared with Google Calendar API to enable calendar management features. This interaction is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
• To Protect Rights: We may disclose information to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and that of our users or the public.

Security of Your Information

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it, including:

• Using secure OAuth 2.0 authentication for Google account access
• Processing sensitive data locally on your device when possible
• Encrypting data transmissions using HTTPS
• Following Chrome extension security best practices
• Limiting extension permissions to only what is necessary for functionality

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
