## Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how the Gemini Prompt Helper Chrome extension ("we," "our," or "the extension") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our extension.
## Information We Collect
### 1. Local Storage Data
The extension stores the following information locally on your device using Chrome's storage API:
- Prompt Templates*: Custom templates you create, including title, content, category, and tags
- Usage Statistics*: Template usage counts and last used dates for improving your experience
- User Preferences*: Settings such as theme preference, button position, and extension configuration
- Extension Metadata*: Installation date, data schema version, and last backup timestamps
### 2. API Key Information
- Gemini API Key*: If you choose to use the prompt optimization feature, your personal Gemini API key is stored locally in your browser
- This key is only used to communicate directly with Google's Gemini API when you explicitly request prompt optimization
### 3. Website Interaction Data
- Selected Text*: When you use the "Save as Template" context menu, the extension temporarily processes the text you select
- Current Tab URL*: Used only to detect if you're on gemini.google.com to enable direct template application
## How We Use Your Information
### 1. Core Functionality
- Store and manage your prompt templates locally
- Synchronize your data across your Chrome browsers (if Chrome sync is enabled)
