Privacy Policy for Gemini Watermark Erase

1. Information We Collect and Why

We only collect the minimum amount of data necessary to provide and maintain our services, adhering strictly to Google's data minimization policies:

• Personal Identifiable Information (Email Address): When you create an account or log in to the extension, we collect your email address. This is used solely for user authentication, account management, subscription/license verification, and providing developer support. We will never use your email for unauthorized marketing or sell it to third parties.

2. Zero-Data Policy for Your Media & Images

While we collect your email for account purposes, your core creative data remains entirely private:

• No Image Storage: All image processing, canvas operations, and watermark removal tasks are executed entirely locally within your browser client.
• No Uploads: Your generated images, download histories, and AI prompts are never uploaded to our servers, logged, or transmitted to any external parties.

3. Browser Permissions and Usage

The extension requires specific technical permissions to operate. We use these strictly under the "Principle of Least Privilege":

• downloads: Used to save the processed, watermark-free images directly to your local device.
• storage: Used to securely store user login tokens, preferences, and local configurations.
• cookies: Used to maintain session consistency with the official Google AI platforms to fetch target image assets.
• webNavigation: Needed to detect single-page application (SPA) routing changes within Gemini and Google AI Studio to ensure the tool triggers correctly.
• Host Permissions (gemini.google.com / aistudio.google.com): Restricted entirely to official domains to inject the necessary script for processing generated images locally.

4. Data Security and Third-Party Disclosure

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your registered email address. We do not sell, trade, rent, or transfer your personal data to any third parties, except as required by law or strictly for user authentication services.

5. Compliance with Google Developer Policies

This extension complies fully with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
