Business Bandit Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 29, 2024

1. Information We Collect

The Business Bandit extension collects only minimal data necessary for its function, and we do not store any data on our servers or externally. Specifically:

- Website URL: When you use the extension, we process the website’s URL to generate a business model canvas. This data is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted, stored, or shared externally.
- User Preferences: Any user preferences or settings (e.g., language or display options) are stored locally on your device and not shared or stored on any external servers.
We do not collect any personal identifying information (PII) or any information beyond what is necessary for the extension’s core functionality.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information collected by Business Bandit is used solely for the following purposes:

- Generate Business Model Canvases: The website URL you provide is used locally to extract business information and generate a business model canvas.
- Enhance User Experience: User preferences are stored locally to personalize the extension’s display and functionality to improve your experience.

Since all data is processed and stored locally, we do not transmit, sell, or share any user data with third parties.

3. Permissions Used by the Extension

The Business Bandit extension requests the following permissions to function:

- activeTab: To access the currently active tab's URL in order to extract relevant business data.
- host permissions: To read and analyze content from the websites you choose.
- storage: To save user settings and preferences locally on your device.
- tabs: To manage multiple website analyses without losing progress across different tabs.
- system.display: To ensure the business model canvas displays optimally across different screen sizes and resolutions.

4. Data Retention

Since Business Bandit does not store or transmit any data externally, there is no data retention beyond what is stored locally on your device. You can clear your locally stored data by adjusting your browser settings or uninstalling the extension.

5. Third-Party Services

Business Bandit does not use or integrate with any third-party services for data collection or processing. All functionality, including URL analysis and business model generation, occurs locally within your browser.

6. Security

We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your information. Since no data is transmitted or stored externally, the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access is minimal. However, we encourage users to follow general security best practices when browsing the web and using browser extensions.

7. User Rights

You have control over all data associated with the Business Bandit extension, as all data is stored locally on your device. You can:

- Clear local data by adjusting your browser’s storage settings.
- Disable or uninstall the extension at any time to stop further data processing.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle your information.
