Privacy Policy for Echo IT Up

Last Updated: [May 6, 2025]

Introduction

Welcome to Echo IT Up (the "Extension"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in relation to your use of the Extension.

The core principle of this Extension is that we do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, log, or store any of the following:

• Personal information (name, email address, etc.)
• Text you process (rewrite or translate) using the Extension
• Your Groq API Key
• Your selected model preference
• Your browsing history or activity
• Any other usage data

How Your Data is Handled

The Echo IT Up Extension works by interacting with the Groq API directly from your browser.

• API Key: You are required to provide your own Groq API key for the Extension to function. This key is stored locally in your browser's `chrome.storage.sync` area. This means it is stored on your device and may be synced across your signed-in Chrome browsers. We, the developers of Echo IT Up, do not have access to your API key.
• Text Processing: When you use the Extension to rewrite or translate text, the text you select, along with your chosen task (rewrite/translate) and model preference, is sent directly from your browser to the Groq API for processing. This data is not routed through our servers, nor is it stored or logged by us. Your interaction with the Groq API is subject to Groq's own privacy policy and terms of service.
• Model Preference: Your selected model preference is also stored locally in `chrome.storage.sync` for your convenience and is not accessed by us.

Third-Party Services

The Extension relies on the Groq API to provide its functionality. Your use of the Groq API via the Extension is subject to Groq's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We encourage you to review their policies to understand how they handle your data.

Data Security

Since we do not collect or store your data, the security of your API key and the text you process is primarily managed by your own device security and Google Chrome's storage mechanisms for `chrome.storage.sync`, as well as Groq's security practices for data sent to their API.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this 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 "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
