## Introduction
Link Comment Helper is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Chrome extension.

## Information We Do Not Collect
We want to be clear that Link Comment Helper:
- Does NOT collect any personal information
- Does NOT track your browsing history
- Does NOT store your data on any external servers
- Does NOT share any information with third parties

## Data Storage
The only data we store is:
1. Comment templates that you create
2. A record of which comments you've used on which websites
3. Your language preference setting

All this data is:
- Stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage.sync API
- Only accessible by you
- Never transmitted to external servers
- Automatically synced across your Chrome browsers if you're signed into Chrome

## Data Usage
The stored data is used solely to:
- Display your saved comments in the extension popup
- Track which comments you've used on different websites to prevent duplication
- Remember your preferred language setting

## Permissions
Our extension requires certain permissions:
1. "storage": To save your comment templates and settings locally
2. "contextMenus": To create right-click menu options
3. "activeTab": To insert formatted text into text fields

These permissions are used only for the core functionality of the extension and do not enable any form of tracking or data collection.

## Updates to Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
