Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Citation Manager is a browser extension and companion site designed to help users manage local business citations by auto-filling NAP data and generating AI-powered descriptions. We take privacy seriously and aim to collect as little personal data as possible.

Information stored by the extension

The Citation Manager extension stores the following data locally in your browser:

This data is stored using Chrome’s storage API on your device. It is not automatically sent to our servers.

Use of OpenAI’s API

When you request an AI-generated description, the extension sends relevant business profile data and your prompt to the OpenAI API using the API key you have provided. The request is made directly from the extension/background script to OpenAI.

Citation Manager does not use your API key for any purpose other than generating descriptions on your behalf. Your use of OpenAI is also governed by OpenAI’s own terms and privacy policy.

Website analytics

The website at citationmanager.app may use basic, privacy-friendly analytics (for example, privacy-focused tools that do not use cookies or store IP addresses long term) to understand aggregated usage, such as page views and referrers. No analytics data is linked to your extension data.

Data sharing and selling

We do not sell, rent, or trade your business profile data or API key. We do not share extension data with third parties except as necessary to:

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information processed by the extension, but no system can be completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your devices and browser secure and for protecting your OpenAI API key.

Your choices

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the extension after changes means you accept the updated policy.
