Privacy Policy for AWS Study Mate

1. Introduction

Welcome to AWS Study Mate. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.

This Privacy Policy explains how our Chrome Extension handles information when you use our services to enhance your learning experience on Udemy.

2. Information We Collect

To provide our AI-powered features, AWS Study Mate collects user-initiated content and technical settings.

• User-Initiated Content: When you click the "Ask AI" or similar action buttons, the extension captures the text of the quiz question and the provided multiple-choice options currently displayed on your screen.
• Technical Settings: We store your preferences such as preferred language (English/Vietnamese) and UI theme (Light/Dark mode) locally on your browser.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To Provide Explanations: Captured questions are sent to our secure servers (`api.awsstudymate.com`) to generate accurate AI-driven explanations and study support.
• To Improve Accuracy: We store the submitted questions and answers on our servers to refine our AI models, fix incorrect interpretations, and improve the overall quality of explanations for future users.
• Local Customization: Your settings are used to maintain your preferred interface experience across different sessions.

4. Data Storage and Security

• Local Storage: Your settings are stored using `chrome.storage.local` and remain on your device.
• Server Storage: Question data is stored securely on our servers. We implement industry-standard security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of this data.
• No Behavioral Tracking: We do not track your behavior, clicks, or interactions beyond the specific action of requesting an AI explanation.

5. Third-Party Sharing

We do NOT sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your data to outside parties.

Data is only processed through our proprietary API to interact with AI models for the sole purpose of providing the service you requested.

6. Your Rights and Choices

• Data Deletion: You can stop all data collection by uninstalling the extension.
• Opt-out: The extension only collects question data when you explicitly interact with it. If you do not click the AI support buttons, no question data is sent to our servers.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time.

We will notify you of any changes by updating the Last Updated date at the top of this page.
