Privacy Policy for Hey Kivo
Effective Date: 5th April, 2025

Hey Kivo is a browser extension that helps users generate AI-powered replies to social media comments and messages. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how your data is handled.

1. Data Collection
   Hey Kivo does not collect or store any personally identifiable information. The extension runs locally in your browser and only processes content you interact with directly (e.g., text from comments or messages you highlight for response).

We do not track your browsing history, capture your login credentials, or access private data from websites.

1. Permissions
   Hey Kivo requests host permissions for supported social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) in order to:

Read selected content on the page

Generate relevant AI-based reply suggestions

These permissions are used solely to support the extension’s single purpose and are not used to collect data for storage or resale.

1. Third-Party APIs
   Hey Kivo connects to trusted third-party AI services (e.g., OpenAI) to generate responses based on the text you select. Text sent to the API is not stored by Hey Kivo, and we do not log or retain any user input or output.

Please refer to the privacy policies of those services for further details on their data handling practices.

1. Data Sharing
   We do not sell, share, or transfer your data to any third parties. All data processing is done locally or securely through encrypted API communication.
2. Security
   Hey Kivo does not store data. However, we follow industry best practices in securing our code and API communication to ensure user data is protected during processing.
3. Changes to This Policy
   If this Privacy Policy is updated, we will update the “Effective Date” above. We encourage users to review this page periodically for any changes.
