This Privacy Policy explains how user information is handled in the browser extension My View Point (the “Service”).
1. Basic Policy
The Service handles information only to the extent necessary to provide its features and strives not to collect unnecessary information. This policy distinguishes between information stored in the browser and information sent to external services.
Compliance with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy
The use of information in this Service complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
2. Information Handled by the Service
2-1. Information Stored in the Browser
The Service mainly stores the following information in the user’s browser:
- Selected text
- Notes entered by the user
- Information related to heading and marker positions
- Information used to identify pages
- Display style and display settings
- Data exported or imported by the backup feature
- Language settings, notification settings, and other usage settings
- Plan information, anonymous IDs, and other identifiers required for operation
This information is used to provide features such as display, restoration, list display, jumping, highlighting, and saving settings.
During normal use, this information is not automatically sent to the developer.
During normal use, the developer does not directly view this content.
2-2. Information Sent When Communicating with External Services
The Service may communicate with external services as necessary for paid-plan sign-up, license checks, trial activation, payment management, recovery, and related functions.
In that case, the following information may be used or sent:
- Anonymous ID
This information is used for license checks, trial activation, payment-related processing, payment management, and similar purposes.
2-3. When a User Voluntarily Contacts Us or Submits a Survey
The Service does not collect email addresses, inquiry messages, or survey responses as part of its normal functionality. The following describes cases where a user voluntarily chooses to contact the developer by email, submit a survey through Google Forms or a similar form, or use another external method to send feedback.
When the user uses such external methods, information entered or sent by the user may be transmitted to the developer or to external services used for support or survey collection.
In such cases, the following may be included:
- Email address (when the user sends an email)
- Inquiry message (when the user sends an email)
- Survey responses, requests, feature evaluations, and other content entered in Google Forms or similar forms
- Other information voluntarily provided by the user
- Anonymous ID (when the user opens the support page via the popup and chooses to send an email from this page)
3. Information the Developer Does Not Directly Obtain During Normal Use
During normal use of the extension, the Service does not directly obtain the user’s name, address, phone number, or other information that directly identifies an individual, except in limited cases.
Likewise, during normal use, the developer cannot automatically view the following information saved inside the Service:
- Selected text
- Notes
- Heading and marker position information
- Display settings
- Backup data stored in the browser
However, this does not apply to information that the user voluntarily enters and sends through email, Google Forms, external payment pages, or other external submission methods.
4. Purposes of Use
The Service uses the information it handles for the following purposes:
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Service
- To operate features such as saving headings, list display, jumping, highlighting, style changes, and backups
- To preserve user settings and display states
- To perform license checks, start trials, reflect billing status, and manage payments
- To respond to inquiries voluntarily sent by users and to review survey responses, feedback, and feature requests
- To investigate issues, improve quality, and prevent misuse
5. Storage Locations and Destinations
Most information handled by the Service, including selected text, notes, heading positions, and display settings, is stored mainly in the user’s browser.
On the other hand, for billing and license checks, anonymous IDs and other minimum necessary information may be sent to external services as needed.
Separately, if a user voluntarily contacts us by email, submits a survey through Google Forms or a similar form, or uses another external method to send feedback, the information entered by the user may be sent to the relevant external service as necessary for response or collection.
6. Use of External Services
The Service may use external services in order to provide its features.
Examples include the following purposes:
- Payment processing and payment management: Stripe, Inc.
- License checks, trial activation, and billing-status reflection: Google LLC (Firebase / Cloud Functions)
- Page hosting: Netlify, Inc.
- Survey collection and collection of requests / feature evaluations: Google LLC (Google Forms)
- Inquiry handling: Google LLC (Gmail, used for receiving support email)
The handling of information by those external services is governed by the terms or privacy policies of their respective providers.
7. Disclosure to Third Parties
The operator of the Service does not provide user information to third parties except in the following cases:
- When the user has given consent
- When coordination with external services is necessary for operating the Service, such as payment processing, license management, hosting, or receiving inquiries or survey responses voluntarily submitted by users
- When disclosure is required by law
- When necessary to protect life, body, or property
8. Notes on Content Saved by Users
The Service includes features that allow users to save selected text and notes for their own use.
This information is normally stored in the user’s browser, and during normal use the developer does not review its contents.
However, if users choose to save sensitive personal information, confidential information, or information related to third parties, they should do so at their own discretion, taking into account shared devices, backup file handling, and any future synchronization features that may be added.
9. Future Synchronization Features
At this time, cloud synchronization using a Google account is not included in the initial release.
If Google account integration or cloud synchronization is added in the future, for example in a Pro plan, this policy will be updated to explain the storage location, the information sent, and the scope handled by the developer or external services, and appropriate notice will be provided.
10. Retention Period
Headings, notes, settings, and other data saved in the Service are mainly stored in the user’s browser and remain until the user deletes them, the extension is removed, or the storage area is cleared.
Inquiries or survey responses that users voluntarily send through email, Google Forms, or other external methods may be retained for a certain period as necessary to respond, review, or follow up.
11. Security
The operator of the Service takes reasonable security measures to prevent leakage, loss, damage, or unauthorized access to the information handled.
However, due to the nature of internet communication and electronic storage, complete security cannot be guaranteed.
12. Use by Minors
Minor users should use the Service with parental or guardian consent when necessary.
13. Changes to This Policy
The operator of the Service may change this policy as necessary.
If there are material changes, reasonable notice will be provided.
The revised Privacy Policy takes effect when it is published.
