GhostChat Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 24, 2026

GhostChat (“we”, “our”, “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data GhostChat collects, how it is used, and your choices.

1. Scope

This policy applies to the GhostChat browser extension and the GhostChat page at https://sapienx.app/ghostchat/.

2. Information We Collect

GhostChat is designed to minimize data collection.

We may process:

• Profile data you provide: such as display name and avatar.
• Extension settings and app state: preferences (theme, notifications, danmaku), room/session state, and local app data.
• Message data: chat messages and reactions exchanged through the extension.
• Technical/browser context data: current site context required for extension features (for example, site-level chat and risk signals).

3. How Data Is Used

We use data only to operate and improve GhostChat features, including:

• enabling chat functionality,
• showing notifications you opt into,
• saving your settings and local state,
• computing on-device/site-level safety signals.

4. Storage and Processing

GhostChat primarily uses local browser storage and extension storage.

Chat functionality uses peer communication mechanisms; data flow depends on active peers and browser runtime behavior.

We do not sell personal data.

5. Chrome Extension Permissions

GhostChat may request these permissions:

• storage: save settings, profile, and local extension state.
• notifications: show message/feature alerts.
• tabs: support site-context features and extension behavior tied to active pages.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent user data.

We only share data when required to provide the service (for example, browser/runtime infrastructure) or if legally required.

7. Data Retention

Data is retained only as needed for functionality. You can remove local extension data by clearing extension storage or uninstalling GhostChat.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.

9. Children’s Privacy

GhostChat is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

10. Your Choices

You can:

• disable notifications in extension settings,
• edit/remove profile details,
• clear extension/browser stored data,
• uninstall the extension at any time.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
