Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Yolper (the "Service," "we," "us," "our"), provided by Genius Creations LLC. We are deeply committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data with transparency and respect. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices you have concerning your data when you use our services, which include:

• Our web application (the "Website")
• Our Gmail AI Assistant Chrome Extension (the "Extension")

This policy is designed to be transparent and to comply with the Google Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies, the Google API Services User Data Policy, and applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect and Why

We adhere to the principle of data minimization, meaning we only collect information that is absolutely necessary to provide and improve our Service. We have categorized the data we collect in the table below for clarity.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following specific purposes:

• To Provide and Maintain the Service: We use your Account Information to manage your access and your User Content to perform the AI-powered tasks you request.
• To Improve the Service: We analyze Usage Data to understand user behavior, which helps us enhance existing features, develop new ones, and fix bugs.
• For Security and Fraud Prevention: We use Technical Information like your IP address to monitor for suspicious activity and protect our systems from abuse.
• To Communicate With You: We may use your email address to send you important service-related notices (e.g., security alerts, changes to our policies). We do not send promotional emails without your explicit consent.
• To Maintain Your Preferences: We use cookies to remember your UI preferences and maintain your authentication session.

4. How We Share and Disclose Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We only share your data with trusted third-party service providers who are contractually obligated to protect your data and are only permitted to use it to perform specific tasks on our behalf.

We may share your information with the following categories of third parties:

• AI and Infrastructure Partners: To provide the core functionality of our Service, we use third-party AI processing services and cloud infrastructure providers. These partners process your data solely to provide the services you request and do not use your data for their own purposes.
• Legal and Law Enforcement: We may disclose your information if required by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights, prevent fraud, or protect the safety of our users.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred. We will notify you of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.

5. Our Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Services

Transparency about our use of AI is critical. When you submit User Content to our Service for processing, it is sent to our third-party AI providers to generate a response.

Crucially, we have configured our integration with our AI providers to ensure that your User Content is NEVER used to train their AI models.

Your data is used solely for the purpose of inference—that is, generating the specific response you requested at that moment. It is not added to any corpus of data used for future model development by us or our partners.

For features that require memory or context, we convert your User Content into numerical representations and store them securely. This data is associated only with your account and is used exclusively to improve the contextual relevance of the responses we provide to you. This data is also not used for training any general-purpose AI models.

6. Data Security and Retention

Security

We take the security of your data very seriously and implement a variety of industry-standard security measures to protect it.

• Encryption in Transit: All data is transmitted between the Extension, our Website, and our servers using strong Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption (HTTPS).
• Encryption at Rest: All User Content and personal data stored in our databases is encrypted.
• Access Controls: Access to personal data within our organization is strictly limited to authorized personnel who require it to perform their job functions and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Authentication Security: Passwords are hashed using industry-standard bcrypt encryption. We use secure session management with automatic expiration.

Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

• Account Information: We retain your Account Information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, this information will be deleted within 30 days.
• User Content: User Content is retained while your account is active. Chat history and processed content are deleted when you delete your account.
• Usage Data: Anonymous usage metrics are retained for up to 90 days for service improvement purposes.
• Legal Obligations: We may retain certain information for a longer period if required to comply with our legal obligations.
