Privacy Policy for Syprian AI: Hallucination Check

This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, and handling of information by the Syprian AI: Hallucination Check browser extension (Chrome Web Store Item ID: agknpmejfcldlaiinkldfeabdcaicmgn), the Syprian AI Safari Web Extension, and the Syprian AI web platform (https://syprian.ai and https://ai.syprian.com).

1. Single Purpose & Overview

Syprian AI: Hallucination Check provides on-demand factual verification and hallucination detection for AI-generated responses and web text. The extension operates strictly when invoked by the user (either by clicking the extension icon/side panel button or by selecting text and choosing "Check for Hallucinations with Syprian" from the right-click context menu).

2. Information We Collect and Process

• User-Selected Text for Auditing: When you explicitly click "Audit for Hallucinations", "Capture Active Tab", or use the right-click context menu item "Check for Hallucinations with Syprian", the specific text snippet you selected or submitted is transmitted securely over HTTPS to the Syprian Hallucination Verification API solely to decompose claims, verify facts, and return an accuracy score and citations.
• Anonymous Quota Identifier: A randomly generated pseudonymous identifier (e.g., chrome-user-xxxxxxxx) is stored locally in your browser's local storage to track remaining daily free checks or Pro quota balance. We do not collect your name, physical address, phone number, browsing history, or account passwords through the extension.

3. How We Use Information

Submitted text snippets and anonymous quota identifiers are used exclusively to:

• Perform real-time factual verification and hallucination scoring requested by the user.
• Display verified claims, hallucination warnings, and primary source citations inside the extension side panel.
• Enforce anonymous daily check quotas and credit balances.

4. Data Sharing, Sale, and Third-Party Disclosures

• We do not sell, rent, or trade any user data to third parties or data brokers.
• We do not use or transfer user data for personalized advertising, retargeting, or creditworthiness determination.
• We do not collect background browsing history; pages are never read unless you actively trigger an audit.

5. Data Retention and Security

All communication between the extension and Syprian AI servers is encrypted via TLS/HTTPS. Deterministic claim-verification results are cached using cryptographic SHA-256 hashes of canonicalized claims to ensure consistent, repeatable accuracy scores without storing personally identifiable user profiles. Users may clear their local extension identifier at any time by clearing browser local storage or uninstalling the extension.

6. Chrome Web Store Limited Use Disclosure

The use of information received from Google APIs and Chrome extension APIs adheres strictly to the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies, including the Limited Use requirements. Permissions requested (sidePanel, contextMenus, and scoped AI assistant content script matches) are used solely to provide user-initiated hallucination audits.
