1. Introduction

Welcome to LipsumX ("we," "our," or "us"). LipsumX is a browser extension designed to generate Lorem Ipsum placeholder text in over 30 languages. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our browser extension (available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge) and our website at lipsumx.neisterse.com (collectively, the "Service").

By using LipsumX, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please do not use our Service.

2. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to:

The LipsumX browser extension for Google Chrome
The LipsumX browser extension for Mozilla Firefox
The LipsumX browser extension for Microsoft Edge
The LipsumX website (lipsumx.neisterse.com)
The LipsumX API service
The LipsumX CLI tool

This policy does not apply to any third-party websites, services, or applications that may be linked from our Service.

3. Data Collection

3.1 Personal Information

We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII). LipsumX is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not require you to create an account, provide your name, email address, or any other personal information to use our Service.

3.2 Information We Do NOT Collect

We explicitly do not collect:

Names, email addresses, or contact information
IP addresses or precise location data
Browsing history or web activity
Form data or text you enter on websites
Passwords, financial information, or payment details
Device identifiers or fingerprinting data
Social media profiles or connections
Cookies for tracking purposes

3.3 Automatically Collected Information

When you use our website or extension, we may automatically collect limited, anonymous usage statistics through our privacy-focused analytics platform. This is detailed in Section 6 (Analytics).

4. Local Data Storage

LipsumX stores certain data locally on your device using the browser's built-in storage APIs. This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

4.1 Data Stored Locally

Data Type	Purpose	Retention
Theme Preference	Remember your light/dark/system theme choice	Until you clear it
Language Setting	Remember your default Lorem Ipsum language	Until you clear it
Generation Settings	Remember text type (paragraph/sentence/word) and count	Until you clear it
UI Language	Remember your interface language preference	Until you clear it
Generation History	Store your recent generated texts for convenience	Last 50 items
"Start with Lorem ipsum" Toggle	Remember your preference for starting text	Until you clear it

4.2 Clearing Local Data

You can clear your locally stored data at any time through:

Extension Settings: Use the "Clear History" button to remove generation history, or "Reset All Settings" to restore defaults
Browser Settings: Clear the extension's storage through your browser's extension management page
Uninstallation: All local data is automatically deleted when you uninstall the extension

5. Browser Permissions Explained

LipsumX requires certain browser permissions to function. We believe in the principle of minimal permissions and only request what is absolutely necessary for the extension to work.

storage

Why we need it: To save your preferences (theme, language, settings) and generation history locally on your device.

What we do with it: Store your settings in browser local storage. This data never leaves your device.

contextMenus

Why we need it: To add the "LipsumX" option to your right-click menu for quick Lorem Ipsum insertion.

What we do with it: Create menu items that let you generate and insert Lorem Ipsum text directly into text fields.

activeTab

Why we need it: To insert generated text into the active page when you use the context menu or keyboard shortcut.

What we do with it: Only when you explicitly request it, we insert Lorem Ipsum text into the currently focused text field. We do NOT read any content from the page.

clipboardWrite

Why we need it: To copy generated Lorem Ipsum text to your clipboard when you click "Copy."

What we do with it: Write the generated text to your clipboard. We never read from your clipboard.

alarms

Why we need it: To maintain service worker reliability in Manifest V3 extensions.

What we do with it: Send periodic keep-alive signals to ensure the context menu and keyboard shortcuts remain functional.

Host Permissions (Active Tab Only)

Why we need it: To execute content scripts that insert Lorem Ipsum text into text fields.

What we do with it: Only when you explicitly trigger insertion (via context menu or keyboard shortcut), we inject a small script to insert the generated text. We do NOT:

Read page content
Access your data on websites
Track your browsing
Modify pages without your action
