Privacy Policy for DaNews Extension

Effective Date:11-11-2024

At DaNews, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard data when you use our extension. By using DaNews, you agree to the terms outlined below.

1. Information We Collect

The DaNews extension only collects the following information when the extension is active:

• URL: We collect the URL of the webpage you are viewing, specifically for news articles, to identify and process the article for summarization and fake news detection.
• Body Text: The extension extracts and processes the body text of the news article displayed in the active tab for the purposes of generating a summary and detecting whether the content is potentially fake or misleading.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• News Summarization: We use the body text of the news article to create a concise summary, making it easier for you to quickly understand the content.
• Fake News Detection: The extracted text is analyzed using AI and machine learning models to detect and identify potential misinformation or fake news.

3. Data Storage and Retention

We do not store or retain any personally identifiable information or article data beyond the active session. Once the summarization and analysis process is completed, the data (URL and body text) is discarded and not stored in any permanent database.

4. Data Sharing

We do not share the collected data with any third parties except when required by law, or as necessary to operate our service. This includes compliance with legal requests such as subpoenas or court orders.

5. Cookies and Tracking

DaNews does not use cookies or any other tracking technologies to monitor your activity across websites. The extension operates on the active tab only, and no personal data is collected or tracked beyond the contents of the webpage you are currently viewing.

6. Data Security

While we take reasonable precautions to safeguard the data we collect, it is important to note that no method of electronic transmission is 100% secure. We employ security measures to protect the data during its temporary processing but cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete the data we process about you. Since no personal data is stored by DaNews, the data collected (URL and article body) is only retained temporarily and is discarded after the processing session ends.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.
