Privacy Policy of Chinese words separator extension
This publisher declares that your data is:
Not being sold to third parties, outside of the approved use cases.
Not being used or transferred for purposes that are unrelated to the item's core functionality.
Not being used or transferred to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
Privacy policy on user's Google sheets:
All to-remember (hearted words) dictionary definition gets stored only to the Google Sheet set by the language learner in Chinese words separator's Options screen. This setting is set on the field named Learning tracking sheet in Chinese words separator's Options screen.
Access to Google Sheets is granted to Chinese words separator extension so the extension can add the hearted words directly to a Google sheet named Words from the Learning tracking sheet.
No data are collected from the user's profile, not even the hearted words
Without granting Chinese words separator extension an access to Google Sheets, the extension will not be able to add hearted words directly to the Learning tracking sheet (a Google sheet)
With that said, the language learner can just copy the definitions (by pressing letter 'c' or right-clicking the heart icon) from Chinese words separator's dictionary then paste the copied definitions to their learning tracking sheet. It's not as convenient than the Chinese words separator extension directly adding the hearted words to language learner's Google sheet; however, this method can be used by those who need utmost privacy for their Google sheets
Chinese words separator will only use access to append dictionary definitions to a Google sheet (which was set in Options screen) to allow users to quickly add dictionary definitions to their learning tracking sheet, and will not transfer the sheet's data to others.
Chinese words separator does not read any data from user's Google sheets. Even on the sheet named Words, the definitions are just appended to that sheet, nothing is read
Chinese words separator will not use nor share the user's Google Sheet data for serving advertisements.

Privacy policy on user's question about the use of a word in a Chinese sentence/phrase:
We do not store, save, or log the phrases you highlight or the questions you ask. The text is never saved to any local database, cache, or external server controlled by Chinese words separator. The data exists within the extension's memory only for the duration of the "open tab" command and is not retained thereafter.
To provide the AI functionality of the app (generating AI-driven explanations of Chinese phrases), the app transmits the user-selected text and query directly to the URL of the following third-party services:
Google (Gemini/Google Search AI)
OpenAI (ChatGPT)
xAI (Grok)
How it works: When you trigger (via tapping the 🧩 icon or pressing the keyboard shortcut 'w') a question regarding the use of a word in a Chinese sentence/phrase, the extension passes your query into the URL of the selected service. From that point forward, the data is subject to the respective privacy policies of Google, OpenAI, or xAI.
You initiate every data transmission. No data is sent to these third parties automatically or in the background; it only occurs when you explicitly tap the icon or press the keyboard shortcut.
You may disable this data transmission at any time by toggling the "AI Assist" switch in the Extension Settings.
