Privacy Policy for Zaya - (Chrome Extension)

Effective Date: 05/25/2025

Zaya - URL Shortening Platform (“we”, “our”, or “us”) provides this Chrome Extension (the “Extension”) to allow users to interact with their Zaya account directly from their browser. This Privacy Policy explains how the Extension handles user information and complies with Google Chrome Web Store User Data Policies.

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII), browsing activity, or any other user data through this Extension. The Extension operates locally in the browser and does not track or profile user behavior.

2. Data Transmission

The only communication the Extension performs is between the user's browser and the official Zaya API for the sole purpose of shortening links or retrieving account information.

• Data is transmitted exclusively to our own servers.
• All transmissions are securely encrypted using HTTPS (TLS).
• No data is sent to any third-party service or external provider.

3. Authentication

Users connect their Zaya account to the Extension using their personal API key, which is:

• Entered manually by the user inside the Extension interface.
• Stored locally in the browser (via local storage or similar method).
• Never transmitted to or shared with any third party.

Authentication is handled entirely within the Extension, without third-party involvement.

4. Permissions and Usage

The Extension requests the following Chrome permissions to function, each with a narrowly defined purpose:

We do not request any broad host permissions (e.g., "*://*/*") and we do not access any websites or user data beyond what is explicitly required for functionality.

5. Analytics and Tracking

We do not use:

• Analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics)
• Crash/error reporting
• Usage statistics
• Tracking pixels or scripts

Your activity within the Extension is completely private and never monitored or shared.

6. Data Retention

The Extension does not store any user data beyond what is locally saved in the browser for authentication. No data is stored on our servers through the Extension beyond what is necessary for normal Zaya API interactions.

Users may remove their API key at any time via the Extension’s settings, which will immediately delete the stored key.
