1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Language Converter ("we," "our," or "the extension") handles information when you use our browser extension. Language Converter is designed to convert text between English and Arabic keyboard layouts while maintaining complete privacy and data security.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Language Converter is built with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, or transmit:

• Personal Information: Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any identifying information
• Browsing History: Websites you visit or your browsing patterns
• User Content: Text content from websites or personal communications
• Authentication Data: Passwords, credentials, or login information
• Location Data: Geographic location or IP address information
• Financial Information: Payment details, credit card numbers, or financial data
• Health Information: Medical records or health-related data
• Analytics Data: Usage statistics, crash reports, or behavioral analytics

3. How the Extension Works

3.1 Text Processing

When you use Language Converter to convert text:

• Text is processed locally on your device only
• Conversion happens instantly using offline character mapping
• No text is transmitted to external servers or services
• Converted text replaces the original text in place
• No copies or logs of your text are maintained

3.2 User Preferences

The extension stores minimal settings locally in your browser:

• Custom keyboard shortcuts you configure
• Notification preferences (enabled/disabled)
• Extension enabled/disabled state

This data is stored using Chrome's secure storage API and never leaves your device.

4. Permissions Explained

Language Converter requests specific permissions to function properly. Here's why each permission is necessary:

4.1 Active Tab Permission

Purpose: Access and modify selected text on the current webpage when you trigger conversion.

Scope: Only accesses text you explicitly select for conversion.

Data Handling: Text is processed locally and immediately replaced.

4.2 Storage Permission

Purpose: Save your preferences (shortcuts, notifications) locally.

Scope: Only stores user settings, never personal content.

Data Handling: Settings remain on your device and sync with your Chrome profile.

4.3 Context Menus Permission

Purpose: Provide right-click conversion options as an alternative to keyboard shortcuts.

Scope: Adds menu items to browser context menus.

Data Handling: No data collection, only provides user interface functionality.

4.4 Host Permissions

Purpose: Inject scripts to detect keyboard shortcuts across all websites.

Scope: Enables functionality on any website where you need text conversion.

Data Handling: No data extraction, only provides conversion functionality.

5. Data Security

Since Language Converter operates entirely locally, your data security is inherently protected:

• No Data Transmission: All processing happens on your device
• No External Dependencies: No third-party services or APIs
• No Data Storage: Text content is not saved or logged
• Secure Local Storage: User preferences use Chrome's encrypted storage
• No Network Communication: Extension works completely offline
