1. What We Collect

When you use Briefly during a Google Meet call, the extension captures the following:

• Meeting transcript text — the live captions displayed on your screen during the call
• Summary output — the AI-generated notes, action items, and follow-up email stored temporarily in your browser's local storage

We do not collect:

• Audio or video recordings
• Your name, email address, or any personal identifiers
• Your Google account information
• Browsing history or activity outside of meet.google.com
• Any data when you are not in an active Google Meet call

2. How We Use Your Data

The meeting transcript is sent to our secure backend server hosted on AWS (ap-south-1 region) solely for the purpose of generating an AI-powered summary using the OpenAI API.

The transcript is used to:

• Identify the type of conversation (client call, standup, brainstorm, etc.)
• Generate meeting notes, action items, follow-up email, and Jira ticket suggestions

3. Where Your Data Goes

Your transcript is processed through the following services:

• Our AWS Lambda backend (ap-south-1, Mumbai) — receives the transcript over HTTPS, calls the AI model, and returns the summary
• OpenAI API — used to generate the meeting summary. OpenAI's data usage policy applies to content sent via their API. See OpenAI Privacy Policy

Your data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections at all times. No third party other than OpenAI receives your transcript data.

4. We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data or meeting transcripts with any third parties for marketing, advertising, or any commercial purpose. Ever.

5. Data Storage & Retention

• On our servers: Raw transcripts are not stored. They are processed in memory and immediately discarded after the summary is generated.
• In your browser: The generated summary is saved in Chrome's local storage on your device so it remains accessible in the popup. This data never leaves your browser unless you explicitly copy it.

6. How to Delete Your Data

To remove all data Briefly has stored on your device:

• Go to chrome://extensions
• Find Briefly — AI Meeting Notes
• Click Remove — this clears all local storage instantly

Since we do not store transcripts on our servers, there is nothing to delete server-side.

7. Permissions We Request

Briefly requests the following Chrome permissions and here is exactly why:

• activeTab — to read caption text from the Google Meet page you are currently on
• storage — to save the generated summary in your browser so it persists in the popup after the meeting ends
• scripting — to inject the caption observer into the Meet page
• meet.google.com — Briefly only activates on this domain. It does not run on any other website.

8. Children's Privacy

Briefly is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
