Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how Orator ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our browser extension or visit our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience using our services.

At Orator, privacy is not just a policy. It's our core mission. Our AI assistant is designed to process all data locally on your device, ensuring your information never leaves your computer.

We are committed to minimal data collection:

• Email Addresses: If you join our waitlist or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect only your email address.
• No Personal Data: Our AI assistant processes all data locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or have access to any of your queries, browsing history, or any content you interact with.
• No Usage Data: We do not track how you use our extension or what websites you visit.
• Cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous statistical data about website usage. You can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie banner.

We use cookies on our website solely for the purpose of analytics through Google Analytics, as well as to store your cookie consent preferences. Here's how we handle cookies:

• Google Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous data about how visitors use our website, such as the number of visitors, the pages they visit, and the time spent on the site. This helps us improve the user experience.
• Consent Cookie (orator_cookie_consent): This cookie stores your preference regarding the use of analytics cookies. When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline the use of analytics cookies. If you accept the use of analytics cookies, we store your preference in the "orator_cookie_consent" cookie, which prevents the cookie banner from appearing again on future visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies or revisiting the banner.
• No Tracking: We do not use cookies for tracking or profiling purposes. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify individual users.
• No Third-Party Cookies: We do not allow third-party cookies on our website.

We use your email address solely for:

• Sending product updates and announcements
• Notifying you when the product is available
• Communicating important changes to our services or policies

We use Mailerlist as our email service provider to send these communications. Your email address is stored securely in their system, and we do not share your email with any other third parties.

Our core privacy feature is local processing:

• All AI processing happens directly on your device
• Your data never leaves your computer
• No cloud servers are involved in processing your data
• No data is transmitted to us or any third parties

This approach ensures complete privacy and confidentiality for all your interactions with our AI assistant.

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your email address from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Secure storage with our email provider (Mailerlist)
• Limited access to personal information by our team
• Regular security assessments

Since we don't collect any other personal data, there is minimal risk to your privacy.

Under privacy regulations like GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California), you have certain rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: You can request access to the personal information we hold about you (your email address).
• Deletion: You can ask us to delete your email address from our mailing list at any time.
• Opt-out: Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link to easily opt out.
• No Sale of Data: We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in the "Contact Us" section.

Our Privacy Policy complies with:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
• California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
• Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA)
• Colorado Privacy Act (CPA)
• Other applicable privacy laws and regulations

We monitor changes in privacy regulations and update our practices accordingly.

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete such information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by:

• Posting the updated policy on our website
• Sending an email to the address you provided

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our privacy practices.
