Privacy & Security Policy - Textalyz

Effective Date: June 03, 2025

Last Updated: June 04, 2025

1. Overview

Textalyz is an AI-powered tool available as both a Chrome Extension and a Slack App. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly.

We follow all applicable data handling and security standards, including:

We collect only the data we need to provide our core features — and nothing more.

 

2. What We Collect & Why

Authentication Tokens

  • Used to identify users, authenticate access to their Textalyz workspace, and track subscriptions or usage.
  • Stored securely (locally via Chrome, or server-side via encrypted storage).

 Tab Metadata (Chrome Extension only)

  • We use tabs and activeTab permissions to detect which tab is active and enable or disable the extension contextually.
  • This metadata is used transiently during your session and is not stored.

Slash Command Input (Slack only)

  • When you use the /send command in Slack, we process the message in real-time to provide grammar correction, rephrasing, formatting, or translation suggestions.
  • We do not store the message text or responses unless you explicitly save it to your Textalyz workspace.

🚫 We Do NOT Collect:

  • Your browsing history
  • AI-generated messages, summaries, or rewrites
  • Slack message history, channels, files, or conversations
  • Any personal or sensitive data, unless explicitly submitted by the user
  • Any text on websites, unless you manually select and invoke the extension

 

3. Chrome Extension Permissions

To provide core features, the Chrome Extension uses the following permissions:

Permission

Purpose

storage

Store the auth token securely on your device

tabs, activeTab

Enable the extension contextually based on active websites

host_permissions (https://*/*, http://*/*)

Allow Textalyz to run on any website where you might write content

These permissions do not allow access to your browsing history or personal activity.

 

4. Slack App Integration

We follow Slack’s Marketplace Security Guidelines and adhere to best practices:

  • Only access data submitted by the user through the /send command
  • Do not access messages, channels, files, or history outside of the command context
  • Auth tokens are encrypted and stored securely
  • No user content is stored unless explicitly saved to your Textalyz workspace
  • Users can revoke access at any time through Slack settings

All data is processed in real-time and discarded unless needed for essential workspace features (like usage tracking or subscriptions).

 

5. Third-Party Services

  • We use Paddle for payment processing on paid plans. Billing data is handled securely via Paddle and not stored on our servers. (Paddle’s Privacy Policy)
  • We do not currently use analytics or monitoring tools like Google Analytics or Sentry.
  • If future third-party services (e.g., error monitoring or usage analytics) are added, this policy will be updated accordingly.

 

6. Data Security

  • All interactions with Textalyz (Chrome or Slack) are encrypted via HTTPS
  • Tokens are encrypted both in transit and at rest
  • No personal user content or text is stored without user consent
  • Workspace-level data (e.g., plan status, usage limits) is kept minimal and secured.

 

7. Your Rights & Controls

You have full control over your data:

  • Revoke Chrome Extension permissions via chrome://extensions
  • Revoke Slack access via Slack’s “Apps” tab
  • Request deletion of your account, token, or workspace data at any time by emailing us at dev@studiodevhub.com

 

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our platform evolves. Any significant changes will be communicated via product updates or email (if you’ve registered)..
