Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 04/11/2024 When you use Summarizz, you trust us to handle your personal data responsibly, and we take this trust very seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. Summarizz provides this policy to outline our practices regarding data privacy when you use our products, including our browser extension and website. By using Summarizz, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at contact@summarizz.com.
How Summarizz Makes Money
Summarizz operates on a straightforward business model. We offer both free and paid products, generating revenue solely from subscriptions to our paid plans. Unlike other companies, we do not and will never sell your data. Your privacy and trust are integral to our business.
Types of Personal Data We Collect
When you create an account on Summarizz, we collect basic information, such as your email address, password, and any preferences you set. If you choose to sign up via a third-party service like Google or Apple, we only collect the information you authorize those services to share with us. For paid accounts, Summarizz works with a trusted third-party payment processor, currently Stripe, to handle payment transactions. We do not store or process payment card information directly. To improve your experience with Summarizz, we also collect technical data, which may include your IP address, browser type, and device information. This helps us troubleshoot issues and optimize our products for different devices and platforms. When you use our service to generate summaries, we process the text you select solely to deliver the summary feature. Summarizz does not store any of the content you upload after processing. Additionally, we collect anonymous usage data to refine and improve our services over time.
How We Use Your Personal Data
Summarizz uses your personal data to deliver a high-quality, personalized experience. For instance, we process selected text to provide you with the requested summaries, which helps you access information more efficiently. We may also use your information to communicate with you, respond to support inquiries, and send updates about our products and services. You can unsubscribe from promotional communications at any time. We are committed to maintaining and improving the quality of Summarizz, and part of this involves using usage data to enhance our features and make Summarizz smarter and more responsive. Additionally, when required by law or necessary to protect Summarizz and our users from fraud, abuse, or illegal activities, we may use your data to fulfill these legal obligations.
How We Protect and Store Your Data
We take significant steps to secure your data. Our protection measures include secure network configurations, data encryption, and adherence to industry best practices to prevent unauthorized access. Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to deliver our services to you, fulfill transactions, comply with legal obligations, and address any disputes that may arise. Your data protection is a priority, and we design our policies and systems to uphold this commitment. User content processed for summaries is not stored after processing, ensuring that your information remains private and secure.
Disclosure of Personal Data
In limited circumstances, Summarizz may disclose personal data to third parties. We work with trusted service providers, such as Stripe, to handle payments and other essential functions. These third parties must comply with our stringent data privacy and security requirements. If required by law, Summarizz may disclose information to legal and regulatory authorities to comply with legal processes and protect against fraud or harm. We may also share your information with your consent or as directed by you.

Summarizz respects your rights under applicable privacy laws, such as the GDPR and CCPA. You have the right to request access to, correction, or deletion of your personal data. If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us at contact@summarizz.com. We may verify your identity before processing your request and will respond in compliance with applicable legal requirements.
