Privacy Policy
SEOVault AI Chrome Extension
Last Updated: February 2026
At SEOVault AI, we take your privacy and the security of your WordPress content seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how the SEOVault AI Chrome Extension and the SEOVault website collect, use, and protect your information.
1. What Data We Access and Why
SEOVault AI is designed to assist WordPress authors with SEO analysis, content optimization, internal linking, and writing support — without installing a WordPress plugin.
WordPress Content
When you use the extension, we access content inside your Gutenberg editor, including:
- Draft text
- Headings
- Titles
- Metadata
- User-selected text
This access is used only to provide SEO analysis, diagnostics, AI-assisted features, and internal link suggestions.
No Permanent Storage of Drafts
Your WordPress drafts are processed in real time.
- We do not permanently store full article drafts
- We do not archive or reuse your content
- We do not publish or share your drafts
Temporary processing may occur solely to return requested results.
2. AI Processing & Data Handling
SEOVault AI uses third-party AI and search APIs to power analysis, diagnostics, and content generation features.
When you use AI-powered features:
- Portions of your content, selected text, or focus keywords may be sent to external APIs (such as Gemini, OpenAI, Perplexity, Mistral, etc, or any used LLM) only to generate results
- Data is processed on demand and is not used to train our own models
- We do not sell, reuse, or distribute your content
You remain the owner of all content at all times.
3. Third-Party Services and APIs
To deliver SEO insights and AI functionality, SEOVault AI integrates with the following third-party services:
AI & Analysis Providers
AI & Research Providers: “To deliver high-precision SEO analysis and content generation, SEOVault AI utilizes an orchestration of industry-leading Large Language Models (LLMs) and real-time search APIs. This system dynamically selects the most capable processing engine for each specific task (such as SERP analysis or content drafting).
All data transmitted to these third-party providers is processed in real-time, is not used to train the underlying models, and is protected by enterprise-grade confidentiality agreements.
Pro Tip for Data Safety: While our enterprise-grade API configurations ensure your data is not used for training, as a general best practice for all AI-powered tools, we recommend that you do not include highly sensitive personal information (such as passwords, financial records, or private identification numbers) within your WordPress drafts when utilizing AI analysis features.
Authentication
- Google Authentication – used to securely manage user accounts and subscriptions
We only access basic profile information (such as email address) to identify your account.
4. Payments & Billing
SEOVault AI uses Paddle.com as its payment processor and Merchant of Record.
When you make a purchase:
- Paddle processes billing details, payment method, tax location, and transaction records
- SEOVault AI does not store your full payment information
Paddle’s handling of personal data is governed by its own privacy policy.
5. Extension Permissions Explained
The SEOVault AI Chrome Extension requests the following permissions, strictly for functionality:
- storage – to save user preferences and configuration locally
- tabs / activeTab – to detect when you are on a WordPress admin page
- scripting – to enable communication between the extension side panel and the Gutenberg editor
- host_permissions – to allow the extension to function on your WordPress installation domains
Screenshot Handling: The extension includes a screenshot utility. Images captured via this tool are processed locally via your system clipboard and are not uploaded to or stored on our servers.
SEO Snippets (Local Storage): Your productivity is personal. User-selected text saved to ‘SEO Snippets’ is stored locally within your browser. This data never leaves your machine and is not transmitted to our servers or any third-party databases. This architecture ensures that your research, notes, and content ideas remain entirely under your control and 100% private.
No permissions are used for tracking unrelated browsing activity:
We do not collect or store your general web browsing history; the extension checks tabs only to detect WordPress admin/editor pages and operate the side panel.
6. Data Protection & Disclosure
- No Sale of Data: We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data or WordPress content
- Security: Data transmitted between your browser and our API partners is encrypted using SSL/TLS
- Limited Access: Only essential systems and services access data required to operate features you explicitly use
Limited Use Disclosure
Our use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Service User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google user data to serve advertisements or for any purpose other than providing the core functionality of SEOVault AI.
7. Your Rights and Control
You are always in control of your data.
- You may stop all data access by uninstalling the extension
- You may clear locally stored preferences via your browser settings
- If applicable, you may request access to or deletion of account-related data, subject to legal obligations
