Bar Chart GeneratorPrivacy Policy
Last updated: November 7, 2026
This policy explains what happens to your data when you use the Bar Chart Generator Chrome extension and the website bar-chart-generator.com. “We” means the developer of Bar Chart Generator. You can contact us at support@bar-chart-generator.com.
Data we process
In your browser
The extension stores your recent charts, your progress through the tips, a random installation ID and, if you provide it, your email address in your browser. Removing the extension deletes them from your browser.
When you use an AI feature
Our server receives:
- the text, table, image or screen area you provide;
- your request, the recent part of your conversation with the AI and the data of the current chart.
The extension reads your selection or captures your screen only after you click its icon or menu item. Please don’t send confidential information or anything else you don’t want to share.
Technical and usage data
We process your installation ID, extension version, interface language, time zone, browser and operating system details, the dates of first use, last use and removal, the number of AI requests, and whether you undo an AI answer. Our server also processes your IP address, including to apply usage limits and prevent abuse.
When you contact us
“Contact us” and the optional survey shown after you remove the extension send us your message, your email address if you give one, your installation ID, interface language and extension version.
How we use your data
- to provide the extension, including building and editing charts at your request;
- to apply usage limits and prevent abuse;
- to reply when you contact us;
- to improve the extension, including by reviewing stored AI requests and answers;
- to measure how the extension is used.
We don’t sell your data or use it for advertising.
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on the need to provide the service you ask for, our legitimate interests in preventing abuse and improving the extension, and our legal obligations.
Who receives your data
- AI service providers and intermediaries: the content of AI requests, including images. They route requests and generate answers.
- Hosting provider: everything our server stores.
- Email provider: “Contact us” messages and survey answers, with your email address if you give one.
We may change these providers. They handle data under their own terms.
We may also disclose data if the law requires it, to protect against fraud or abuse, or, with your consent, as part of a sale or merger of the project.
Where your data is processed
Our server is in Finland. Our AI and email providers may process data in other countries, including outside the EU, whose data protection laws may differ from those of your country.
How long we keep it
We keep data only as long as we need it for the purposes above. AI requests and answers, with their content, and messages are kept for up to 90 days. Usage and IP address counters are kept for up to 7 days. Installation records are kept as long as we need them to run and measure the service, including after the extension is removed. Email correspondence and backups may be kept longer.
Your rights
AI features and giving your email address are optional. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete your data, or to object to or restrict its use. To make a request, use “Contact us” on the extension’s Account screen, so we can find your records by your installation ID. We handle requests as required by applicable law. In the EEA and the UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority.
Security
We use measures such as HTTPS to protect your data, but no system is perfectly secure.
Minimum age
The extension is intended for adults aged 18 and over. It isn’t directed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you think someone under 18 has sent us personal information, write to us and we will delete it.
Chrome Web Store
Our use of data received through Chrome extension APIs follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. We publish changes on this page and update the date at the top.
