Privacy Built Into Every Layer

Your AI conversations are valuable intellectual assets. Toffee is designed to protect them through local-first processing, enterprise-grade encryption, transparent data practices, and user-controlled privacy.

Privacy by Design Local-First E2E Encryption Zero-Knowledge GDPR & CCPA Ready

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Toffee collects, processes, stores, protects, and manages user information. We are deeply committed to transparency, user ownership, and compliance with global privacy regulations. This policy covers all Toffee products including the Browser Extension, Web Dashboard, Cloud Services, APIs, and future mobile applications.

2. Privacy Principles

Our core philosophy dictates that you own your AI data.

  • Local-First ProcessingData stays on your device by default.
  • Minimal Data CollectionWe only collect what is necessary to operate.
  • Explicit ConsentFeatures requiring cloud access are strictly opt-in.
  • No Selling DataWe never sell your personal or conversational data.

3. Information We Collect

Account Information

Name, email address, profile photo (if authenticated via OAuth), organization, and subscription tier.

Technical Information

Browser type, device OS, extension version, anonymized IP for security, and crash logs.

Usage Information

Feature usage, settings, storage usage, token analytics, and general performance metrics.

Billing Information

Subscription status, invoices, payment references, and billing history (processed securely via Stripe).

4. Local Data

The following remains strictly on your device unless you explicitly opt into Cloud Sync:

  • • Raw AI conversations
  • • `.toffee` bundles
  • • IndexedDB storage
  • • Local cache & offline library

Local processing is always our default.

5. Cloud Data

The following data interacts with our secure cloud servers:

  • • Account metadata
  • • Synced bundles (End-to-End Encrypted)
  • • Shared links
  • • Subscription information

6. AI Conversation Processing

Our processing pipeline includes capture, semantic compression, entity extraction, token optimization, and bundle generation.

Important: Raw conversations never leave your device unless you specifically utilize a server-side compression API endpoint. Even then, processing is temporary, and raw transcripts are immediately discarded from memory after the `.toffee` bundle is generated.

7. Data Storage & 8. Encryption

Local data is stored in your browser's IndexedDB. Cloud data is stored securely in PostgreSQL and AWS S3 with strict data residency controls.

All data in transit is protected using TLS 1.3. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256-GCM. For users with Cloud Sync enabled, we employ End-to-End Encryption with secure key management, meaning even Toffee engineers cannot read your synced conversations.

9. Local-Only Mode & 10. Cloud Sync

Local-Only Modeis one of Toffee's strongest differentiators. It requires no account, executes no cloud uploads, and provides complete privacy.

Cloud Sync is strictly an optional feature. It requires explicit user consent to synchronize `.toffee` bundles across multiple devices securely.

11. Analytics & 12. Cookies

We distinguish between product analytics (performance, crash reports) and security analytics (abuse detection). We allow users to opt-out of product analytics directly from their dashboard.

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We do not use third-party tracking cookies for targeted advertising.

13. Third-Party Services & 14. Authentication Providers

Toffee utilizes trusted third-party providers:

  • Google & GitHub OAuth: For secure authentication (accessing only basic profile info like email and name).
  • AWS: For cloud infrastructure.
  • Stripe: For secure payment processing.

16. User Rights, GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Under GDPR and CCPA, you have the right to access, correct, export, restrict, or permanently delete your data. You may withdraw consent at any time. Non-discrimination rules apply, meaning you will not be penalized for exercising your privacy rights.

19. Data Deletion & 20. Portability

You can instantly delete local data via the extension settings. Account deletion will permanently purge your data from our cloud servers within 30 days (including backups).

Toffee embraces data portability. You can export your entire library as a ZIP archive of `.toffee` files or raw JSON at any time.

Security Measures & Contact

Our architecture employs Zero Trust principles, rate limiting, continuous monitoring, and secure development lifecycles.
