Influenbase Privacy Policy
Last updated: 6 November 2025
Effective date: 6 November 2025
IMPORTANT
This policy applies to:
• Distribution and operation of our Chrome extension (“the Extension”) in the Chrome Web Store;
• Gmail-API-related features integrated in the Extension (e.g., sending emails on your behalf, draft sync).
By installing, enabling, or otherwise using the Extension you confirm that you have read and agree to all terms below. If you do not agree, uninstall and disable the Extension immediately.
Information We Collect
1. Chrome-Extension scenario
• Product data: you may paste product links or manually enter product names/descriptions for creator search.
• Creator filters: country/region, follower range, engagement rate, GMV, etc., used by the matching algorithm.
Email credentials:
• – Non-Gmail: account username and password (or SMTP auth code);
  – Gmail: only an OAuth2 access token; passwords are never stored (see “Gmail-API scenario”).
• TikTok DM content: the Extension reads the latest incoming message text only after you turn on “Auto-reply”, solely to trigger keyword-based replies.
2. Gmail-API scenario (triggered only after you actively link Gmail)
• OAuth scopes: gmail.readonly, gmail.modify, gmail.compose, gmail.labels.
• Data types: message metadata (from, to, subject, timestamp, labels), body/attachments (fetched temporarily only when you open a message), your Google account email address, public nickname and avatar.
• Data-minimisation: the Extension never requests Google-service data unrelated to the above (e.g., Contacts, Calendar, Drive, Location).
How We Use Information
1. Core Extension functions
• Generate creator shortlists based on products and filters;
• AI-generated pitch copy (calls third-party LLM APIs with de-identified content);
• Send emails or TikTok DMs on your behalf and trigger auto-replies under your keyword rules;
• Store GMV, engagement rate, etc. in anonymised form to improve matching algorithms.
2. Gmail-API-only functions
• Display your Gmail inbox in the built-in “Mail view”;
• Save drafts or one-click-send messages according to your campaign tasks;
• Auto-label or archive messages per your rules for easier tracking.
We commit to:
• Never use Gmail data to train general-purpose AI or for ad targeting;
• Never analyse or store message content beyond Extension functionality.
Data Storage & Retention
Data category Storage location Encryption Retention Expiry action
Product/creator keywords Local IndexedDB AES-256 During session, max 30 days Auto-deleted
Non-Gmail credentials Local Chrome Storage AES-256 + OS keystore Until you delete or uninstall Wiped instantly
Gmail access token Local Chrome Storage AES-256 + OS keystore Until you revoke Auto-cleared
Email metadata Local encrypted cache AES-256-GCM 30 days Auto-deleted
Email body/attachments Stream-only, not written to disk by default; if “offline reading” on, local encrypted cache AES-256-GCM 7 days Auto-deleted
TikTok DM content In-memory variable n/a Destroyed when session ends Instant destruction
Note: any cloud backup contains only encrypted binary blobs; keys are held by the cloud provider’s KMS—we cannot technically read plaintext.
Sharing, Transfer & Public Disclosure
• The Extension never sells, shares or provides personal data to any third party.
• AI-copy API calls are de-identified (product brands, emails, URLs replaced); vendors cannot identify you.
• If data must be transferred due to merger, acquisition or asset sale, we will notify you in advance and obtain explicit consent again.
• We may disclose data without prior consent when required by law, litigation, arbitration or competent authorities, but will strictly follow statutory procedures.
Security Measures
• Transmission: all network requests use TLS 1.3 + certificate pinning.
• Storage: local data encrypted with OS-level keystores (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore / Windows DPAPI / macOS Keychain).
• Access control: internal ops follow “least privilege + MFA + VPN bastion host”.
• Auditing: database & backend audit logs kept ≥12 months; third-party penetration test at least annually.
• Incident response: notify regulators and affected users within 72 h and provide mitigation.
Your Rights & How to Withdraw
1. Access & correction
Settings page offers “View saved data”; you may edit or correct at any time.
2. Deletion & account closure
• Tap “Clear all local data” to erase cache instantly.
• Uninstalling the Extension triggers Chrome Storage wipe—irrecoverable.
• Email privacy@yourcompany.com; we complete deletion and confirm within 24 h.
3. Revoking Gmail authorisation (three equivalent ways)
a) Extension → “Account Management – Revoke Gmail auth”;
b) Google Account permissions page (https://myaccount.google.com/permissions) remove [Product Name];
c) Email request (see above).
4. Complaints
If you believe we violate Chrome Web Store or Gmail API User Data Policy, contact:
• Us: privacy@yourcompany.com
• Google: Chrome Web Store report or Gmail API complaint channel
• Your local data-protection authority.
Children’s Information
The Extension is not directed to children under 13. If you are a child, use it only with guardian guidance. If we discover data of a child under 13, we will delete it upon notice.
Policy Changes
We may update this policy when features expand, regulations change, or Google policies update. Material changes will be notified via in-extension pop-ups or prominent notices, and we will re-request explicit consent for Gmail-API data access. The updated policy takes effect when published; continued use constitutes acceptance.
