Privacy Policy for V2EX Comment Viewpoint Distribution

V2EX Comment Viewpoint Distribution is a browser extension that analyzes comments on the current V2EX topic page and displays a visual summary of viewpoint distribution.

1. Data Processed The extension processes the content of the current V2EX topic page, including comment text and topic-related content that is necessary for analysis. The extension also stores user settings and provider configuration in browser storage, such as the selected LLM provider, API endpoint, model name, and related preferences. The extension may store temporary analysis cache to reduce repeated requests for the same topic.
2. How Data Is Used The processed data is used only to:

• analyze comments on the current V2EX topic page,
• classify and summarize the main viewpoints with a user-configured LLM provider,
• display the analysis result directly in the page,
• save user preferences required for the extension to function.

1. Third-Party Services The extension may send comment text and topic-related content to the LLM provider configured by the user for analysis. Because users can choose different third-party providers or custom API endpoints, the handling of submitted data may depend on the selected provider's own privacy, security, and retention policies. Users are responsible for reviewing the policies of the provider they configure.
2. Data Sharing The extension does not sell user data. The extension does not use or transfer user data for advertising, unrelated profiling, or any purpose unrelated to the extension's single purpose. Data is transmitted only as necessary to the user-configured LLM provider in order to perform the requested analysis.
3. Data Retention User settings and provider configuration remain in browser storage until changed or removed by the user. Temporary analysis cache, if used, is retained only as needed for the extension to function.
4. User Control Users can stop data processing by disabling or uninstalling the extension. Users can also clear extension settings and stored data through the browser's extension storage controls or by resetting the extension configuration.
5. Security The extension processes only the data needed for its stated functionality and is designed to limit access to V2EX topic pages and user-configured LLM API endpoints.
