Effective Date: June 2, 2026
Jade TeamWorks LLC ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our application, AcroLens, handles your information.
1. Data Collection and Usage
AcroLens is designed as a context-aware acronym explanation tool. We minimize data collection to what is necessary to explain selected acronyms and provide local app features.
1.1 Acronym Lookup Data
When you select an acronym and request an explanation:
- Selected Term: AcroLens processes the acronym or short text you selected.
- Limited Context: AcroLens may collect a short surrounding text window from readable page content to understand the meaning of the acronym in context.
- Ignored Content: AcroLens is designed to avoid collecting text from password fields, input fields, text areas, scripts, styles, and other non-readable page elements.
- Backend Processing: Lookup requests are sent through the AcroLens backend service so that model credentials remain on our servers and are not exposed to the Safari Web Extension.
AcroLens does not upload full page HTML for acronym lookup. The Safari Web Extension only forwards the limited fields needed for lookup, such as the selected term and surrounding context.
1.2 Local App Data
AcroLens stores some information locally on your device to support app features:
- Lookup history.
- Saved Terms.
- Acronym explanations, domains, and definitions.
- App settings and display preferences.
This local data is used to help you review previous lookups, save useful explanations, and keep the macOS app and Safari Web Extension in sync.
1.3 Personal Data
AcroLens does not require user login or registration for its core features. We do not intentionally collect personal data such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment information through the app.
2. Third-Party and Backend Services
AcroLens uses the AcroLens backend service to resolve acronyms with context. The backend may use AI model providers to generate acronym explanations.
- AcroLens Backend: Used to receive lookup requests, call model services, return structured explanations, apply rate limits, and support caching or reliability features.
- AI Model Providers: Used to generate contextual acronym explanations. Data sent to model providers is used for the purpose of producing the requested explanation.
We do not place model service credentials in JavaScript, browser storage, localStorage, App Group configuration files, or extension logs.
3. Data Storage
- Local Storage: Lookup history, Saved Terms, explanations, and settings are stored locally on your device.
- Shared App Storage: The macOS app and Safari Web Extension may use shared local storage to keep Saved Terms and lookup history available across AcroLens components.
- Backend Processing: Lookup text sent to the AcroLens backend is processed to provide an explanation. We do not use the Safari Web Extension to store your selected text or full browsing content in browser storage.
You may clear local history or saved information where the application provides those controls.
4. Browser Extension Privacy
The AcroLens Safari Web Extension is intended to be a lightweight interaction layer. It detects selected acronym-like text, collects only limited surrounding context, displays the explanation bubble, and routes requests through the native app bridge.
The extension does not:
- Store model service credentials.
- Directly call AI model APIs from JavaScript.
- Upload full page HTML for acronym lookup.
- Intentionally read password fields, input fields, text areas, scripts, or styles.
- Log selected text, surrounding context, credentials, or full model responses to the browser console.
5. Children's Privacy
AcroLens is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page or within the application.
