Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 19, 2025

Welcome to Fous ("Fous," "we," "us," or "our"). Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how Fous collects, uses, discloses, stores, and safeguards information when you use our browser extension and website.

1. Introduction

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through your use of the Service, your interactions with us (e.g., email and support requests), and any other means described herein. It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or applications that we do not control, even if they are linked to or integrated with our Service.

Relationship to Terms & Conditions

This Privacy Policy is a part of our Terms & Conditions ("Terms"). In the event of a conflict between the Terms and this Privacy Policy, the Privacy Policy will govern with respect to privacy and data protection matters.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information about you in several ways, including when you provide it to us directly, automatically through the Service, or from third parties. We are committed to collecting only the information that is necessary for providing, maintaining, and improving our Service.

2.1 Personal Information You Provide

Account Registration: When you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, password, avatar image, and any other information you choose to include in your profile.
Payment Information: If you subscribe to a paid plan or make purchases, our third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe) collect billing information, including your credit card number, billing address, and other payment-related information. We do not store or process your payment card details directly; they are processed securely by our payment provider.
Communications: When you contact us for support, provide feedback, or otherwise communicate with us, we collect the information you share, such as your name, contact information, and the contents of your message.

2.2 Usage Information Collected Automatically

Device and Log Data: We automatically collect information about your device and usage of the Service. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referral URLs, access times, pages viewed, and search terms.
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your interactions with the Service, such as pages visited, links clicked, and features used.
Performance and Diagnostic Data: We may collect crash reports, error logs, and usage analytics to help us improve the reliability and performance of the Service.

2.3 Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third parties that assist us in providing the Service, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, or payment processors. We handle this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Our third-party service providers are bound by contracts to use your data only as necessary to perform their services for us and to protect it appropriately. We are not responsible for their actions beyond our reasonable control, such as a breach caused by their negligence, unless it results from our failure to enforce these obligations.

3. Legal Bases for Processing (For Users in the EEA/UK)

If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or the United Kingdom ("UK"), we only process your personal data when we have a valid legal basis, including:

Consent: Where you have provided consent to process your information for a specific purpose.
Contract: Where processing is necessary to perform our contractual obligations to you, including providing the Service you have requested.
Legitimate Interests: Where processing is in our legitimate interests (e.g., improving our products, marketing our services, securing our operations) and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

For users in other regions, such as Canada, Australia, or the United States, we will comply with applicable local privacy laws to the extent they apply to our processing of your data.
