Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 17, 2026

Overview

Parseli is a Chrome extension and web application that generates quiz questions from your ChatGPT and Claude conversations. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

Waitlist

If you join our educator waitlist, we collect:

• Your email address
• Optional survey responses (such as what you teach and your challenges with quizzes)

We use this information solely to contact you about Parseli updates and launch announcements. We do not sell or share this data with third parties. Waitlist data is collected through Tally, a privacy-focused form provider.

Free Tier - Local Storage Only

If you use Parseli without creating an account, all data stays on your device:

• Quiz questions generated from your conversations
• Your quiz progress and scores
• Quiz history for review

No data is transmitted to external servers. Everything is stored locally using Chrome's built-in storage API.

Premium Tier - Cloud Storage

If you create an account and subscribe to Parseli Premium, we store additional data to enable cloud sync and premium features:

• Your email address (for account identification)
• Authentication tokens (to keep you logged in)
• Your subscription status
• Quiz data synced to the cloud (questions, progress, scores)

This data is stored securely using Appwrite, a privacy-focused backend platform.

Educator Tier - Student Privacy (Coming Soon)

The Educator tier is designed with student privacy as a core principle. Here's how we handle data:

• No student accounts: Students access quizzes via short codes—no sign-up required
• No student PII collected: We do not collect student names, emails, or any personally identifiable information
• Anonymous analytics: Quiz results are associated with anonymous codes (like "7X3K"), not student identities
• Educator-controlled mapping: If educators want to track individual students, they maintain their own code-to-name mapping outside of Parseli
• Local-only name resolution: If an educator uploads a mapping file to view names in their dashboard, it is processed entirely on their device and never sent to our servers

Because Parseli does not collect or store student personally identifiable information, many typical FERPA and COPPA compliance concerns do not apply. Full privacy details for the Educator tier will be published upon launch.

Payment Processing

Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, our Merchant of Record. We do not store your credit card information. Lemon Squeezy handles all payment data in compliance with PCI-DSS standards.

What We Don't Do

• We do not sell or share your data with third parties
• We do not track your browsing activity
• We do not read your AI conversations (we only detect quiz markers you explicitly generate)
• We do not use your data for advertising
• We do not collect student personally identifiable information

Data Retention

• Waitlist: Email and survey responses retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• Free tier: Data stored locally until you clear your browser data
• Premium tier: Cloud data retained while your subscription is active
• After cancellation: Cloud data preserved for 30 days, then available for deletion upon request

Data Deletion

You can delete your data at any time:

• Waitlist: Contact us at [email protected] to be removed from the waitlist
• Local data: Clear through Chrome's extension storage or uninstall the extension
• Cloud data: Contact us at [email protected] to request account and data deletion

Third-Party Services

Parseli uses the following third-party services:

• Appwrite: Secure cloud database and authentication
• Lemon Squeezy: Payment processing
• Sentry: Error monitoring to improve the extension (no personal data collected)
• Tally: Waitlist form collection
