Key Improvements Before Resubmitting 1. Make the Scope Clear At the top, explicitly state that the policy applies to your Chrome extension and include its exact name. Example: This privacy policy applies to the "Examripper Apex Learning Hack, Auto Typer, EdPuzzle and more" Chrome extension (“the Extension”).

2. Clarify Third-Party Processing (OpenAI / Anthropic)

Right now you mention sending data to OpenAI or Anthropic, but they’re not in your Sharing of Your Information section.

• Add them explicitly in Sharing along with a short description of why you send data to them.

• Google reviewers don’t like “hidden” third-party processors.

3. Add an Explicit “No Sale” Statement

Even if you don’t sell user data, state it clearly:

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties.

4. Clarify Cross-Border Data Transfers

Right now you say “no cross-border transfers,” but if OpenAI/Anthropic or Discord store data in the US, that counts as cross-border if you have international users.
Better wording:

Some of our third-party service providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Discord, Stripe) may process data on servers located in other countries. We ensure that such transfers comply with all applicable data protection laws.

5. Link Placement

Make sure your updated privacy policy is:

• Linked in your Chrome Web Store dashboard under “Privacy Policy URL”

• Also referenced in manifest.json under "privacy_policy" (URL)

If you want, I can rewrite your version so it’s fully Google-compliant and reviewer-friendly — that way you fix both the privacy policy and the “Purple Nickel” rejection in one shot.

Do you want me to give you that final polished privacy policy text now? That would also make sure OpenAI/Anthropic are clearly listed so there’s no risk.
