Echo Chamber Chrome Extension Privacy Policy
The Echo Chamber Chrome extension handles the following personal or potentially personal information:
-
When you sign-in using Google authentication, the e-mail address and name associated with your Google
account are recorded and become privately associated with your Echo Chamber user account.
-
Your e-mail is not visible to other users. You will be prompted to set your username as soon as you sign in, and the
name attached to your Google account will be suggested as a default value, which you're encouraged to change.
-
Links you thumb-up using the extension that are new to Echo Chamber appear as posted under your
Echo Chamber username.
-
The extension sends an MD5 hash of every link you visit to our server to retrieve your potential vote
on the link for display in the extension button and popup. The hash cannot be converted back to the
link URL, and so we do not transmit nor record a history of the links you visit on our server.
-
The actual URL of the link you're viewing is sent to our server if you click the thumbs-up or
thumbs-down button in the extension popup, and your vote is recorded to help generate link suggestions
and notify your friends.
