Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 12, 2026

1. Introduction

SALEscalate.ai ("SALEscalate.ai", "we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, access, use, process, store, disclose, and protect information when you use the SALEscalate.ai website, platform, Chrome Extension, speech-to-text features, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

The SALEscalate.ai Chrome Extension is designed to provide speech-to-text, transcription, and related productivity features. We only access and process information that is reasonably necessary to provide the features disclosed to you.

By using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect and Process

The information we collect or process depends on how you use the Service and which features you enable.

2.1 Account and Personal Information

When you create or manage an account, we may collect:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Account identifiers

  • Subscription and billing status

  • Communications you send to us, including customer support requests

Payment card information is processed by our payment service provider, Stripe. We do not directly store complete payment card details on our systems.

2.2 Device, Technical, and Usage Information

We may collect limited technical and usage information necessary to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service, including:

  • Device type

  • Operating system

  • Browser type and version

  • Chrome Extension version

  • Application version

  • Feature usage

  • Session information

  • Error and crash logs

  • Diagnostic information

  • Security-related events

We use this information only for operating, maintaining, securing, troubleshooting, and improving the reliability and performance of the Service and its disclosed functionality.

2.3 Chrome Extension Data

When you use the SALEscalate.ai Chrome Extension, the Extension may access or process certain information only where necessary to provide a feature that you have activated.

Depending on the feature being used, this may include:

  • Page information: such as the URL, domain name, or page title of the webpage on which the Extension is activated.

  • Website content: text or other webpage content required to provide a requested Extension feature.

  • User-provided content: text, instructions, selections, or other information that you intentionally provide to the Extension.

  • Authentication information: account identifiers, authentication tokens, or session information required to sign you in and securely connect the Extension to your SALEscalate.ai account.

  • Transcription data: text generated through the speech-to-text or transcription functionality.

  • Technical information: Extension version, feature interactions, errors, and diagnostic information.

The Chrome Extension does not access webpage content, browsing information, or other browser data for advertising, user profiling, data brokerage, creditworthiness, or unrelated purposes.

We do not sell browsing activity, website content, authentication information, personal communications, or other Chrome Extension user data.

2.4 Audio and Speech Data

SALEscalate.ai provides real-time speech-to-text functionality.

We do not use audio data for advertising, behavioral profiling, data brokerage, or unrelated purposes.

Audio data is processed only as necessary to provide the speech-to-text or transcription feature requested by the user.

If audio processing is performed entirely by SALEscalate.ai and is not transmitted to an external processor:

Audio data is processed in real time and is not permanently stored, recorded, or retained. Audio is discarded after the transcription process is completed.

If a third-party speech-to-text provider is used, this paragraph must instead identify that provider and explain that audio is securely transmitted to the provider solely for transcription processing.

We do not permit audio data to be used by third parties for advertising or unrelated purposes.

3. How We Use Information

We use personal information and other user data only for purposes that are reasonably necessary to provide and support the Service, including:

  • Providing speech-to-text and transcription functionality

  • Providing the functionality of the SALEscalate.ai Chrome Extension

  • Authenticating users and maintaining account sessions

  • Processing payments and managing subscriptions

  • Saving user preferences and settings

  • Responding to customer support requests

  • Maintaining the security and integrity of the Service

  • Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access

  • Diagnosing technical issues and application errors

  • Improving the reliability, security, usability, and performance of the Service's disclosed features

  • Complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements

We do not use Chrome Extension user data for purposes unrelated to the Extension's disclosed functionality.

4. How Chrome Extension Data Is Handled

We apply the principle of data minimization and seek to access only the information required to provide the functionality requested by the user.

Where applicable:

  • Data is accessed only when required for the relevant feature.

  • Website content is processed only for the purpose of performing the requested functionality.

  • Authentication information is used only to authenticate users and maintain secure account sessions.

  • Transcription information is processed only to provide speech-to-text and related functions.

  • Extension data is not used for personalized advertising.

  • Extension data is not sold to data brokers or other third parties.

  • Extension data is not used to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.

5. Data Storage

Information may be stored either locally within the user's browser or securely on SALEscalate.ai systems, depending on the feature.

5.1 Local Browser Storage

The Chrome Extension may use Chrome-provided storage mechanisms to store limited information such as:

  • Authentication state

  • User preferences

  • Extension configuration

  • Feature settings

  • Temporary application state

Local Extension data is used only to support Extension functionality.

Removing or uninstalling the Chrome Extension will generally remove Extension data stored locally by the browser, subject to Chrome's own browser behavior and synchronization settings.

5.2 Server-Side Storage

Information transmitted to SALEscalate.ai systems is stored only where necessary to provide, secure, maintain, or support the Service.

We do not permanently store raw audio data unless we expressly disclose otherwise and obtain any consent required by applicable law.

Website content or other browser information accessed by the Extension is not retained longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was processed, unless the user intentionally saves or submits that information as part of a SALEscalate.ai feature.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information or Chrome Extension user data.

We disclose information only in the circumstances described below.

6.1 Service Providers

  • Restricted administrative access

  • Security monitoring
