This Privacy Policy explains how Wrench Studio ("the Company", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information specifically regarding your use of PostPilot ("the Product", "the Application", "the Extension"), a browser extension software product created, owned, and operated by Wrench Studio.

By installing the PostPilot browser extension, creating an account, or authenticating your active user license, you explicitly consent to the data architectural boundaries and practices outlined in this policy.

1. THE CORE PRINCIPLE: ZERO THIRD-PARTY PLATFORM DATA COLLECTION & RETENTION

Unlike traditional data-scraping software, PostPilot operates utilizing a local client-side structural parsing architecture. Wrench Studio does not compile, harvest, or retain any client customer listing content or personal data parsed from third-party platforms on our own hosting systems. No dealership data, raw text assets, or listing content processed by the extension is permanently retained on our servers. All parsing of dealership inventory is handled transiently on a request-by-request basis via the secure, server-side Gemini API translation pipeline, and is returned directly to your extension client window.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

In order to provide account licensing and service access, we collect the following limited data points:

• Account Details: Your first name, last name, email address, and an encrypted hash of your chosen password.
• Licensing and Billing Data: PayPal checkout identifiers and active subscription status metadata. We never store or receive your payment card numbers, bank account details, or PayPal password credentials directly.
• Usage Sessions: Basic transient session identifiers to verify license authenticity and keep you securely logged into the application.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the collected information exclusively for the following purposes:

• To authenticate and license your active usage of the PostPilot browser extension.
• To process automatic recurring subscription invoices and verify receipt of payments via PayPal.
• To provide technical assistance and customer support when you reach out to our team at support@thewrenchstudio.com.
• To improve our automated local parsing models through transient optimization algorithms.

4. THIRD-PARTY DATA PROCESSORS

We work with trusted third-party service providers to handle transient authentication and billing workflows. These providers are strictly contractually bound to safeguard your data:

• PayPal: Used exclusively to manage subscription checkouts, trial tracking, and monthly billing authorizations.
• Google Gemini API: Raw text extracted locally is sent securely through a server-to-server connection to parse dealership details. None of this data is trained on, retained, or shared.

5. YOUR RIGHT TO PERMANENT DELETION

You have full sovereignty over your account data. At any time, you can navigate to the Extension Settings panel and choose to permanently close your account. This action instantly and permanently:

• Cancels your recurring PayPal subscription billing profile.
• Purges your first name, last name, email, and password records entirely from Wrench Studio's databases.
• Terminates all transient browser session authorizations.

6. SECURITY MEASURES

We implement robust, industry-standard cryptographic techniques to secure authentication tokens and account hashes. However, please be aware that no security architecture is 100% immune, and you share responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality of your chosen password.
