Etsy SEO AI Plugin (MakeBox.ai)

Last updated: February 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what data the Etsy SEO AI Plugin processes, why it is processed, and how it is used. The extension is intended for Etsy sellers and provides AI-assisted listing optimization, message reply generation, keyword workflows, and related productivity features.

What We Process

• Etsy listing data you choose to optimize (for example: title, description, tags).
• Etsy message conversation content when you use the AI reply feature.
• Product images that you upload or select for AI photo analysis / image-related features.
• Account and subscription data (for example: email address, Firebase user ID, subscription plan/status).
• Extension settings stored locally (for example: preferences, AI instructions, feature toggles).
• Usage counters/limits (monthly generation counts by account/plan).

Why We Process This Data

• To provide AI-generated titles, tags, replies, prompts, and image outputs.
• To authenticate users and keep extension sessions active.
• To validate paid plan access and enforce feature availability / usage limits.
• To process subscriptions and billing events (via Stripe and Firebase backend workflows).

Third-Party Services Used

• Google Firebase (Authentication, Hosting, Firestore, Cloud Functions)
• Stripe (subscription billing and payment processing)
• xAI (Grok) for text generation features
• Google Gemini APIs for image generation features (plan-dependent)
• eRank (only when you choose to use eRank-related workflows)

Local Storage vs Cloud Processing

• The extension stores certain settings and session data in Chrome storage (for example: chrome.storage.local and chrome.storage.sync).
• AI requests are processed through backend services (Firebase Cloud Functions) and may be sent to third-party AI providers to fulfill the requested feature.

Data Retention

We retain only the data needed to operate the service, maintain subscriptions, and enforce usage limits. Some data may be stored in third-party providers according to their retention policies.

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data. Data is shared only with service providers required to deliver the extension functionality (for example Firebase, Stripe, xAI, Google Gemini), subject to their platform terms and privacy policies.

Security

We use HTTPS network requests for service communication. Access control for paid features is enforced server-side. Some user-provided keys (where applicable) may be stored encrypted server-side.

Your Choices

• You can disable optional message monitoring in the extension popup.
• You can sign out of the extension at any time.
• You can stop using the extension and remove it from Chrome.
