Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 1, 2026
Reddit Insights by iEcho ("we", "our", or "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what we never do.
What we collect
- Reddit username โ fetched once from Reddit's public API when you visit Reddit, used to associate your analyses and track your credit balance. Stored locally in the extension and on our servers.
- Reddit post data โ the public post title, body, and top comments of posts you choose to analyze. This data is fetched from Reddit's public JSON API and processed on our servers to generate insights.
- Credit usage โ we track how many analyses you have run to manage your credit balance.
- Credit purchase requests โ if you click "Buy credits", we log your username and current credit count so we can follow up.
What we do NOT collect
- Your Reddit password or authentication tokens
- Your browsing history or any pages you visit outside of Reddit post pages you explicitly analyze
- Any private Reddit messages or private subreddit content
- Any personally identifiable information beyond your Reddit username
How we use your data
- To generate community insights for the Reddit posts you choose to analyze
- To manage your credit balance and show you how many analyses you have remaining
- To cache analysis results so repeat visits to the same post are instant
Data sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with any third parties. Post content is sent to OpenAI's API solely to generate insights โ OpenAI's data usage policies apply to that processing.
Data retention
Analyzed post data and insights are stored on our servers indefinitely to power the cache feature. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.
Permissions
The extension requests the following Chrome permissions:
- activeTab โ to read the URL of the Reddit post you are currently viewing
- scripting โ to inject the Analyze button on Reddit post pages
- storage โ to cache your Reddit username locally so we don't re-fetch it on every page
- Host access to reddit.com โ to fetch public post data and verify your login status
Contact
If you have any questions or want to request data deletion, please contact us at hello@iecho.app.
