Our extension requires certain permissions to function properly. Here's why each permission is necessary:

Is my data safe with this extension?

Yes, all your data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's secure storage. We do not collect or store your data on our servers. The only data sharing occurs when you use AI-powered proposals, where job details and your API key are sent to the AI provider you selected.

Do I need to provide my own API keys?

Yes, if you want to use the AI-powered proposal generation feature, you need to provide your own API key for the selected provider (OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeep, or Gemini). The extension doesn't come with built-in API keys.

Is this extension affiliated with Upwork?

No, this extension is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to Upwork. It is a third-party tool designed to enhance your experience on the Upwork platform.

Can Upwork detect that I'm using this extension?

The extension operates on your browser and doesn't modify Upwork's functionality in ways that would be detectable to Upwork's systems. However, we recommend reviewing and personalizing any AI-generated proposals to ensure they match your unique voice and skills.

How much does this extension cost?

The extension itself is free to use. However, if you choose to use AI-powered proposals, you will need to provide your own API key from OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeep, or Gemini, which may have associated costs based on their pricing models.

Will the extension automatically submit proposals?

No, the extension only helps you generate and fill in proposals. You always maintain control and must manually review and submit each proposal through Upwork's interface.
