TeeTransformer – AI T-Shirt Design Tool (Chrome Extension)
Last Updated: April 12, 2026
Chrome Web Store Compliance: This extension complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy. We collect only the minimum data necessary for the extension to function. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
1. Overview
TeeTransformer is a Chrome browser extension that helps users redesign T-shirt graphics using Google Gemini, xAI Grok, and FLUX/SD AI models. Users can upload T-shirt images or capture them from any webpage, then use AI to extract the artwork, redesign it, or transform it into a viral POD-ready design.
This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, how long we retain it, and your rights regarding your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
2. Data We Collect
We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide our services:
Email Address: Used for optional account creation and authentication.
User ID: A unique identifier generated for your account.
Usage Statistics and Event Logs: Number of AI processing jobs performed, quota usage, and account events such as signup, login, and install.
Network and Device Information: IP address, country, city, and user agent, collected for security, fraud prevention, abuse detection, and account activity logs.
Uploaded Images: T-shirt images you select for AI processing. These are sent to the selected AI provider (Google Gemini, xAI Grok, or FLUX/SD) and are not permanently stored on our servers.
AI API Key (optional): If you provide your own Gemini, Grok, or FLUX/SD API key, it is stored locally in your browser only and never transmitted to our servers.
Payment Information: Processed through PayPal and PayOS. We do not store credit card details.
We do NOT collect: browsing history, cookies, location data, or any data from pages you visit outside of the extension's functionality.
3. How We Use Your Data
Authentication: Verify your identity and manage your account via Supabase.
AI Processing: Send your selected images to the selected AI provider (Google Gemini, xAI Grok, or FLUX/SD) to perform T-shirt artwork extraction, redesign, and enhancement.
Quota Management: Track your AI job usage and remaining balance.
Payment Processing: Process credit purchases via PayPal (USD) and PayOS (VND).
Security: Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.
Account Activity Logging: Record signup, login, install, and related account activity events.
Customer Support: Respond to your inquiries and provide assistance.

4. Image Processing and Storage
Important information about how your images are handled:
Local Storage First: All design results are stored locally in your browser's chrome.storage.local. They are not uploaded to our servers.
AI Processing: When you click Redesign, Extract, or Viral, your selected image is sent to the selected AI provider for processing. This is the only time your image leaves your device.
No Permanent Storage: We do not permanently store your uploaded images on our servers.
Secure Transmission: All image data is transmitted over HTTPS.
No Third-Party Sharing: Your images are never shared with third parties other than the selected AI provider for processing.
User Control: You can clear all locally stored data at any time by removing the extension or clearing Chrome extension storage.
5. Chrome Permissions Explained
TeeTransformer requests the following Chrome permissions. Each permission is used only for the stated purpose:
Permission
Why It's Needed
storage
Store your design tasks, results, API key, and preferences locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers.
unlimitedStorage
T-shirt design images can be several MB each. Standard storage quota (5MB) is insufficient for multiple designs. This ensures you can work with multiple designs without hitting limits.
activeTab
Access the current tab only when you explicitly activate the extension or right-click an image. Not used for passive monitoring.
contextMenus
Add the "Redesign this image with TeeTransformer" option to the right-click menu on images. Only appears on image elements.
We do not use <all_urls> or broad host permissions. The extension only accesses external URLs explicitly listed in host_permissions (Supabase for auth, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, BFL/FLUX/SD, and payment gateway for upgrades).
6. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services to provide our functionality. We do not sell your data to any of these services or to anyone else. The lists below identify the categories of data shared with each party and the purpose of that sharing.
