Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 6, 2026
WGPilot for WG-Gesucht is a Chrome extension that helps users generate listing-specific WG application prompts from WG-Gesucht listing pages. This Privacy Policy explains what information WGPilot processes, why it is processed, and how it is handled.
Single purpose
WGPilot's single purpose is to help users generate listing-specific WG application prompts from WG-Gesucht listing pages. WGPilot does not automatically send applications or messages. Users review, edit, copy, and send any application text manually.
Information processed by the extension
WGPilot may process the following information when the user chooses to use the extension:
- Extension token: a token issued through @WGPilotBot and pasted by the user into the extension to verify access.
- User-provided applicant context: optional information entered by the user, such as name, age, country, university, study program, move-in date, and a short personal description.
- WG-Gesucht listing content: details from the active WG-Gesucht listing page selected by the user, such as title, URL, location, rent, size, description, advertiser name when available, and visible draft message text when available.
How information is used
WGPilot uses this information only for core extension functionality: verifying access and generating the listing-specific prompt requested by the user. The information is not used for advertising, creditworthiness, lending, or unrelated purposes.
Local storage
The extension token and applicant context are stored locally in Chrome using Chrome extension storage so the user does not need to re-enter them every time. Users can edit or remove this information from the extension at any time.
Backend processing
When the user checks access or generates a prompt, the extension sends the required information to the WGPilot API at https://api.berk.fyi. The backend verifies access and returns the generated prompt. Plain extension tokens are not stored server-side; the backend stores token hashes and operational records required to provide the service.
Service providers
Listing details and user-provided context may be processed by backend infrastructure and AI service providers only as needed to generate the prompt requested by the user and operate the service. WGPilot does not sell user data.
Data sharing
WGPilot does not sell user data. WGPilot does not share user data for advertising or marketing. Data is processed only to provide the requested extension functionality, comply with legal obligations, protect the service from abuse, or operate necessary service infrastructure.
Remote code
The WGPilot Chrome extension does not execute remote JavaScript or WebAssembly. The extension package contains its JavaScript files. The extension communicates with the WGPilot API and displays returned text, but it does not load or execute remote code.
User control
Users control when WGPilot reads a listing and when prompt generation happens. WGPilot does not automatically send WG-Gesucht applications or messages. Users can request a new extension token through @WGPilotBot; issuing a new token revokes the previous active token.
