Question 1

What is SimaraGuard?

Accepted Answer

SimaraGuard is a Chrome extension that provides AI-powered analysis of your LinkedIn posts and Gmail emails before you publish or send them. It helps you understand tone, identify risks, detect PII exposure, and assess potential impact — giving you a moment to reflect before hitting "Post" or "Send".

Question 2

How does SimaraGuard work?

Accepted Answer

Install the Chrome extension and navigate to LinkedIn or Gmail. When you compose a post, comment, or email, click the "Check with SimaraGuard" button. Our AI analyzes your content in real-time and provides feedback on tone alignment, risk assessment, PII detection, and impact prediction. You stay in control — SimaraGuard only provides guidance, you make the final decision.

Question 3

What platforms does SimaraGuard support?

Accepted Answer

Currently, SimaraGuard works on LinkedIn (posts, comments, messages) and Gmail (email composition). We are actively working on adding support for Twitter/X, Facebook, and other professional platforms.

Question 4

Is my content stored or shared with third parties?

Accepted Answer

No. Your content is analyzed in real-time and not stored permanently. We use the analysis only to provide you with feedback. Decision logs (what you analyzed and your decision) are stored for your own reflection, but the actual content is not retained. We never sell or share your data with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Question 5

What AI model powers SimaraGuard?

Accepted Answer

SimaraGuard uses advanced language models fine-tuned for professional communication analysis. Our models are specifically trained to understand tone, risk, PII patterns, and context-aware impact assessment for professional content.

Question 6

Can I use SimaraGuard on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Currently, SimaraGuard is available as a Chrome desktop extension. Mobile support is on our roadmap as we explore browser extension compatibility for mobile platforms.

Question 7

How much does SimaraGuard cost?

Accepted Answer

SimaraGuard offers a free plan with 25 checks per month. Our Pro plan starts at $2.99/month (or $19.99/year) for 200 checks per month. We also offer a limited-time Pioneer Access plan at $39.99 for 5 years of unlimited access. See our Pricing page for full details.

Question 8

What counts as a "check"?

Accepted Answer

Each time you click "Check with SimaraGuard" and analyze content, it counts as one check. Your monthly limit resets on your billing date. You can purchase additional credits if you need more checks.

Question 9

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can upgrade to a higher plan anytime. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. Contact support@simaraguard.com for assistance with plan changes.

Question 10

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee for all paid plans. If you're not satisfied, contact support@simaraguard.com within 7 days of purchase for a full refund.

Question 11

Does SimaraGuard read all my emails and posts?

Accepted Answer

No. SimaraGuard only analyzes content when you explicitly click the "Check with SimaraGuard" button. We do not automatically scan, read, or analyze any of your content without your explicit action.

Question 12

What is PII detection and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

PII (Personally Identifiable Information) includes sensitive data like phone numbers, email addresses, credit card numbers, and social security numbers. Accidentally sharing PII publicly can lead to identity theft, spam, or privacy violations. SimaraGuard flags potential PII in your content so you can remove it before publishing.

Question 13

How do you protect my data?

Accepted Answer

We use industry-standard encryption (TLS/SSL) for all data transmission. Your authentication tokens are securely stored. We follow best practices for data security and privacy. We are GDPR-aware and respect user privacy rights. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Question 14

Can SimaraGuard guarantee my post won't cause issues?

Accepted Answer

No. SimaraGuard is a tool to help you make better decisions, not a guarantee. Our AI analyzes tone, risk, and impact based on patterns, but human communication is complex and context-dependent. You are always in control and responsible for what you publish.

Question 15

Why do I need to sign in to use SimaraGuard?

Accepted Answer

Authentication allows us to track your usage limits (checks per month), sync your decision history, and provide personalized insights. It also prevents abuse and ensures fair usage of our AI analysis infrastructure.

Question 16

What happens to my "Posting Decision Records"?

Accepted Answer

Each analysis creates a Decision Record that logs: (1) what you analyzed, (2) the risk level detected, (3) the platform, and (4) your decision. These records are stored for your own reflection and learning. You can access them anytime from your dashboard. We never share these records with anyone.
