Privacy Policy

We believe in radical transparency. This extension collects zero personal data, runs no analytics, and keeps everything local to your browser. Your AI keys, your summaries, your control.

Zero telemetry Local-first storage Your keys, your data

Data We Access

  • YouTube transcripts — extracted only when you click "Summarize". We read the publicly available captions from the video page you are viewing.
  • Your API keys (Groq, Ollama, Gemini TTS) — stored locally in your browser's extension storage for authentication only.
  • Extension preferences — provider, model, output language, cache toggles. All stored locally.

How Data Is Used

  • Transcript text is sent to your chosen AI provider (Groq or Ollama Cloud) solely for summarization. The response is returned directly to your browser.
  • Podcast script (AI-generated dialogue) is sent to Google Gemini TTS solely for audio generation. Audio is played and optionally cached locally.
  • API keys are used only for authenticating requests. They are never sent anywhere other than the provider you selected.
  • No personal data — name, email, IP address, browsing history — is ever collected or transmitted.

Storage & Retention

Everything is stored locally in your browser via Chrome's chrome.storage.local API. Nothing is sent to our servers — we don't have any.

Summaries: optional LRU cache (max 20) Transcripts: off by default API keys: obfuscated (XOR + Base64)

Use the trash icon in the panel header or "Clear Cache" in settings to wipe all cached data instantly.
