AI Writer: Privacy Policy
Last updated: 21 October 2026 · Applies to the Chrome extension "AI Writer – Grammar & Smart Replies".
Summary
- The developer does not collect, store, sell or share any of your data. There are no developer servers, no analytics and no tracking.
- Text is sent only when needed for a feature, and only to the service that performs it: the AI provider you choose, with your API key, or LanguageTool for grammar checks.
- Settings and your API key stay in your browser.
What is processed, and where it goes
| Data | When | Sent to |
|---|---|---|
| Text you choose to rewrite, complete, translate, explain or summarize, plus the page title, site name and field label as context | Only when you click an action in the AI Writer panel or right-click menu | Your chosen AI provider (Google Gemini, Groq or OpenRouter) |
| Recent WhatsApp Web messages in the open chat (text only, up to 30). E-mail addresses, links, phone numbers, codes/OTPs and password-like text are replaced with placeholders first. | Only when you click ✨ / Suggest replies / Summarize, or when a new message arrives and you turned on auto-suggest | Your chosen AI provider |
| The text of the field you are typing in | Grammar checks: while you type (if "Check grammar while typing" is on) or when you open the Grammar tab. Skipped on password, e-mail, phone, OTP, card and search fields and on fields the site marks as private. | LanguageTool (api.languagetool.org) |
These services process the text under their own privacy policies: Google, Groq, OpenRouter, LanguageTool.
Stored in your browser
- Settings (provider, model, tone, language, toggles, your saved prompts, dictionary words, disabled sites), in Chrome's local extension storage.
- Your API key, in Chrome's local extension storage, kept separate from settings. It is only read by the extension's background worker and settings page, and is sent only to the provider it belongs to.
- A daily usage counter (number of AI calls and tokens), shown in the popup.
- A short-term cache of recent AI answers, held in memory only and cleared when the browser closes.
Uninstalling the extension deletes all of this.
Permissions
- Access to websites: to show the ✦ icon in text fields on any site and to insert the text you approve.
- storage: to save settings and your key locally.
- contextMenus: for the right-click "AI Writer" menu.
- scripting: to start the extension in tabs that were already open when it is installed or updated.
- activeTab: to show the current site's on/off switch in the popup.
