Privacy Policy for ai-text-rewriter

Last Updated: December 08, 2025

Introduction

The ai-text-rewriter extension (“we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our browser extension.

Data Collection and Usage

We are transparent about what data we collect and how it is used:

1. User Input Data:
   • When you select text and use the “Rewrite” or “Translate” features, the selected text is sent to the AI provider you have configured (e.g., OpenAI, Google Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter).
   • This data is processed solely for the purpose of generating the rewritten or translated text you requested.
   • We do not store, harvest, or sell your text inputs on our own servers. The data goes directly from your browser to the chosen AI provider’s API.
2. API Keys:
   • Your API keys (e.g., for OpenAI, Gemini) are stored locally on your device using Chrome’s secure storage API (chrome.storage.local).
   • These keys are never transmitted to us or any third party other than the respective API provider for authentication purposes.
3. History:
   • The extension stores a local history of your rewrites and translations within your browser’s internal storage (IndexedDB/LocalStorage) to allow you to review past generations.
   • This history stays on your device and is not synced to any cloud server controlled by us.

Third-Party AI Providers

This extension acts as a client for various AI services. By using a specific provider, you are subject to their respective privacy policies:

• OpenAI: Privacy Policy
• Google (Gemini): Privacy Policy
• Groq: Privacy Policy
• OpenRouter: Privacy Policy

Permissions

The extension requests the following permissions for specific functionalities:

• Host Permissions (<all_urls>): Required to display the floating “Rewrite/Translate” button on any webpage when you select text. The extension injects a lightweight content script to detect text selection events.
• Storage: Required to save your preferences, API keys, and history locally.
• Alarms: Used to schedule automatic cleanup of old history data.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
