What the extension accesses
The text of the page you are viewing — and only when you ask for it, by selecting text, using the right-click menu, or pressing Grab page text. That text is used for exactly four things: rewriting it to a CEFR level, pulling vocabulary out of it, highlighting words in place, and showing the reading overlay.
Your preferences — theme, interface language, translation language, deck size, deck name — stored locally in your browser through Chrome's own storage.

Where the data goes
The extension sends nothing to the developer and to no server we operate. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no user account. The three places your data can touch are all on your own machine or your own choice:
The extensionReads and rewrites text in your browser. Never phones home.Local
Your local serverAn optional backend on 127.0.0.1 does the adaptation and builds .apkg files. It forwards text to the LLM provider you configured, using an API key you supply — that provider's policy then applies. No server running = no text leaves the browser.Optional
Anki desktop"Send to Anki" talks only to the Anki app on your computer, via the AnkiConnect add-on on 127.0.0.1.Local

What we never collect
Not now, not in a future update without rewriting this page first:
- Name, email, home address or any identifier tied to a person.
- Payment data, passwords, credentials, or anything that authenticates you.
- Location — no IP logging, no GPS, no region fingerprinting.
- Browsing history — we never see which pages you visit; we only see the page you hand us.
- Behaviour — no click, scroll, mouse, or keystroke monitoring.

Retention
Page text is processed in memory and is not stored by the extension. The selection you send from the context menu lives in local storage for a few seconds — just long enough for the side panel to pick it up — and is then deleted.
Your preferences stay in your browser's local storage until you remove the extension.

Your control
You can stop all processing at any moment: close the side panel, don't run the local server, or uninstall the extension — which also wipes the stored preferences. There is no account to delete, because there is no account to begin with.

When this policy changes, the Last updated date at the top moves. The extension itself will keep doing less with your data than this page allows — never more without telling you.
