// legal · short version: nothing leaves your machine except to your provider

The shortest privacy policy you'll read today.

Last updated: April 25, 2026

Who we are

writerIAit is maintained by Gaston Mira. The full source code is published at github.com/gastonmira/writeriait.

What data the extension handles

When you trigger a correction (using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+K / Cmd+Shift+K or the floating button next to the focused text field), the extension reads the current contents of that field and sends it directly from your browser to the LLM provider you have configured.

Data sent to the selected LLM provider

• The text contained in the focused field at the time of the request.
• The system prompt that asks the model to return grammar corrections, the language you selected, and the tone hint derived from the hostname (for example, "professional email" on Gmail).
• Your API key, sent as the standard authentication header for that provider.

Data stored locally on your device

Settings are saved in Chrome's extension storage. They never leave your device unless Chrome Sync is enabled by you for the relevant store:

• chrome.storage.local — your API key, the count of corrections this week, and the reasons of recent corrections (used for the "Top fix" stat in the popup). Local storage is never synchronized across devices.
• chrome.storage.sync — non-sensitive preferences: native language, selected provider, check mode, rewrite intent, correction view, and whether the floating button is enabled.

What we do not collect

• writerIAit does not run any backend server. There is no intermediate service between your browser and the LLM provider.
• We do not collect analytics, telemetry, crash reports, or usage metrics.
• We do not track your browsing history, IP address, location, or any identifier.
• We do not sell, rent, or share data with third parties for advertising or any other purpose.

Third parties that receive your text

The extension only ever talks to the LLM provider you choose. Each provider has its own privacy policy and data handling rules — please review them before deciding which to use:

• OpenAI — openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
• Anthropic — anthropic.com/legal/privacy
• Google (Gemini) — policies.google.com/privacy
• Groq — groq.com/privacy-policy

Switching providers from the extension popup changes which provider receives subsequent requests. The extension never sends your text to more than one provider per request.

Permissions the extension requests

• storage — to save the preferences and API key listed above.
• activeTab — to deliver the keyboard shortcut to the active tab so the correction overlay can open on the field you are editing.

The extension also declares a content script match of <all_urls> so the overlay and floating button can run on whatever site you are typing in. The script only reads field contents when you explicitly trigger a correction.

How to delete your data

1. Open the extension popup and clear the API key field, then click Save.
2. Open chrome://extensions, find writerIAit, click "Details" → "Extension options" or remove the extension to wipe all stored preferences and stats.
3. To delete data already received by an LLM provider, follow the deletion instructions in that provider's privacy policy (linked above).

Children

writerIAit is not directed to children under 13. Do not use the extension if you do not meet the minimum age required by the LLM provider you select.
