Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 6, 2026

The short version PrAIvacy runs entirely on your device. We do not collect, transmit, sell, or share any of your data — there is no server for it to go to. No account, no tracking, no analytics.

1.What PrAIvacy does

PrAIvacy is a Chrome extension that detects sensitive information (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, account identifiers, secrets, and similar) in the text you type into supported AI chat sites, and lets you redact it in one click before you send. This detection‑and‑redaction function is its single purpose.

2.Where your text is processed

Detection runs on your device, inside your browser, using an on‑device AI model. The text you type is read locally to find sensitive spans and is never transmitted anywhere — not to us, not to any third party.

3.Data we collect

None. Consistent with Google's definition — where "collection" means transmitting data off the device the extension runs on — PrAIvacy collects no user data, because it transmits none. We have no servers that receive your content, and we do not use analytics, tracking, or telemetry of any kind.

4.Settings stored on your device

Your preferences — whether protection is on, redaction style, which detection categories are enabled, per‑site mutes, and a one‑time record that the on‑device model has been downloaded — are saved locally via chrome.storage. They stay on your device and are never sent to us.

5.Network activity

PrAIvacy makes exactly one kind of network request, and only if you choose to enable detection: a one‑time download of the AI model's files (weights) from Hugging Face (huggingface.co and its content hosts *.hf.co). These are data files fetched to your device; no text you type is ever sent in the process. After the download, detection works entirely offline. The extension's content security policy restricts network connections to the extension's own resources and these Hugging Face hosts.

6.Permissions

storage — save your settings locally (section 4).
offscreen — run the detection model off the page's main thread, in an isolated document, for performance.
Site access — read your draft in the prompt box of the specific AI sites PrAIvacy supports (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Grok) to detect and redact sensitive data. PrAIvacy requests access only to those sites, never to all websites.
Hugging Face (optional) — requested only if you opt in to download the model, solely to fetch the model files (section 5).

7.No third parties receive your data

Because nothing you type leaves your browser, no third party ever receives your content. Hugging Face serves the model file to you; it does not receive anything you type. We share no data with anyone because we hold none.

8.Children

PrAIvacy is a general‑audience tool, is not directed at children, and collects no personal information from anyone.

9.Changes to this policy

If our data practices ever change, we will update this page (and the date above) and surface material changes in the extension before they take effect. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
