# Privacy Policy: Local Text Rewriter

Last updated: 2026-06-04

## Short version

The text you rewrite stays on your device. This extension does not send your
text or any browsing data to any server. There is no
account, no tracking, and no analytics.

## What the extension processes

- **Your input text.** The text you type or paste into the panel is passed to a
  language model that runs inside your own browser. It is never uploaded.
  Rewrites are generated locally and shown in the side panel.
- **Copying a result.** When you click "Copy" on a card, the extension writes
  that rewrite to your clipboard. It stays on your device.

## What the extension stores

- **Your model choice.** The id of the model you pick in the dropdown is saved
  in `chrome.storage.local` so the panel remembers it next time. That value
  stays on your device. Nothing else is stored.

## Network connections the extension makes

The extension downloads files so the model can run in your browser. It does not
send your text in these requests.

- **Model files** from the Hugging Face Hub (`huggingface.co` and its content
  delivery network on `*.hf.co`). Downloaded once per model and then cached by
  the browser. These requests reveal your IP address and which model file you
  download to Hugging Face, the same as visiting any website.
- **No code is downloaded.** The model engine (Transformers.js and the ONNX
  WebAssembly runtime) is bundled in the extension, so nothing executable is
  fetched at runtime.

The extension cannot connect to any other host. This is enforced by a
`connect-src` Content Security Policy in the manifest.

## What the extension does NOT do

- It has no page or host access. It cannot read or change any web page.
- It does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data.
- It does not use cookies, analytics, ads, or remote logging.

## Permissions and why

- **sidePanel:** show the rewrite UI in Chrome's side panel.
- **storage:** remember your chosen model.
