Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2, 2026

PageMind is a Chrome extension that adds an AI assistant to any webpage. This policy explains what data the extension accesses, how it is stored, and where it is sent.

1. What data the extension accesses

• Page content — When you trigger an action (Summarize, Explain, Rewrite, Translate, Extract, or Chat), PageMind reads the current page's text content using Mozilla Readability. This text is sent to your chosen AI provider to generate a response. Page content is accessed only when you explicitly trigger an action — never automatically or in the background.
• Selected text — When you use a context menu action on selected text, that selection is sent to your AI provider.
• API keys — The OpenAI or DeepSeek API key you enter in the settings page is stored locally to authenticate API calls.
• Conversation history — Your chat messages (questions and AI responses) are stored locally so you can review past conversations.
• Settings — Your selected provider, model, and preferences are stored locally.

2. How data is stored

• All data is stored in chrome.storage.local — on your device, in your browser profile.
• Data is never synced to the cloud via chrome.storage.sync.
• Data is never written to any external database or server operated by PageMind.
• API keys are kept in the extension's service worker and used only for authenticated fetch() calls to your chosen provider. They are never exposed to content scripts or web pages.

3. Where data is sent

• Page content and your prompts are sent only to the AI provider you configure (OpenAI at api.openai.com or DeepSeek at api.deepseek.com).
• Requests are made from the extension's service worker using your API key for authentication.
• No data is sent to any other server. There is no analytics service, no telemetry, no error reporting, and no third-party tracking.

4. What we do not collect

• No analytics or usage metrics.
• No crash reports or error reports.
• No browsing history. PageMind does not track which pages you visit.
• No personal information. PageMind does not ask for or store your name, email, or identity.
• No advertising or marketing identifiers.

5. How to delete your data

• Remove individual conversations using the session list in the side panel.
• Clear all data by removing the extension (Chrome will delete all chrome.storage.local data).
• Or go to chrome://extensions → PageMind → "Details" → "Service worker" → use DevTools to clear storage.

6. Third-party services

Your use of OpenAI and DeepSeek APIs is governed by their respective privacy policies:

• OpenAI: openai.com/privacy
• DeepSeek: deepseek.com/privacy

PageMind does not control how these providers handle your data. Review their policies before use.

7. Permissions

• activeTab — Access the current tab's content when you trigger an action.
• sidePanel — Display the chat interface in Chrome's side panel.
• contextMenus — Add right-click menu items for AI actions.
• storage — Store your API keys, settings, and conversation history locally.
• commands — Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+S, Ctrl+Shift+E).
• alarms — Keep the service worker alive during long AI streaming responses.
• scripting — Fallback page-content extraction when the content script isn't injected.
• host_permissions (api.openai.com, api.deepseek.com) — Make authenticated API calls to your chosen AI provider.

8. Children's privacy

PageMind is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.

9. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
