# Privacy Policy — Rewrite with AI

_Last updated: 2026-06-29_

**Rewrite with AI** ("the extension") is a browser extension that rewrites or
generates text you select or type on a web page. This policy explains what data
it handles and where that data goes.

## Summary

- The extension has **no server of its own** and **collects no analytics**.
- Your settings and API key are stored **only in your browser**.
- Text you ask to rewrite is sent **only** to OpenAI's API or to chatgpt.com,
  depending on the mode you choose — and only when you trigger an action.

## What the extension handles

**1. Settings and API key**
Your chosen mode and settings, and (in API key mode) your OpenAI API key, are
stored locally using the browser's `chrome.storage` API. They never leave your
browser except as described below. Your API key is transmitted only to OpenAI
(`api.openai.com`) to authenticate your own requests.

**2. The text you rewrite**
When you invoke a rewrite, summarize, extend, or autocomplete action, the
selected or typed text (and, for whole-page actions, the page's visible text) is
sent to the AI provider so it can produce a result:

- **API key mode** → sent to OpenAI's API (`api.openai.com`).
- **ChatGPT tab mode** → entered into a `chatgpt.com` tab in your own logged-in
  browser session.

Text is sent only at the moment you trigger an action. The extension does not
log, store, or transmit your text anywhere else.

## Third parties

The only third party that receives your data is **OpenAI** (via its API or via
chatgpt.com), because contacting OpenAI/ChatGPT is the core purpose of the
extension. Your use of OpenAI's services is governed by OpenAI's own privacy
policy and terms:

- https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
- https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use

The extension does **not** sell or transfer your data to any other third party,
does not use it for advertising, and does not use it to determine
creditworthiness or for lending.

## Data retention and deletion

The extension keeps no data on any server. To delete everything it stores,
remove the extension or clear its data from your browser's extensions settings.
