Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2026

Redakto ("the Extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes how the Extension handles your data — in short, it doesn't collect any.

Data Collection

The Extension does NOT collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data, with anyone, ever.

Redakto has no server, no backend, and no analytics of any kind. Every correction runs entirely on your device:

• The text you ask Redakto to fix is read from the field you're editing and passed directly to Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano model (the Prompt API), which runs locally on your computer.
• The corrected text is written back into that same field. Nothing about it — not the original, not the correction, not even the fact that you used the extension — is ever sent anywhere.
• Redakto makes zero network requests. You can verify this yourself in your browser's DevTools Network tab while using it.

What Data Is Stored Locally

The Extension uses chrome.storage.local to save the following, on your device only:

• Your preferences: interface language, correction language, default correction mode, and the minimum number of characters before the correction button appears.
• Sites where you turned the extension off, so that choice is remembered.
• A performance number (characters corrected per second), measured automatically from your own corrections, used only to estimate how long the next correction will take. It reflects your device's speed, not anything about you.

None of this ever leaves your browser. You can clear it at any time from Chrome's extension settings, or by uninstalling the extension.

Permissions

• storage — to save the preferences listed above, locally.
• activeTab — used only when you open the extension's popup, to show which site you're currently on and let you turn Redakto off for that site.
• Access to run on web pages — needed because Redakto's entire purpose is to offer text corrections on whatever page you're typing in. It only ever reads the text field you're actively editing; it does not read the rest of the page, your cookies, or your browsing history.

Third-Party Services

None. Redakto does not communicate with any external service, API, or server.

Changes to This Policy

Any future changes will be posted on this page.
