Privacy Policy
Ask My AI Extension
Last Updated: September 30, 2025
TL;DR
We don't collect ANY data. Period.
No servers. No tracking. No analytics. The extension just opens your AI in a sidebar and pastes your selected text. That's it.
How It Works
Ask My AI is a simple browser tool that:
- Takes the text you select
- Opens your chosen AI website in a sidebar
- Pastes the text directly into the AI
Everything happens in your browser. No servers involved. No data sent to us. The extension talks directly to the AI platform you choose.
What We Store Locally
Two things, both stored locally in your browser (never sent to any server):
- Your AI platform preference (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)
- Your last selected text - so when you switch AI platforms, the same text is automatically available
This data never leaves your device.
Open Source
The entire codebase is on GitHub. Feel free to review it and verify everything we're saying.
Chrome Permissions
The extension needs these permissions to work:
- contextMenus: Add "Ask My AI" to right-click menu
- sidePanel: Open AI in sidebar
- storage: Save your AI preference & last selected text locally
- declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess: Remove CSP headers to allow embedding AI websites in sidebar iframe
- host_permissions & content_scripts: Access AI websites (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to paste your selected text
No data is collected or sent to any external servers. Everything stays in your browser.
Third-Party AI Platforms
When you use the extension, you're using your own AI account. Each AI platform (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle your data.
