Such Summary — Privacy policy
Last updated: 25 March 2026
Overview
Such Summary is a Chrome extension that summarises web articles using AI. It is designed to be privacy-respecting: your data stays on your device and is only sent to the AI provider you choose.
Data collection
Such Summary does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to us. Specifically:
- We do not collect analytics or usage data.
- We do not use cookies or tracking technologies.
- We do not have user accounts or authentication.
- We do not operate any servers that receive your data (see below for the one exception).
API keys
You provide your own API key for your chosen AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google Gemini). Your API key is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage API (chrome.storage.local). It is never synced across devices and is never sent to us or any third party — only to the AI provider you selected.
Article content
When you request a summary, the extension extracts the article text from the current page and sends it directly to your chosen AI provider's API. This content is sent from your browser to the AI provider — it does not pass through any servers we operate.
Settings sync
Non-sensitive settings (provider choice, model preferences, custom prompts) are stored using chrome.storage.sync, which Chrome may sync across your signed-in devices via your Google account. API keys are explicitly excluded from sync.
Model configuration
The extension periodically fetches a small JSON file from wow.pjh.is to check for updated default model IDs. This allows us to automatically give you access to the latest AI models as they become available, so you always get the best possible summaries without needing to update the extension. This request contains no personal data, no API keys, and no article content — it is a simple GET request that returns a list of model names.
Usage logs
The extension maintains local usage logs (token counts per request) stored in chrome.storage.local on your device. These logs are never transmitted anywhere. You can view and clear them from the settings page.
Third-party services
Article content is sent to whichever AI provider you configure. Each provider has its own privacy policy:
Permissions
The extension requests the following Chrome permissions:
- activeTab — to read the current page's content when you activate the extension.
- storage — to save your settings and API key locally.
- scripting — to inject the content script that extracts article text and displays summaries.
Host permissions for API domains (api.anthropic.com, api.openai.com, generativelanguage.googleapis.com) are required to make API calls directly from the extension. The wow.pjh.is permission is used solely for fetching model configuration.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL. Material changes will be noted in the extension's changelog.
