Privacy Policy
Extension Name: Ask Gemini
Last Updated: June 26, 2026
Introduction
This Privacy Policy outlines how "Ask Gemini" (the "Extension" or "Service") collects, uses, transmits, and protects user information. The Extension is a Chrome extension that allows users to access Google's Gemini AI from their browser. We highly respect the privacy of our users and are committed to transparent data handling practices.
Information We Process & Transmit
To provide its core functionality, the Extension handles the following user data:
1. Google Gemini API Key
- The Extension requires you to provide your own Google Gemini API key via the options/settings page.
- Storage: The API key is stored locally and securely on your own device using Chrome's local storage capabilities (
chrome.storage.local). It is never sent to our servers.
- Usage: The key is used strictly to authenticate your requests directly with Google's Gemini API endpoints.
Important Notice regarding Sensitive User Data:
The Extension transmits sensitive user data (text prompts and images) directly to Google's API servers. We do not inspect, collect, or store this data on any external infrastructure owned by us.
2. User Content (Text Prompts and Images)
- Data Type: When using the extension, you may input text prompts or provide images to be processed by the AI model.
- Transmission: This sensitive data (text inputs and image files) is securely posted directly from your browser to Google’s official Gemini API endpoints.
- Purpose: This data transmission is strictly necessary to generate the AI responses you request.
- Retention: We do not collect, capture, view, or retain your text prompts or images on any server owned or controlled by us. Your interactions are entirely between your browser and the Google Gemini API.
Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosure
We do not share, sell, or disclose any user information to third parties, except for the necessary direct interactions detailed below:
- With Google: Your API key, text prompts, and images are transmitted securely to Google's Gemini API to facilitate the core functions of the extension. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy to understand how Google processes this data.
- Legal Requirements: We do not have access to your data to disclose it. However, if required by law or valid legal processes, we will cooperate with authorities within our technical limitations.
Data Security
Your API key remains on your local machine within Chrome's isolated storage environment. All communications with Google's Gemini API are conducted via secure, encrypted HTTPS protocols to protect your data (including text and images) during transit.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be reflected on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
