Privacy Policy for Sidekick AI

Last updated: June 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Sidekick AI ("the Extension", "we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use the Sidekick AI browser extension.

1. Overview

Sidekick AI is a browser extension that allows users to interact with AI services from a browser side panel. The Extension may help users summarize, analyze, or ask questions about web pages they are viewing.

The Extension is designed to process information only as needed to provide features requested by the user.

2. Information the Extension May Access

Depending on how you use the Extension, Sidekick AI may access the following types of information:

• The URL and title of the active browser tab.
• Visible text or content from the web page you are currently viewing.
• User-entered prompts, questions, or instructions.
• Extension settings and preferences stored locally in your browser.

Sidekick AI may request access to web page content so that it can provide AI-assisted features such as summarization, explanation, rewriting, translation, or question answering.

3. How Information Is Used

Information accessed by the Extension is used only for the following purposes:

• To provide AI-assisted responses requested by the user.
• To extract relevant page content for summarization or analysis.
• To maintain user preferences and extension settings.
• To improve the functionality and reliability of the Extension.

4. Data Sharing and Third-Party AI Services

When you use Sidekick AI to ask questions, summarize content, or analyze a web page, the relevant content and your prompt may be sent to third-party AI service providers in order to generate a response.

These providers may include, depending on the user's selected service or configuration:

• OpenAI / ChatGPT
• Anthropic / Claude
• Google / Gemini
• Microsoft / Copilot
• Other AI services selected or configured by the user

The handling of information by those third-party services is governed by their own privacy policies and terms. Users should review the privacy policies of the AI services they choose to use.

5. Data Storage

Sidekick AI may store extension settings and preferences locally in the user's browser using browser storage. This may include configuration options such as selected AI provider, UI preferences, or feature settings.

Sidekick AI does not intentionally store full web page contents, prompts, or AI responses on our own servers unless explicitly stated in a separate feature or configuration.

6. Data Sale and Advertising

Sidekick AI does not sell, rent, or trade user data.

Sidekick AI does not use user data for targeted advertising.

7. User Control

Users can control use of the Extension by enabling, disabling, or removing it from their browser at any time. Users may also clear locally stored extension data through their browser settings.

8. Permissions

Sidekick AI may request browser permissions that allow it to operate as a side panel, access active tab information, run scripts on web pages, store settings, and read page content when required for user-requested AI features.

These permissions are used only to provide the core functionality of the Extension.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to limit access to user data and to use information only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

Sidekick AI is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
