PrivacyLens collects the domain name and privacy policy text of websites you choose to analyze. No browsing history, personal information, or data from pages you do not explicitly analyze is ever collected.
The privacy policy text is sent to Google's Gemini API to generate a plain-English summary. The resulting summary is stored on our servers associated only with the domain name — no user accounts or identifiers are involved.
To avoid showing the same "Privacy policy detected" notification over and over, PrivacyLens keeps a small record in your browser of sites where that notification was shown, ignored, or used. Sites are stored as scrambled fingerprints (salted hashes) rather than readable names. This record never leaves your device and is never sent to our servers. Recent summaries are also cached in your browser until you close it. Uninstalling the extension deletes all of this.
Policy text is processed by the Google Gemini API, subject to Google's Privacy Policy. No other third parties receive your data.
Summaries are cached indefinitely to avoid redundant API calls. No personal data is retained. You can request deletion by contacting us.
