Privacy Policy for OutloudAI Chrome Extension

Last Updated: December 1, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how the OutloudAI Chrome Extension ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our browser extension.

Data Collection and Usage

We respect your privacy and authorize the collection of data only when necessary to provide our service. Based on the data usage we collect the following data:

Website Content

We collect the URL (web address) of the specific page or link you choose to send to OutloudAI.

• How it is used: When you click the extension icon or use the context menu to "Send to OutloudAI", the URL is sent to our servers (`https://api.outloudai.app`) to extract the article text and convert it to speech.
• User Action: This only happens when you explicitly trigger the action. We do not track your browsing history or collect URLs of pages you visit without your interaction.

Authentication Information

We store your Telegram Username and an Authentication Token locally in your browser's storage (`chrome.storage.local`).

• Purpose: This allows us to link your extension to your Telegram account so that the generated audio can be sent to your personal chat.
• Storage: This data is stored locally on your device and is only transmitted to our API to authenticate your requests.

Data Handling and Disclosures

We are committed to protecting your data:

1. No Sale of Data: We do not sell or transfer your user data to third parties outside of the approved use cases (providing the text-to-speech service).
2. Single Purpose: We do not use or transfer your data for purposes unrelated to the extension's core functionality of converting articles to audio.
3. No Credit Checks: We do not use or transfer your data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.

processing

The article content is processed by our servers and may be processed by third-party providers (such as OpenAI) strictly for the purpose of text-to-speech conversion.
