Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 11, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to TLDR News! Your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy explains how TLDR News handles your information when you use our Chrome extension.

2. No Data Collection

We do not collect, store, or share any personal data or browsing history. TLDR News operates entirely on your device, and all processing is done locally or through secure API connections that do not retain user data.

3. API Key Storage

  • TLDR News requires an API key for AI-powered summaries.
  • The API key is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to us or any third party outside of the AI service provider.
  • You have full control over your API key, and you can update or remove it at any time.

4. How TLDR News Works

  • The extension processes news articles only when you choose to summarize them.
  • No information about the articles you summarize is stored, tracked, or shared.
  • We do not use cookies, analytics, or tracking technologies.

5. Third-Party Services

If TLDR News uses an external AI service to generate summaries, we ensure that:

  • Only the text of the article you choose to summarize is sent.
  • No personal information is included in summary requests.
  • The AI service provider does not retain or misuse your data.

6. Security

Although we do not collect any data, we take security seriously:

  • Your API key is stored locally and is not accessible by us.
  • Secure protocols are used for all communications with AI services.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected with an updated "Effective Date."
