Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 27, 2026

PeekLink AI is a Chrome extension that generates AI-powered previews of links you hover over or right-click. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we don't.

1. What we collect

Account information

When you sign in with Google, we receive your email address, display name, and profile photo URL from Google Sign-In. These are stored in Firebase Authentication.

URLs you preview

When you trigger a preview (by hovering or via the right-click menu), the URL of the link is sent to our backend so we can fetch and summarize it. The summary is cached so repeat lookups are fast.

Operational data

We log basic request metadata (timestamps, error codes) to operate the service and prevent abuse.

2. What we don't collect

We do not collect or store your browsing history.
We do not read or transmit the content of pages you visit.
We do not sell or rent your data to anyone.
We do not use your data to train AI models.

3. How URLs are processed

When you trigger a preview, the URL is sent to our backend (running on Firebase Cloud Functions). The backend fetches the page, extracts metadata and content, and asks an AI model to produce a short summary. The result is stored in a shared cache (/previews) keyed by URL so other users requesting the same link get an instant response.

Cached summaries are tied to the URL, not to you. Your identity is not attached to cache entries.

4. Third-party services

Google Sign-In — used for authentication. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
Firebase (Google Cloud) — hosts our authentication, database, and serverless functions.
AI provider — the URL and extracted page content are sent to a third-party AI model to generate the summary. The provider does not retain prompts for training under our contract.

5. Data retention

Cached previews are kept indefinitely so the cache stays useful, but they contain no personal information beyond the public URL itself. If you sign out and request account deletion, we'll remove your account record within 30 days.

6. Your rights

You can sign out at any time from the extension popup, which stops any further URL submissions. To request access, export, or deletion of any personal data we hold, contact us at the email below.

7. Security

All traffic between the extension and our backend is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Access to the cache and per-user records is enforced by Firestore security rules — only authenticated users with verified email addresses can read cache entries, and only you can read your own private records.

8. Children

PeekLink AI is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the extension after a change means you accept the updated policy.
