Article Artifact Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 16, 2026

Article Artifact is a browser-local Chrome extension that turns selected article passages into visual explanations. The extension does not operate a developer backend that receives article text, prompts, generated artifacts, or API keys.

Information Stored Locally

Article Artifact stores the following data in the user's Chrome profile using Chrome extension storage:

• Provider and model settings
• API keys entered by the user
• Selected article text and compressed article context
• Generated SVG artifacts
• Prompt and provider metadata
• Feedback the user records for generated artifacts

This data remains in the user's local Chrome profile unless the user exports it or clears it.

Information Sent To AI Providers

When the user clicks Generate SVG artifact, Article Artifact sends the selected passage and compressed article context directly from the user's browser to the AI provider chosen by the user. Supported providers may include OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and Gemini.

The user's API key is sent only to the selected provider's API endpoint as part of the provider request. Article Artifact does not receive or proxy those requests.

Data Sharing

Article Artifact does not sell user data and does not use user data for advertising.

The selected AI provider may process submitted prompts, article context, and API keys according to that provider's own terms and privacy policy.

User Control

Users can:

• Use Mock mode without entering an API key.
• Clear local generation history from the extension side panel.
• Remove API keys from the side panel settings.
• Uninstall the extension to remove extension-managed local data from Chrome.
