ClipMind Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 30, 2026

Overview

ClipMind is a Chrome extension that lets you capture web pages and generate AI-powered summaries. Your privacy is the core design principle. This policy explains exactly what data is handled and how.

Data We Do NOT Collect

ClipMind does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:

• No account or registration data (no email, no name, no login)
• No browsing history
• No analytics or telemetry
• No tracking pixels or advertising IDs
• No personal information of any kind

What Data Is Stored Locally

All data is stored locally in your browser:

• Your AI API key — stored in chrome.storage.sync. This syncs across your Chrome browsers if you're signed into Chrome, but it is never sent to any server except your chosen AI provider (Groq or Gemini).
• Your clips — stored in IndexedDB inside your browser. Each clip contains: the page URL, page title, extracted page text (truncated), AI-generated summary (3 bullet points), AI-generated tags, timestamp, and page favicon URL.
• Your settings — AI provider choice (Groq or Gemini).

None of this data ever leaves your browser unless you explicitly export it.

What Data Is Sent to AI Providers

When you clip a page, ClipMind sends the following to your chosen AI provider (Groq or Gemini):

• The page title
• Extracted page text (truncated to 8,000 characters)

This is necessary to generate the AI summary. The AI provider's own privacy policy applies to this data. We recommend reviewing:

• Groq Privacy Policy
• Google Gemini Privacy Policy

ClipMind does not control what the AI provider does with this data.

Third-Party Services

ClipMind connects to the following third-party services, only when you trigger a clip:

• Groq API (api.groq.com) — if you select Groq as your provider
• Google Gemini API (generativelanguage.googleapis.com) — if you select Gemini as your provider
• Favicon loading — your browser loads favicon images from websites you clip, for display purposes only

No other third-party services are used.

Data Deletion

• Delete individual clips anytime by clicking the trash icon in the popup
• Delete all data by removing the extension from Chrome
• All data is permanently destroyed when you clear your browser data or remove the extension

Data Security

• Your API key is stored in chrome.storage.sync, which is encrypted in transit
• All clip data is stored in IndexedDB, which is sandboxed per-extension
• No data is transmitted over unencrypted connections

Children's Privacy

ClipMind does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We will update this privacy policy as needed. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
