Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Glean includes a public website, an authenticated dashboard, and a Chrome extension that help you turn saved content into actionable tasks. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it.

1. Data We Collect

Depending on what you choose to use, we collect:

• URLs you capture: The URL you choose to save (an X post, a YouTube video, or any page) via the Glean button, right-click menu, or keyboard shortcut.
• Google account info: Your name, email, and profile photo from Google Sign-In, used for authentication.
• Usage data: We count captures per week to enforce plan and fair-use limits and prevent abuse.
• Public website analytics, only after you consent: Google Analytics receives the public page path, device and browser information, and an approximate region. We label these events with tryglean_marketing so we can separate this website from other Doved Studio sites.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your browsing history.
• We do not track pages in your authenticated dashboard, sign-in flow, or CLI approval flow.
• We do not read or store any page content unless you explicitly capture it.
• We do not load Google Analytics or set its measurement cookies until you allow analytics.
• We do not use analytics for advertising or personalization.
• We do not sell any data to third parties.

3. How We Use Your Data

• Captured URLs are sent to our backend (Firebase Cloud Functions) for AI processing to extract actionable todo items.
• Authentication data is used to identify your account and associate captures with your projects.
• Usage counts are used to enforce Pro access and abuse-prevention rate limits.
• Public website analytics help us learn which marketing, blog, guide, comparison, and free-tool pages help visitors.

4. Data Storage

Your data is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore) with the following protections:

• Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest.
• Firestore security rules ensure you can only access your own data.
• We use Firebase Authentication for secure sign-in.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to process your captures:

• Google Firebase: Authentication, database, and cloud functions.
• AI APIs (Grok, Gemini): To analyze captured content and generate todo items. Only the captured URL/content is sent, never your personal data.
• GitHub (optional): If you connect GitHub, we sync your todos as GitHub issues to repositories you select.
• Google Analytics (optional): If you allow analytics, Google measures visits to public pages. We disable Google signals and advertising personalization, omit URL query strings, and never send your account, captured content, tasks, or dashboard activity.

6. Your Analytics Choice

Google Analytics stays off until you choose “Allow analytics.” You can open “Analytics settings” on any public Glean page and turn analytics off. When you revoke consent, we disable collection, remove the analytics script, and clear the Google Analytics cookies that this site can access.

7. Chrome Extension Permissions

• storage: To save your authentication state and capture history locally.
• identity: For Google Sign-In.
• contextMenus: To add "Glean this page/link" to the right-click menu.
• activeTab: To get the current tab's URL when you use the keyboard shortcut or context menu.
• scripting: To show confirmation toasts on pages after capture.
• Host permissions (twitter.com, x.com, youtube.com): To inject the capture button on these sites.

8. Data Deletion

You can delete your data at any time:

• Sign out from the extension to clear local data.
• Contact us to request complete account and data deletion.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
