Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 7, 2026

Glean ("we", "our", "the extension") is a Chrome extension that helps you turn tweets and YouTube videos into actionable todos. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

1. Data We Collect

When you use Glean, we collect the following data only when you explicitly initiate a capture:

• URLs you capture: The tweet URL or YouTube video URL you choose to save 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: Number of captures per week for enforcing plan limits.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your browsing history.
• We do not track which pages you visit.
• We do not read or store any page content unless you explicitly capture it.
• We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking.
• 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 free-tier limits (3 captures/week).

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 — no personal data.
• GitHub (optional): If you connect GitHub, we sync your todos as GitHub issues to repositories you select.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Changes to This Policy

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