Privacy Policy

Introduction

Contexly is a browser extension that provides AI-generated context notes for social media posts. We respect your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

Data We Collect

• API keys — Stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage.local). Never sent to our servers.
• Post content — When you click "Context", the post text and metadata are sent to our backend to generate context. We do not store post content beyond the cache duration (72h).
• Cache — We cache context results (keyed by URL hash, not content) for up to 72h to reduce latency and API costs. Cache entries are anonymous — no user identifier is attached.
• No accounts, no tracking — We don't require accounts, don't use cookies, and don't track you across sites.

Third-Party Services

• Anthropic / OpenAI / Google — Your API key is used to call the LLM provider you selected. Their privacy policies apply to those API calls.
• Tavily — We use Tavily Search API to find sources. The search query is derived from the post content. Tavily's privacy policy applies.
• Cloudflare Workers — Our backend runs on Cloudflare. Cloudflare's privacy policy applies to infrastructure.

Data Storage

All user settings (API keys, language preference) are stored locally in chrome.storage.local. Server-side cache uses Cloudflare KV. Cache entries contain only the context note and source URLs, keyed by a SHA-256 hash of the post URL. No personally identifiable information is stored.

Your Rights

You can clear all local data by removing the extension. Cache entries expire automatically after 72 hours.

Changes

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