Privacy Policy
Effective November 6, 2026
- Fixsay has no server, no account, and no analytics. The developer never receives your text or your keys.
- When you choose a Fixsay action with an AI company’s key, the text you selected is sent straight from your browser to that company, and nowhere else.
- When you choose Chrome’s on-device model, that text stays on your computer. After the model is downloaded, Chrome does not send it to Google for the rewrite. This option is only offered in Google Chrome.
- Your API keys are stored only on your computer and are never synced. Updating Fixsay keeps them. Uninstalling, or Remove in settings, deletes them.
- Fixsay does not sell, share, or use your data for anything except rewriting the text you asked it to rewrite.
What Fixsay is
Fixsay is a Chrome extension that rewrites text you select on a web page: it fixes grammar, rephrases, or changes the tone. It works with Chrome’s on-device model, or with an AI provider you connect using your own API key (a secret key from that AI company).
What data Fixsay handles
| Data | When | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Text you select (website content, which may include emails or messages you're writing) | Only when you pick a Fixsay action from the right-click menu or press the Fixsay shortcut | With an AI company’s key: sent directly from your browser to that provider, together with a short instruction such as "fix grammar". With Chrome’s on-device model: handled on this computer, not sent to a website. |
| Your API keys (authentication information) | When you paste them into Fixsay settings | Saved in your browser's local extension storage on this computer. Sent only to that same provider, to authorize your requests. |
| Settings (default action, default AI, auto-switch, theme) | When you change them | Saved in Chrome's extension storage. If you're signed in to Chrome with sync on, Chrome may sync these to your other devices. They contain no keys and no text. |
| Local counters and status (number of requests this month, estimated usage, last error type) | After each request | Stored only on this computer, to show "About X requests this month" and whether each AI is ready. Never sent anywhere. |
What Fixsay does not do
- It does not read, collect, or send page content unless you pick a Fixsay action on text you selected.
- It does not store the text you rewrite, or the AI's answers, after the result panel is closed.
- It does not log your text, include analytics or tracking, show ads, or use cookies.
- It does not run a server, and it never proxies your keys or text through the developer.
- It does not sell or transfer your data, use it for advertising, or use it to decide creditworthiness or for lending.
The AI provider you choose
When you send text, the AI company you connected receives it and handles it under their privacy policy and terms. Free and paid plans can differ. Some free plans use the requests you send to improve their own models. Please review the policy of the provider you use:
- OpenAI: openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
- Google Gemini: policies.google.com/privacy and Gemini API terms
- Anthropic (Claude): anthropic.com/legal/privacy
- xAI (Grok): x.ai/legal/privacy-policy
- OpenRouter: openrouter.ai/privacy
- Groq: groq.com/privacy-policy
- Mistral: legal.mistral.ai/terms/privacy-policy
- SambaNova: sambanova.ai/privacy-policy
- Hugging Face: huggingface.co/privacy
Chrome’s on-device model
In Google Chrome you can also pick Chrome, which runs Google’s Gemini Nano model already built into that browser. There is no API key. The option is hidden in Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox, and other browsers. The first time, Chrome downloads the model onto this computer. Rewrites after that stay on the device: Chrome does not send the selected text to Google or to Fixsay to produce the answer. The model only runs on desktop Google Chrome when the computer has enough disk space and a capable graphics card or enough memory. If it can’t run here, Fixsay says so and you can pick another AI. Comparing the original text with the rewrite, to highlight what changed, happens in the panel on your computer and is not sent anywhere.
If you connect a second AI as a backup and turn on auto-switch, your text is sent to the backup provider only when the first one returns an error such as being out of credit.
Permissions
Fixsay asks only for what it needs: the right-click menu, local storage, access to the current tab after you choose a Fixsay action, clipboard access for the Copy button, and network access to the AI APIs listed above when you use one of those keys. Chrome’s on-device model does not add a network request. Its small page script runs on all sites so the panel can appear wherever you write, but it stays idle until you use Fixsay.
Your control
- Remove a key at any time in Fixsay settings (Remove, or Remove all keys).
- Updating Fixsay keeps your keys, settings, and counters on this computer.
- Uninstalling Fixsay deletes all of its locally stored data, including keys, settings and counters.
- To delete data held by an AI provider, contact that provider or use their account settings.
Children
Fixsay is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
Chrome Web Store User Data Policy
Fixsay's use of information complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Material changes will also be noted in the extension's release notes.
