Privacy Policy

Overview

RedactPII is built on a privacy-first architecture. The Chrome extension processes all data on your device—nothing is transmitted to our servers during PII detection. This privacy policy explains what data we collect on this website and through the extension.

Chrome Extension Data

We collect nothing. The RedactPII Chrome extension:

• Makes zero network requests during PII detection
• Runs two on-device language models (0.22B parameters each) via MLX-based inference
• Stores user preferences in local IndexedDB (never transmitted)
• Does not collect telemetry, analytics, or usage data
• Does not access browsing history or other tabs
• Requests only the minimum Chrome permissions necessary for paste interception on supported AI platforms

You can verify this yourself: open Chrome DevTools, navigate to the Network tab, and observe zero outbound requests from the extension during detection.

Website Data

Analytics (opt-in only)

We use PostHog for website analytics. No analytics script is loaded until you explicitly click "Accept" on the consent banner. If you decline or ignore the banner, no analytics data is collected and no tracking scripts are loaded. If you accept, PostHog collects standard web analytics (page views, clicks, scroll depth) to help us improve the website.

Email

If you subscribe to our email updates via the ConvertKit form, we store your email address with ConvertKit (Kit) for the purpose of sending product updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Payments

Founding Member subscriptions are managed through your RedactPII account, which uses Stripe as the payment processor. We do not store your credit card information. Stripe handles card and payment data according to their privacy policy.

Authentication

Account authentication is handled by Clerk. When you create an account, Clerk manages your authentication data (email, OAuth tokens) according to their privacy policy.

Data Retention

• Extension data: stored locally on your device; deleted when you uninstall the extension
• Analytics: retained by PostHog per their data retention policies (only if you opted in)
• Email: retained by ConvertKit until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• Payment data: retained by our billing provider and Stripe per their applicable retention policies

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access any personal data we hold about you
• Delete your account and associated data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Opt out of analytics at any time by clearing your browser's local storage

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@redactpii.com.

GDPR and CCPA

We respect data protection regulations including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Our opt-in analytics approach ensures compliance: no personal data is collected without your explicit consent.
