In one line

This extension does its work in your browser. We collect no personal data, run no analytics or ad trackers, load no remote code, and never sell data to anyone.

What it does

You select a passage and ask it to summarize, explain or translate. In the free co-pilot mode it prepares a prompt and opens your chosen AI website for you to paste into — nothing is sent to us. In the optional on-screen AI mode, using your own API keys, the selected text is sent directly from your browser to the AI provider you configured (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or Groq) under that provider’s terms.

Data that leaves your device

  • A random device ID and your activation code → the Noterva licensing server, to validate your license.
  • Your selected text → the AI provider you configured, only in optional API mode when you act on a passage.

Your API keys are stored only in your browser and are never sent to Noterva. In free mode no selected text is sent to us or any provider by the extension.

Browser permissions

  • storage — save your settings and API keys locally (keys never leave your browser except to your chosen AI provider).
  • activeTab, scripting — read the passage you select and show the result on the current page when you invoke it.
  • contextMenus — add the right-click summarize/explain/translate actions.
  • Host: all sites — let you act on selected text on any page; it reads text only when you invoke it.

What we do not collect

No browsing history, no page content beyond what a feature needs, no personal identity, no analytics or telemetry.

Storage, retention & your rights

Local data stays in your browser until you clear it or uninstall. Server-side we keep only your license record (and, for Reference Manager sync, your library) while your account is active. You may ask to view or delete any data we hold, in line with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. Transfers use HTTPS; the extension contains no secrets.
