Speed Life – Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 21, 2026
At a glance
- Speed Life has no servers of its own. Text you highlight goes straight from your browser to OpenAI's API — never through us.
- Your OpenAI API key and the last text you summarized are stored only in Chrome's local storage, on your device.
- We do not collect, log, sell, or transmit any personal data, browsing history, or analytics.
What data is processed
When you highlight text on a webpage, right-click, and choose "Speed Life," the highlighted text is sent directly from your browser to OpenAI's Chat Completions API at api.openai.com, authenticated with the API key you supplied. OpenAI generates a three-sentence summary, returned to the extension's popup and shown to you. No other page content — HTML, other text, cookies, or browsing activity — is read, collected, or sent anywhere.
What's stored, and where
Two values live in chrome.storage.local, private to your own browser profile: your OpenAI API key, and the most recently highlighted text (held briefly so the popup can display it). Neither is ever sent to a server we operate, because we don't operate one. Uninstalling the extension or clearing its storage removes both immediately.
Third-party processing
Summaries are generated by OpenAI, not by us. Data sent to OpenAI's API is governed by OpenAI's own privacy policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
Why each permission is needed
- contextMenus: adds the "Speed Life" option to the right-click menu when text is selected.
- storage: saves your API key and current selection locally, as described above.
- activeTab: lets the extension read which tab the selection came from, only when invoked.
- Host access to api.openai.com: allows the browser to call OpenAI's API directly to generate the summary.
Children's privacy
Speed Life is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the "last updated" date above will change with it.
