AI Comment Suggester reads the text and images of a social media post you choose to analyze (by clicking its "✨ AI Suggest" button, or via the extension popup) and sends that content to Google's Gemini API, using your own Gemini API key, to generate suggested comments.
What data is collected
Gemini API key: the key you enter in Settings is stored using Chrome's storage.sync` API, which keeps it locally in your browser profile (and syncs it across your own signed-in Chrome instances via your Google account). It is never sent to any server operated by the developer of this extension.
Post content (text/images): when you click "AI Suggest" on a post, the
visible text and one representative image from that specific post are sent directly from your browser to Google's Generative Language API (`generativelanguage.googleapis.com`) using your API key, solely to generate comment suggestions. This content is not stored by the extension and is not sent to any server other than Google's Gemini API.
Preferences: your chosen tone, model, and number of suggestions are stored locally via `storage.sync`.
What data is NOT collected
What data is NOT collected This extension does not collect, transmit, or sell any browsing history, personal identifiers, credentials (other than the Gemini API key you provide), analytics, or usage data to the developer or any third party other than Google's Gemini API (as required to provide the extension's core function).
Third-party services
Post content and prompts are sent to Google's Gemini API (`https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com`) under Google's own privacy policy and terms: https://policies.google.com/privacy and
https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms
Permissions justification
- `storage`: save your API key and preferences locally.
- `activeTab` / `scripting`: read the currently active tab's content only
when you trigger an analysis from the popup.
- `host_permissions` (`` + Gemini API domain): required so the
content script can detect comment sections on whatever site you're
browsing, and so the extension can fetch post images and call the Gemini API directly from your browser.
Data retention
No post content, comments, or API keys are retained by the extension developer. Your API key and settings persist only in your own browser's Chrome sync storage until you remove them (Settings page or by uninstalling the extension).
