Privacy Policy

Amie Chrome Extension  ·  Last updated: March 2026

Who we are

Amie is a Chrome extension that provides a private AI assistant powered by Gemini Nano, Chrome's on-device AI model. This policy explains what data Amie accesses and how it is handled.

Data Amie accesses

To provide its features, Amie may access:

• Page content — the text of the current web page, when you use the "Summarise this page" or related context menu actions.
• Selected text — text you have highlighted on a page, when you invoke a context menu action on it.
• Your chat messages — the messages you type into Amie's chat interface.
• Preferences — your chosen response style (Focused, Balanced, or Creative), colour theme, appearance, selected voice, and speak-responses setting.
• Conversation history — previous messages within the current session, used to maintain context.

How that data is used

All data listed above is passed directly to Gemini Nano, which runs entirely on your device inside Chrome. It is used solely to generate AI responses within the extension.

None of this data is:

• Sent to Amie's developer or any third party
• Stored on any external server
• Used for advertising, analytics, or profiling
• Shared with data brokers or resellers

Local storage

Amie uses Chrome's local storage API to save your preferences and conversation history on your own device. This data never leaves your computer and is cleared automatically when you uninstall the extension.

Gemini Nano (Chrome's built-in AI)

AI processing is performed by Gemini Nano, a model built into Chrome by Google. This model runs locally and does not require an internet connection to function. For information about how Google handles Gemini Nano, refer to Google's Privacy Policy.

Permissions

Amie requests the following Chrome permissions, each used only for the purpose described:

• sidePanel — to display the chat interface in Chrome's side panel.
• storage — to save your preferences and conversation history locally on your device.
• activeTab — to access the current tab's content when you explicitly request a summary or use a context menu action.
• scripting — to extract the text content of a page when you request a summary or use a context menu action.
• contextMenus — to provide right-click actions such as "Summarise", "Explain", and "Fix grammar".

Children's privacy

Amie is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL with a revised date. Continued use of Amie after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Contact

If you have questions about this policy, please open an issue on the extension's support page or contact the developer directly via the Chrome Web Store listing.

This policy applies to the Amie Chrome Extension. It does not apply to any third-party services, including Chrome or Google's own services.
