What data the extension collects

Code Explainer RU is an open source extension that does not collect or transmit your personal data.

What is stored locally on your device

In chrome.storage.sync (synced via your Google account):

Selected AI provider
Your API key for the selected provider
Settings: explanation level, language, custom prompt

This data never leaves Chrome and is not sent to the extension author's servers.

What is sent to the AI provider

When you request an explanation, the extension sends to your chosen AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google, OpenRouter, Ollama, or your own endpoint):

The text you selected or pasted from clipboard
System prompt (instructions for AI)
Current dialog history (for multi-turn)
Page domain (e.g., github.com) — for contextual explanations

This data is processed by the AI provider according to their privacy policy. The extension author has no access to this data.

What is NOT collected

No telemetry or analytics
No cookies or tracking
No advertising identifiers
No data sharing with third parties (except your chosen AI provider)

API key security

API keys are stored in chrome.storage.sync in plaintext. This is standard practice for open source browser extensions. If you're concerned about security, do not use the extension on shared devices.
