Web2Comics Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 4, 2026

Web2Comics is a Chrome extension that converts web content into comic-style summaries. This policy explains what data is processed, how it is used, and when it is shared.

1. Scope

This policy applies to the Web2Comics Chrome extension. Web2Comics does not operate a project-hosted backend server for core generation. Most data processing happens in your browser extension runtime, with outbound requests made only to providers/integrations you enable.

2. Data We Process

• Web content data: page text you select or content extracted from the active page, plus source metadata such as URL and title.
• Generation data: prompts, settings, panel captions, image prompts, and generated comic outputs.
• Credentials and connection data: API keys and OAuth tokens you provide or authorize (for configured providers and optional integrations).
• Local extension data: settings, generation history, thumbnails, and optional debug logs stored in chrome.storage.local.
• Optional social/share data: only when you explicitly use sharing features (for example posting to Facebook Page or opening X/LinkedIn/Reddit share flows).

3. How Data Is Used

• To extract and summarize content into a storyboard and images.
• To run selected AI model providers you configure in extension settings.
• To save your history/settings locally for product functionality.
• To support optional user-initiated integrations (Google Drive export, Facebook posting, X connection, external share links).
• To provide troubleshooting information when debug mode is enabled.

4. Third-Party Sharing

Web2Comics shares data only with third parties required for features you use:

• AI providers you configure: Google Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Hugging Face, Cloudflare Workers AI (requests include extracted text and generation prompts).
• Google APIs (optional): OAuth and Google Drive API for saving exported comic HTML files to your Drive when connected/enabled.
• Facebook Graph API (optional): OAuth, page retrieval, and page posting only after user action.
• X API (optional): OAuth connection management when explicitly connected; sharing may also use X web intent URLs.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Storage and Retention

• Data is primarily stored locally in chrome.storage.local.
• History is limited in-app (for example capped list size and periodic cleanup of older entries).
• Debug logs are limited to a bounded recent set and can be exported/cleared by the user.
• OAuth tokens and API keys remain until you remove/disconnect them, clear extension storage, or uninstall the extension.

6. User Controls

• Configure or remove provider keys/tokens in Options.
• Disconnect Google Drive, Facebook, and X in Options.
• Clear comic history and local data from extension settings or by uninstalling the extension.
• Choose when to share/post; sharing actions are user-initiated.

7. Security

• Network requests to providers/integrations use HTTPS endpoints.
• No remote code execution is used for core extension logic.
• You are responsible for reviewing the privacy/security terms of external providers you enable.

8. Google API Limited Use Statement

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

9. Changes To This Policy

This policy may be updated as features or integrations change. The date at the top indicates the latest revision.
