TLDR Sidebar — Privacy Policy
Last updated June 17, 2026
No server
There is no TLDR Sidebar server. The developer never receives, stores, or accesses your data. Your page content goes directly from your browser to OpenRouter using your own API key, and only when you click Summarize.
What it accesses
The current page's title, URL, and text — read only when you click Summarize — plus your OpenRouter API key, model choice, and custom prompt.
Where data goes
On Summarize, the page text is sent over HTTPS to OpenRouter, authenticated with your key, to generate the summary. Nothing else is transmitted. There are no analytics or trackers.
Storage
Settings (API key, model, prompt) are stored with chrome.storage.local — on your device only, not synced to your Google account. Summaries are cached for the current session and then cleared.
Your control
Nothing runs until you click Summarize. Remove your API key in settings, or uninstall the extension, to delete all stored data.
