Distill — Privacy Policy / 隐私政策

Summary

Distill is a browser extension that extracts structured knowledge points from AI chat conversations.

Distill has no backend server of its own, does not collect telemetry, does not use analytics, and does not sell or share any user data.

What data Distill handles

1. API keys you configure

(Claude / OpenAI / DeepSeek / Qwen / Moonshot / Doubao / GLM)

Stored only via chrome.storage.sync (encrypted at rest by your browser, synced across your own signed-in Chrome profile)
Never transmitted anywhere except to the corresponding AI provider's official API endpoint when you trigger an extraction

2. Conversation content on supported AI chat pages

(ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Kimi, Doubao, Qwen, Wenxin, Spark)

Read only when you explicitly trigger an extraction (toolbar button or Ctrl+Shift+E)
Sent directly from your browser to the AI provider you selected (no intermediary server)

3. Extracted knowledge points and source URL

Stored locally via chrome.storage.local on your device
Never transmitted anywhere; fully under your control (edit, delete, or clear at any time)

What Distill does NOT do

Does not run a backend, database, or proxy server of its own
Does not collect analytics, telemetry, crash reports, or usage statistics
Does not read any page other than the supported AI chat pages, and only when you explicitly trigger extraction
Does not share, sell, or disclose your data to third parties
Does not use cookies or tracking pixels

Third-party AI providers

When you trigger extraction, your API key and the conversation text are sent directly from your browser to the AI provider you chose in settings. That request is governed by the provider's own privacy policy:

You are responsible for choosing a provider you trust.
