Privacy

Steeped has no account system and no Steeped server. Settings, history, and your Anthropic key stay in Chrome.

The extension does not collect personal information through a Steeped server because Steeped does not operate one.

When you use Steeped, the extension may process:

• the content of the page you choose to summarize
• your summary preferences and settings
• your Anthropic API key
• locally stored summary history and exports

Steeped stores the following locally in chrome.storage.local:

• Anthropic API key
• settings and preferences
• local summary history
• panel UI state

When you ask for a summary or follow-up response, relevant page text and prompt data are sent directly from your browser to Anthropic's API.

Steeped does not route that data through a Steeped server.

The extension does not use analytics, telemetry, or usage tracking.

The public website at steeped.page uses Cloudflare Web Analytics. It is cookieless and reports aggregate page views so we can understand basic site traffic.

If you sign up for updates on the website, we collect the email address you enter and the signup source. Newsletter data is handled by Loops and stays separate from the extension.

You can unsubscribe from any update email.

Steeped uses third-party services and infrastructure:

• Anthropic API, for language model responses
• Google Chrome and Chrome Web Store infrastructure
• GitHub Pages, for the public website
• Cloudflare, for DNS, email routing, and website analytics
• Loops, for optional email updates from the website

Your use of Anthropic's API is also subject to Anthropic's terms and privacy practices.

Your Anthropic API key is stored locally in Chrome extension storage. It is not encrypted by a Steeped-managed key service because Steeped does not run a server.

You are responsible for keeping access to your browser profile and device secure.

Steeped may save summary history locally so you can revisit prior results. You can delete local history inside the extension or by clearing extension data in Chrome.

Uninstalling the extension should remove its local extension data, subject to Chrome's platform behavior.

• activeTab reads the current page when you ask Steeped to summarize.
• storage saves settings and history locally.
• scripting injects extraction logic when needed.
• contextMenus adds the right-click command that opens Steeped for the current page.

Steeped is built to reduce unnecessary data handling, but no software can guarantee perfect security. Do not summarize content you are not comfortable sending to Anthropic's API.

Steeped is not directed to children.
