What leaves your device, and when
Effective date: 2026-09-05 · Last updated: 2026-09-05
ReplyWink collects nothing. No analytics, no telemetry, no developer-operated servers. This page describes the only two kinds of data movement that exist in the product: storage on your device, and AI requests you trigger yourself.
Stored on your device only
The extension keeps the following in chrome.storage.local — deliberately never in synced storage, so nothing travels through your Google account:
- AI provider settings — which provider you use, its endpoint URL, and your API key (masked in the options UI)
- Account context — positioning text, product names, and goals you enter during setup, used to personalize drafts
- Prompt templates you create or edit
- Reply ledger — a local record of posts you have already handled, so the same post or author is not suggested twice
Uninstalling the extension deletes all of it.
Sent to third parties, only at your request
When you trigger scoring or draft generation, the text of posts visible on the page — plus your account context — is sent to the AI provider endpoint you configured yourself:
- Anthropic's API, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenAI, OpenRouter, a proxy you control)
- A gateway on your own machine (
localhost), for fully local inference
Which endpoint receives data — and under which account and API key — is entirely your choice and configuration. Requests to remote endpoints use HTTPS. We never see this traffic and cannot access it.
What we never do
- Collect personal information (name, email, identifiers)
- Track browsing outside the sites the extension runs on (x.com, twitter.com, reddit.com)
- Place cookies, run analytics, or transmit data without your explicit action
- Post, comment, or send anything on your behalf — the extension is copy-only by design
Your choices
- View and clear all stored data from the options page, or by uninstalling
- Point the extension at a fully local AI gateway so post content never leaves your machine
- Use the mark layer without generating drafts
Changes to this policy
We update this page and the date above whenever the extension's data handling changes.
