Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 29, 2026

PointDexter is a study buddy that explains text on web pages. This policy explains, in plain language, what happens to your data when you use it. PointDexter has no accounts and does not ask for your name, email, or any personal identifier.

What we process

PointDexter only sends text off your device when you ask it to do something:

• The text you highlight, plus a small amount of nearby text for context, when you ask for an explanation.
• The title and URL of the current page, so the answer can account for context. These are sent only with your request and are not stored.
• The visible text of the current page, when you use Ask about this page.
• Text you copy, when you use Explain copied text, or the double Ctrl+C shortcut if you turn it on (it is off by default).

This text is sent only to generate your answer. It is not used for anything else.

Where it goes

Your request passes through our proxy hosted on Cloudflare, which forwards it to an AI provider (such as Groq, Cerebras, Gemini, SambaNova, Mistral, or Cloudflare Workers AI) to generate the answer. Those providers process the text to return a response. We do not store the content of your selections, pages, or clipboard on our servers. Your IP address is visible to Cloudflare for security and rate limiting, as it is for any normal web request.

What stays on your device

Your settings (appearance, visibility, the double Ctrl+C preference, muted sites, and the buddy position) and a daily usage count are stored locally in your browser using chrome.storage. They stay on your device, sync only through your own browser account if you have sync on, and are not readable by us.

What we do not do

• No advertising, analytics, or tracking.
• No selling or sharing of your data.
• No profile of you or your browsing.

Permissions, briefly

• Access to web pages: so the buddy can read the text you select or the page you ask about, in order to explain it.
• Clipboard read: so it can explain text you copy, and only when you trigger that action.
• Storage: to remember your settings on your device.

A note on sensitive text

Because your selection is sent to an AI provider to be explained, please avoid using PointDexter on secrets such as passwords or private keys.

Children

PointDexter is not directed at children under 13.
