Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 28, 2026 · Effective date: June 28, 2026

1. Overview

My API Sider ("we", "our", "the extension") is a Chrome browser extension developed by Hassan Sial. This Privacy Policy explains what information My API Sider collects, how it is used, and how it is stored. The short version: we collect almost nothing, and what little is stored stays entirely on your device.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

My API Sider does not collect, store, or transmit to any server:

• Your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information
• Your API keys or authentication credentials
• Your chat history or conversation content
• Your browser history or browsing habits
• Usage analytics or telemetry data
• Device information or fingerprinting data
• IP addresses or location data

3. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The extension stores the following data exclusively in your browser's local Chrome extension storage (accessible only to the extension itself):

• API Profiles: Your configured provider names, base URLs, model selections, and API keys are stored in Chrome's sandboxed chrome.storage.local API.
• Chat History: Your conversation messages are stored in your browser's IndexedDB or localStorage. They never leave your device unless you deliberately copy them.
• User Preferences: Theme settings (dark/light mode), UI preferences, and similar configuration options.

This data is stored locally on your computer and is not accessible to us, any third party, or any remote server.

4. Data Transmitted to AI Providers

When you send a message in the chat, the extension sends that message along with any configured system prompt to the AI provider API you have selected (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek). This transmission:

• Goes directly from your browser to the AI provider. There is no proxy or intermediate server operated by us.
• Is governed by the privacy policy of the AI provider you have chosen, not by this privacy policy.
• Includes your API key in the request headers, which is transmitted securely over HTTPS to the provider.

We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of the AI providers you use with this extension.

5. This Website

This website (myapisider.online) is a static website and does not use cookies beyond those set by the contact form service (FormSubmit.co). We do not run analytics tracking on this website. The contact form, when submitted, transmits your name, email, and message to FormSubmit.co for delivery to our email address. Please review FormSubmit.co's privacy policy for details.

6. Security

Your API keys and chat data are protected by Chrome's built-in extension sandboxing. Only the My API Sider extension can access its own storage. No other extension or website can read your stored API keys. We recommend setting spending limits on your API keys through your provider's dashboard as an additional safeguard.

7. Children's Privacy

My API Sider is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through this extension, please contact us immediately.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will note the "Last updated" date at the top of this page whenever changes are made. Continued use of the extension after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
