Privacy Policy

Iran Amplifier is designed with privacy as a core principle. We operate no servers and collect no data.

No servers We have no backend infrastructure. Nothing to hack, nothing to subpoena.
No data collection Zero analytics, zero telemetry, zero tracking.
Local-only storage All settings and stats stay on your device.
Direct API calls Your browser talks directly to OpenAI/Anthropic. No middlemen. The AI provider may log requests per their policies.
Full control You choose what arguments to use, what to generate, and what to post.
Open source Every line of code is auditable on GitHub.

Your API Key is Safe

Your API key NEVER touches our servers.

Here's exactly what happens with your API key:

  1. You enter it in the extension settings
  2. It's stored in your browser's local storage (on YOUR device only)
  3. When you generate a response, it's sent DIRECTLY to OpenAI/Anthropic
  4. We have NO servers - there's nowhere for us to store or see your key

We physically cannot:

  • See your API key
  • Access your API key
  • Store your API key remotely
  • Use your API key
  • Share your API key

Verify this yourself:

  • The extension is open source: GitHub
  • Check the network tab in browser DevTools - only calls go to api.openai.com or api.anthropic.com
  • Search the codebase - there are no calls to any other servers

Cookies & Tracking

We use NO cookies whatsoever.

  • No tracking cookies
  • No analytics cookies
  • No session cookies
  • No third-party cookies

We use NO tracking technologies:

  • No pixel trackers
  • No fingerprinting
  • No analytics scripts (Google Analytics, etc.)
  • No advertising networks
  • No social media trackers

The extension uses only browser.storage.local to store your settings and usage statistics locally on your device. This is NOT a cookie - it's browser extension storage that never leaves your device.

Data Storage (Local Only)

The following data is stored only in your browser:

  • Provider - OpenAI or Anthropic selection
  • Model - Selected AI model
  • Custom Prompt - Your style preferences
  • Selected Arguments - Talking points to use

Data Transmission

To AI Providers (OpenAI or Anthropic)

When you click "Amplify", the following is sent to your chosen AI provider:

  • Post text (required to generate relevant response)
  • Author name/handle (provides context)
  • Quoted post if any (provides full context)
  • Your custom prompt (defines response style)
  • Conversation history (enables iterative refinement)
  • Selected arguments and CTAs

Important: Your API key authenticates these requests. The extension makes direct API calls - no data passes through any intermediate server.

To GitHub API

On extension startup and daily thereafter, anonymous GET requests are made to:

  • Check for new versions
  • Fetch remote configuration

No user data is transmitted.

Third-Party Data Processing

Response generation is powered by your choice of OpenAI or Anthropic APIs.

OpenAI may retain API data for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring. They do not use API data to train models. See their Privacy Policy.

Anthropic retains API data per their data retention policies. See their Privacy Policy.

  • Access: View all data stored by the extension in Dashboard
  • Rectification: Edit your settings at any time
  • Erasure: "Clear All Extension Data" removes everything
  • Portability: Data is stored in standard browser storage format

Our position: Since we do not operate servers or store personal data, there is no data to access, rectify, or delete from our systems. All data remains on your device.
