GrammarJo Browser Extension (Firefox + Chrome)

Privacy Policy

We built GrammarJo to be transparent about data. Here's exactly what happens to your text across Firefox and Chrome — nothing hidden.

Last updated: April 2026
🔒

No data stored

We never store, log, or retain any text you process.

🖥️

Key stays local

Your API key is saved only in your browser — never sent to us.

🚫

No tracking

No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party trackers of any kind.

📡

You choose destination

Text is sent only to your selected provider: Anthropic, Ollama, or an OpenAI-compatible server.

Who We Are

GrammarJo is an independent browser extension for Firefox and Chrome that helps you fix grammar and rewrite text using a provider you choose. Supported providers include the Anthropic Claude API, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible servers (for example local or self-hosted endpoints).

GrammarJo is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Anthropic, Ollama, OpenAI, Mozilla, or Google.

The extension has no backend server, no company account system, and no user accounts. It runs entirely within your browser.

What Data Is Processed

Data Where it goes Stored?
Selected text you choose to improve Sent only to the provider you selected in settings (Anthropic, Ollama, or OpenAI-compatible server) Not by us
Provider settings (API keys, model names, server URLs) Stored only in extension local storage on your device (browser.storage.local in Firefox or chrome.storage.local in Chrome) Local only
Browsing activity, page content, URLs Never collected Never
Usage data, clicks, analytics Never collected Never
How it works technically: When you click "GrammarJo" after selecting text, only that selected text snippet is sent from your browser to your configured provider endpoint. If you use local servers (such as Ollama or a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint), processing can stay on your own machine or local network. The extension developer never sees your text.

Your Provider Credentials and Settings

Depending on your selected provider, GrammarJo may use settings such as API keys, model names, and server URLs. These are:

⚠️ Keep your credentials private. Because settings are stored in your browser profile, anyone with physical access to that profile could potentially read them. Revoke or rotate cloud API keys if needed (for example via your Anthropic or OpenAI account settings).

Provider Roles (Cloud and Local)

When text is submitted for processing, it is sent to whichever provider you configured:

Each provider is independent and may have its own privacy practices and terms. For cloud providers, review their policies before use. For local/self-hosted providers, data handling depends on your local environment and server configuration.

Reference links:

Do not use this extension to process sensitive personal data, passwords, financial information, or confidential material unless you fully trust and control the selected processing endpoint.

Permissions Explained

GrammarJo requests the following browser permissions (Firefox and Chrome manifests use equivalent permission models):

Permission Why it's needed
activeTab To detect text selections and inject the floating button into the current page
storage To save provider settings locally in extension storage
*://api.anthropic.com/*, *://localhost/*, *://127.0.0.1/* To allow requests to supported provider endpoints (Anthropic API and local/self-hosted servers)

No other permissions are requested. The extension does not request access to your bookmarks, history, downloads, tabs list, or any other sensitive browser data.

Children's Privacy

GrammarJo is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you are under 13, please do not use this extension.
