Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 4, 2026
Flexo ("we", "our", or "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you use Flexo and how that information is handled.
1. What Flexo Does
Flexo is a Chrome extension that helps users improve spelling, grammar, clarity and writing style directly inside text fields on websites. The extension only processes text after an explicit action from the user, such as pressing Ctrl + Enter.
2. Information We Process
When you request a correction, Flexo processes only the text necessary to generate the requested result. This text is securely transmitted to OpenAI's API in order to provide writing suggestions and improvements.
Flexo does not collect your browsing history, passwords, payment information or the contents of websites beyond the text you explicitly choose to improve.
3. Local Storage
Flexo uses Chrome's Storage API to save a limited number of user preferences locally on your device, including:
- Your selected writing tone
- Extension preferences required for normal operation
These settings remain on your device and are used solely to improve your experience.
4. Third-Party Services
To provide its core functionality, Flexo securely sends the submitted text to OpenAI's API for processing. The transmitted data is used only to generate the requested writing improvement.

5. Data Usage
Flexo does not:
- Sell your personal information.
- Use your data for advertising.
- Create advertising profiles.
- Track your browsing activity across websites.
Data is processed solely to provide the writing assistance requested by the user.
6. Permissions
Flexo requires permission to access web pages because it operates directly inside editable text fields across websites. This permission is used exclusively to detect editable text areas and provide writing assistance when requested.
7. Security
Communications between Flexo, its backend services and OpenAI are performed over encrypted HTTPS connections. Reasonable technical measures are used to protect transmitted information.
8. Your Control
You decide when Flexo is used. The extension only processes text after an explicit user action.
9. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page together with an updated revision date.
