Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 8, 2026 · Effective for the HumanTap Chrome extension and this website.

HumanTap is built to be privacy-first and local by default. We designed it so you can humanize AI-generated text without sending that text to HumanTap servers.

1. Summary

  • No HumanTap cloud for the core humanizer — local processing runs on your device.
  • No tracking SDKs, no analytics pixels, no advertising identifiers in the extension.
  • No sale of data. We do not sell personal information.
  • Optional Pro API mode only contacts the OpenAI-compatible endpoint you configure, using your key.

2. What data stays on your device

The extension may store the following only in Chrome’s local storage (chrome.storage.local) on your computer:

  • Recently selected or pasted source text (so the side panel can show it)
  • Humanized result drafts in the current UI session
  • Daily free-usage counters (date + count)
  • Pro unlock flag (isPro)
  • Theme preference (light / dark)
  • Preferred writing style (Natural / Professional / Casual)
  • Optional API settings you enter: API key, base URL, model, and whether API mode is enabled

This data is not uploaded to HumanTap. Clearing extension data or uninstalling removes it.

3. Network activity

  • Default (local) mode: no network requests for humanization.
  • Optional Pro API mode: if you unlock Pro, save an API key, and enable higher-quality mode, the extension sends the text you choose to humanize to the API base URL you configure (for example OpenAI or a compatible provider). That request is governed by that provider’s privacy policy.
  • Stripe upgrade link: opening the upgrade button navigates to a Stripe Payment Link in a new tab. Stripe processes payment; HumanTap does not receive your card details in the extension.

4. Permissions explained

  • storage — save preferences, usage counters, and optional API key locally.
  • activeTab — access the current tab after you click the extension or use replace, only when you act.
  • scripting — inject a small script to replace your selection when you request it.
  • contextMenus — show “Humanize with HumanTap” on selected text.
  • sidePanel — open the HumanTap side panel UI.

A content script runs on regular web pages to show the floating “Humanize” button near your selection. It does not send page content anywhere by itself; text is only stored locally when you activate HumanTap.

5. Website

This marketing site (landing and privacy pages) is static. It does not include analytics pixels or third-party tracking scripts from HumanTap. External fonts (if loaded) may be requested from Google Fonts according to Google’s policies when you view the site in a browser.

6. Children

HumanTap is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect children’s data.

7. Changes

We may update this policy when features change. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the latest version.
