Is This AI?

Overview

Is This AI? is a Chrome extension that helps users understand whether a customer service or live chat widget on any website is powered by AI. This privacy policy explains how the extension handles user data and what information, if any, is collected.

Data Collection

The Is This AI? extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information such as names, email addresses, or account credentials. The extension performs local analysis of the current web page and network requests solely to determine whether a chat widget is likely powered by AI.

The extension analyzes:

• DOM structure and HTML attributes related to chat widgets
• Script tags and asset URLs associated with known chat and AI platforms
• Network requests to known AI APIs and chat provider endpoints

Permissions

The extension requires the following permissions to function:

• Active Tab: To read the DOM and scripts of the current page in order to identify chat widgets and AI-related integrations.
• Web Request / Host Permissions: To observe outgoing network requests from the page and detect calls to known AI APIs and chat platforms.
• Storage: To save non-personal configuration preferences (such as UI options) locally in your browser.

These permissions are used solely for the extension's core functionality of detecting AI-powered chat widgets and are not used for profiling, tracking, or selling user data.

Local Storage

The extension may store the following data locally on your device:

• Last used settings or preferences inside the popup UI
• Display options for confidence scores or signal details
• Optional feature flags or configuration values that control how detections are displayed

This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to any external servers. You can clear this data at any time by removing the extension or clearing your browser's extension data.

Third-Party Services

The Is This AI? extension itself does not send data to analytics platforms, advertising networks, or other third-party services.

While the extension inspects traffic to third-party chat and AI providers in order to detect whether a widget is AI-powered, it does not alter or intercept these requests beyond read-only inspection and does not forward this information anywhere.

Updates to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time as the extension evolves or new features are added. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the extension after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
