Extension Privacy Policy
ClaroAI Speech Clarification — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-April-26
This Chrome extension ("ClaroAI Speech Clarification") is published by ClaroAI ("we", "us"). This policy describes what the extension does with your data.
What data we handle
Microphone audio (in-call only). When you select a target speaker in the extension window on a supported call page (Google Meet, Zoom web, Microsoft Teams web), the extension captures your microphone audio, streams it in real time to our voice-conversion service at `wss://ws.claroai.com`, and feeds the returned converted audio back into the call so other participants hear the transformed voice. No capture occurs on any other site, and no capture occurs while the extension is set to "passthrough" (the default).
What our server does with that audio. Audio frames are processed in real time and are not retained: once a frame has been converted and the result returned to your browser, the input and output are discarded. We do not use your audio to train models. We do not sell, rent, or share audio with any third party.
Local preferences. The extension uses `chrome.storage.local` to remember the currently selected target speaker, gender filter, and on/off mode between window opens. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted.
Optional local recordings. If you click "Start session recording" in the window, the extension writes two WAV files (input mic / converted output) to your Downloads folder. These files never leave your machine.
Operational logs. Our servers keep standard operational logs used for service health and debugging: connection timestamps, short per-session identifiers, the client IP address observed at connection time, chunk counts, inference timings, and error traces. These logs do not contain any audio content and do not tie connections to user accounts. Logs are retained for 7 days and then rotated out.
What we do NOT collect
-
No browsing history, cookies, page content, or form data.
-
No screen contents, camera, or files beyond the optional local WAVs above.
-
No analytics, telemetry, or advertising identifiers.
-
No personally identifiable information beyond the inbound audio stream.
Permissions we request and why
-
`activeTab`, `scripting` — inject the audio interceptor into the current call tab when you enable conversion.
-
`storage` — remember your selected speaker between window opens.
-
Host access to `meet.google.com`, `*.zoom.us`, `teams.microsoft.com`, `app.teams.microsoft.com` — the extension only runs on these call platforms.
Third parties
Audio is transmitted only to ClaroAI infrastructure (`ws.claroai.com`). No third-party analytics, CDNs, or advertising networks are contacted from the extension.
Data retention and deletion
Audio is processed in real time and not retained. Frames are held in memory only for the duration of the conversion round-trip and are discarded immediately after the converted output is sent back to your browser. No recordings, backups, or archival copies of your audio are kept on our servers.
Operational logs (see above) are retained for 7 days, after which they are rotated out automatically.
To delete local preferences, remove the extension from Chrome; Chrome clears its `chrome.storage.local` on uninstall.
