Last updated: January 2026

Overview

ParsiPad is a browser extension that provides AI-powered translation to and from Persian. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Data Collection and Storage

What We Store Locally

All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's storage API:

• API Key: Your Anthropic API key is stored locally in Chrome's secure storage. It is never sent to any server other than Anthropic's API.
• Translation History: Recent translations (up to 50 entries) are stored locally for your convenience.
• Translation Cache: Recent translations are cached locally to reduce API calls and improve response times.

What We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect any personal information
• We do not use analytics or tracking
• We do not share any data with third parties (except Anthropic for translation)
• We do not store your data on any external servers

Data Transmission

Text Sent to Anthropic API

When you request a translation, the selected text is sent to Anthropic's Claude API for processing. This is necessary for the translation functionality to work.

• Text is sent directly from your browser to Anthropic's servers
• We do not intercept or store the transmitted data
• Anthropic's privacy policy applies to data sent to their API: https://www.anthropic.com/privacy

Your API Key

• Your API key is sent directly to Anthropic with each translation request
• The key is never sent to any other server
• The key is stored securely in Chrome's local storage

Data Security

• All communication with Anthropic's API uses HTTPS encryption
• Your API key and translation history never leave your device (except API key sent to Anthropic)
• We use Chrome's built-in secure storage mechanisms

User Rights

You have full control over your data:

• View: You can view your translation history in the extension popup
• Delete: You can clear your translation history at any time
• Remove: Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored data
