Tokiglot Buddy Extension
Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 14, 2025
Tokiglot Buddy is a Chrome extension that adds a bilingual subtitle overlay to Netflix and YouTube to help you learn English naturally. Here's exactly what we do — and don't do — with your data.
What we collect
- Account info — Your Google account email and display name, via Google Sign-In, to sync your saved phrases across devices.
- Saved phrases & words — Subtitle phrases you explicitly save by clicking the star button. Stored in your personal Firestore database.
- Extension preferences — Settings like listening mode and subtitle visibility, stored locally in your browser via
chrome.storage.local.
What we never collect
- Your Netflix or YouTube viewing history
- Payment or account information from Netflix or YouTube
- Any data from websites other than Netflix and YouTube
- Your data is never sold or shared with third parties for advertising
How we use your data
- Google Sign-In — Only to authenticate you and link your phrases to your account on study.tokiglot.com.
- Saved phrases — Synced to Firebase Firestore so you can study them on the Tokiglot platform. Only you can access your phrases.
- AI dictionary lookups — If you use the AI context feature, the tapped word is sent to the Anthropic API. No other page content is sent. Requires your own API key, stored locally only.
- OCR subtitles — If the OCR fallback activates for videos without text tracks, only the subtitle area is captured and sent to OCR.space. No other screen content is used.
Data storage & security
Saved phrases are stored in Google Firebase Firestore under your authenticated user ID, encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. Extension preferences stay in your browser and are never transmitted.
Children's privacy
Tokiglot Buddy is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Your rights
You can delete your saved phrases and account data at any time by contacting us at hello@tokiglot.com. Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored preferences immediately.
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy, we'll update the date above. Continued use of the extension after changes means you accept the updated policy.
