TrueScope is a Chrome extension designed to help you fact-check news articles and political claims directly in your browser. By analyzing selected text, our extension provides credibility assessments and evidence-based insights to help you identify potential bias and verify claims. This privacy policy outlines what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your privacy.
User-Selected Text: When you use the "Analyze with TrueScope" context menu, we collect the text you select in your browser.
Local Settings: We store your configuration preferences (maximum evidence count, source preferences) in Chrome's local storage on your device only.
We do not use your data for any purpose other than providing this analysis service.
On Your Device: Your local settings are stored only in Chrome's local storage and never leave your computer.
On Our Server: Analyzed text is processed in real-time and is not retained or saved after analysis. We do not store, sell, or share your data with third parties.
We do not share, sell, or disclose your data to any third parties except as necessary to operate our analysis backend.
Since we do not retain analyzed text, there is no data to request deletion of. Your local settings can be cleared by uninstalling the extension or clearing Chrome's local storage.
You can uninstall the extension at any time to stop data collection.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
