Privacy Policy
Effective 13 November 2026
InkBridge is a Chrome extension made by Pixel Paradox Studio ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data InkBridge handles, why, and who it is shared with. In short: we collect only what is needed to translate the images you ask for and to run your account. We do not sell your data, show ads, or track your browsing.
1. Your account
To use InkBridge credits you sign in with your email address. We send you a one-time 6-digit code; there is no password. We store:
- your email address;
- your credit balance and whether you have bought Pro;
- a record of credit changes (free credits, pages translated, refunds, purchases) with dates;
- a record of each purchase: what you bought, the amount, the currency, and Stripe's reference numbers for the payment.
We use this to give you your credits, charge one credit per translated page, and handle refunds and support questions.
2. Images you translate
InkBridge looks at the images on the web pages you visit so that it can offer a Translate button. It only sends an image anywhere when you translate it: by clicking Translate or Retranslate, by using the right-click menu or a shortcut, or by turning on Auto-translate for a website (then images on that website are translated as you scroll).
Using credits
The image is sent to the InkBridge server, which passes it to our AI provider, Anthropic (Claude), and sends the translation back to you. Our server does not store your images or their translations. Anthropic processes them under its own terms and privacy policy; Anthropic does not use data sent through its commercial API to train its models.
Using your own API key (Pro)
The image goes directly from your browser to the AI provider you chose (for example Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, OpenRouter, or a custom address you enter). It does not pass through our server. Your API key is stored only in your browser and is sent only to that provider. Your use of that provider is covered by your own agreement with them.
3. Data kept on your device
InkBridge saves the following in your browser's extension storage, on your device only: your settings, your sign-in session, your API keys if you use Pro, recent translations (so a page you have already translated loads instantly without using another credit), short story notes that keep character names consistent between pages, and token-usage counts. In InkBridge's settings you can delete saved translations with Clear history and end your session with Sign out; removing the extension deletes all of it.
4. Payments
Payments are handled by Stripe. You enter your card details on Stripe's checkout page; we never see or store your card number. Stripe tells us when a payment succeeds or is refunded, so we can add or remove credits. Stripe's privacy policy covers the data Stripe collects.
5. Service providers
| Provider | What it does for InkBridge |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Hosts our server and the account database (United States). |
| Anthropic | AI model that reads and translates images when you use credits. |
| Stripe | Processes payments. |
| Resend | Delivers the sign-in code emails. |
| Netlify | Hosts this website. |
Each provider only receives the data it needs to do its job.
6. What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent your data, or share it for advertising.
- We don't use analytics or tracking in the extension, and we don't record which websites you visit.
- We don't use your data for anything unrelated to providing InkBridge, such as credit checks or lending.
InkBridge's use of data follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
7. How long we keep data
We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your email address, balance and credit history. We may keep purchase records for as long as tax and accounting laws require.
8. Your choices and rights
You can ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account at any time by emailing support@pixelparadoxstudio.com from the address you signed in with. Depending on where you live (for example in the EU, UK or California) you may have further rights under local law, and you can contact your data protection authority.
9. Children
InkBridge is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page. For significant changes we will also tell signed-in users in the extension.
