PageQuizzer Privacy Policy

Overview

PageQuizzer is a Chrome extension that turns web pages, PDFs, pasted text, and selected text into practice quizzes. It stores your quiz state locally in Chrome storage and does not run analytics, ads, or background data collection.

Data Collected and Stored

PageQuizzer stores the following data in chrome.storage.local on your device:

• API keys for Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google Gemini. Ollama does not require an API key.
• Quiz history, including source URLs, quiz scores, timestamps, and topic tags
• Document progress for long-form content, including which sections you have already quizzed
• Per-question performance data, tracked by a content hash so the extension can remember how often a question was seen or answered correctly
• In-progress quiz state for each browser tab

PageQuizzer also uses chrome.storage.sync for non-sensitive settings. These include your selected provider, selected model, timer duration, question count, and related quiz preferences such as question density. The configured base URL is also synced as a setting. API keys, page URLs, quiz content, browsing history, and progress data are not synced across devices.

Data Sent Externally

When you generate a quiz, PageQuizzer sends the extracted page text to the AI provider you selected so it can create quiz questions and categorize the content by topic. The extension also sends that provider's API key in the request headers when the provider requires one.

• Anthropic privacy policy - used when you choose Anthropic
• OpenAI privacy policy - used when you choose OpenAI
• Google privacy policy - used when you choose Google Gemini
• Ollama - self-hosted by you. Requests go to your configured Ollama server, which defaults to http://localhost:11434.

No other network requests are made by the extension. There is no analytics, telemetry, or tracking service.
