Overview

Wikipedia to Grokipedia ("the Extension") is a browser extension that provides alternative perspectives on Wikipedia articles by redirecting to or linking to Grokipedia.com. This privacy policy explains how the Extension handles user data.

Data Collection

The Extension does NOT collect, store, transmit, or share any personal user data.

The Extension only stores user preferences locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage system. These preferences include:

The Extension does not knowingly collect any information from children. Since no data is collected, this Extension is safe for users of all ages.
