Yeb Text: AI Comment Assistant

Chrome Extension

Last updated: April 29, 2026

What data we collect

Yeb Text processes data only when you actively use the extension. We collect and process:

  • Selected text content from social media posts when you choose to reply or create content. This text is sent to our API (api.yeb.to) to generate AI-powered responses.
  • Post images (URLs only, opt-in) when you enable the "Read images" feature. Image URLs are sent to our API for visual analysis to provide context for your replies.
  • API key stored locally in your browser to authenticate API requests.
  • Extension settings (tone, language, platform preferences) stored locally in your browser.

What data we do NOT collect

  • We do not track your browsing history.
  • We do not collect personal information (name, email, etc.) through the extension.
  • We do not sell or share your data with third parties.
  • We do not use cookies or tracking pixels in the extension.
  • We do not store generated comments on our servers beyond the API request lifecycle.

How data is processed

  1. When you click "Generate", the selected post text and your settings are sent to api.yeb.to over an encrypted HTTPS connection.
  2. Our API uses AI language models to generate a response tailored to your settings (tone, language, perspective).
  3. The generated comment is returned to your browser and displayed in the extension widget.
  4. API request metadata (timestamp, credits used) is logged for billing purposes. The actual content of your requests is not retained beyond 30 days.

Image analysis

When you opt in to "Read images":

  • Image URLs from the post are sent to our API.
  • Our API downloads the image temporarily and uses AI vision models for text extraction or image description.
  • The image is not stored permanently on our servers. Temporary copies are deleted immediately after processing.

Data storage

  • Browser storage (chrome.storage.sync): API key, presets, keyboard shortcuts, and global preferences. Synced across your Chrome profile if sync is enabled.
  • Browser storage (chrome.storage.local): Drafts — generated comments and posts you save (manually or auto-saved as "Latest"). Stored only on your device, never sent to our servers. Maximum 50 drafts retained. You can delete any draft from the widget at any time.
  • Session storage: Widget position and open/close state only. Cleared automatically when you close the tab. No sensitive content is stored.
  • No server-side storage of your content beyond the API request processing lifecycle (max 30 days for billing logs, no comment text retained).

Third-party services

  • OpenAI API: Used to generate AI responses and analyze images. Subject to OpenAI's privacy policy.
  • Yeb.to API: Our backend service that processes requests. Hosted on secure infrastructure with encrypted data transmission.

Permissions explained

  • storage: Save your API key and preferences locally in your browser.
  • activeTab: Access the current tab's content when you interact with the extension.
  • contextMenus: Add "Reply with Yeb Text" and "Create post" options to the right-click menu.
  • host_permissions (api.yeb.to): Send API requests to our backend service.
  • Content script on all URLs: The extension works on any website where you want to reply to or create content. It is not limited to major social media platforms so you can use it on blogs, forums, and niche communities.

Security

  • All communication with our API uses HTTPS encryption.
  • Your API key is stored locally and never transmitted to third parties.
  • The extension validates all inputs before sending them to the API.
  • Content scripts run in an isolated environment and cannot access other extensions' data.

Your rights

  • You can delete your API key and all local data by uninstalling the extension or clearing extension storage via Chrome settings.
  • You can disable the extension at any time from chrome://extensions.
  • You can contact us at [email protected] for any data-related requests.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
