Nichod Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-25

Nichod is a browser extension that helps you understand YouTube videos and web pages by generating AI summaries and answering questions about that content. This page explains what data Nichod handles and how.

What data Nichod collects

• The transcript text of the YouTube video you're currently watching (only when Nichod's sidebar is open).
• The readable text and title of a web page (only when you click Nichod's toolbar icon on that page).
• Questions you type or speak into Nichod's chat box.

Nichod does not collect your name, email address, browsing history, or any data from pages where you have not actively opened or activated it.

How this data is used

When you open Nichod on a video or page, the transcript/page text and your questions are sent to Nichod's own backend server, which forwards them to Google's Gemini API solely to generate a summary or answer. This data is used only to produce the response shown to you in that moment — it is not stored, logged, sold, or used to build a profile of you.

Third parties

Nichod's backend runs on Vercel, and AI processing is performed by Google's Gemini API. Both only receive the specific content needed to answer your request (the video/page text and your question), and only while you are actively using Nichod.

Voice input

If you use the microphone button, speech-to-text is performed by your browser (Chrome's built-in Web Speech API), not by Nichod directly.
