Privacy Policy

AI-AC (AI Accessibility Checker) · Effective 25 July 2026

AI-AC is a browser extension that checks websites for accessibility barriers and reports a score for each disability profile. This policy explains what data the extension handles, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Summary

• The accessibility rules scan runs entirely in your browser. No page data leaves your device, and nothing is sent to the developer.
• The AI vision feature is optional and off by default. It runs only if you add your own AI provider API key in Settings. When it runs, a screenshot of the page you are scanning is sent directly to the AI provider you selected, using your key.
• The developer of AI-AC operates no server, receives none of your data, and uses no analytics, tracking, or accounts.

Information the extension handles

Settings stored on your device. The extension saves your theme, selected disability profiles, and (only if you add one) your AI provider choice, model, and API key, using the browser's local extension storage. This stays on your device. Your API key is never sent to the developer and is used only to authenticate requests you initiate to the provider you configured.

Page content during a scan. When you run a scan, the extension reads the structure of the page you are viewing to perform the checks. For the rules scan this happens locally and is not transmitted anywhere.

The optional AI vision feature

If, and only if, you enable AI vision by adding your own API key, then when you run a scan a screenshot (PNG) of the page plus a short instruction prompt is sent over encrypted HTTPS to the AI provider you selected (for example Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google), authenticated with your key. That provider processes the request and returns the findings, and its own privacy policy governs how it handles the data. AI-AC does not proxy, copy, log, or retain this data, and the developer never receives it. You can disable the feature at any time in Settings by selecting "None, rules only", which removes your key.

Data sharing

The developer does not sell, rent, or share your data. The only transfer that ever occurs is the one you initiate: sending a screenshot to the AI provider you chose, when AI vision is enabled.

Data retention

Settings and your API key remain on your device until you change them or uninstall the extension. Uninstalling removes all locally stored data, including your key. The developer retains nothing, because the developer receives nothing.

Your choices

• AI vision is opt in. Leave it set to "None, rules only" to keep the extension fully local.
• Remove or change your API key at any time in Settings.
• Uninstall the extension to erase all locally stored settings.

Children's privacy

AI-AC is a developer and accessibility tool, is not directed to children, and does not knowingly collect information from children.
