InkforgeInkforge Privacy Policy
The short version: Inkforge runs entirely in your browser. PinPixels has no server, collects no analytics, and never receives your documents, articles, keys or personal data. Inkforge is free; the optional "Buy me a coffee" link simply opens that website, and Inkforge shares nothing with it.
What Inkforge processes
The files and text you import (PDF, Markdown, images), the article it produces, and the settings you enter. All of this is processed locally on your device.
Where it is stored
Your settings (including any API keys or tokens you enter), recent articles and an article waiting to be pasted into Medium are kept in your browser's extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your device only. Uninstalling the extension deletes them. Nothing is synced to PinPixels.
When data leaves your device
Only when you use a feature that needs a third-party service, and only to that service:
| Feature (opt-in) | Sent to | What is sent |
|---|---|---|
| AI assist | The provider you choose: Anthropic, OpenAI or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or your own local Ollama | Article text or diagram text needed for the request, with your API key |
| GitHub image hosting / GitHub Pages | GitHub (api.github.com), to the repository you configure | Generated images and the article page, with your GitHub token |
| Send to Medium editor | Your own Medium tab in your browser | The article you chose to paste. Inkforge does not call Medium's servers itself; Medium receives content only when it is pasted into your draft. |
Those services handle the data under their own privacy policies. Inkforge does not sell, share, or transfer user data to anyone else, and does not use it for advertising, creditworthiness or any purpose unrelated to the features above.
Permissions
Side panel shows the app. Storage keeps settings and drafts locally. Clipboard write lets you copy articles and images. Context menu adds "Convert selection with Inkforge". Network access is limited to the services listed above. Access to other hosts is requested only if you enter a custom AI endpoint. A script runs on medium.com only to show the paste panel inside your own draft.
Children
Inkforge is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published here with a new effective date.
Inkforge is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Medium (A Medium Corporation). "Medium" is a trademark of its owner and is used only to describe compatibility.
