We rewrite your text. We never keep it.
Runs on our own model. Your text never goes to OpenAI, Anthropic, or any third party.
Summary in one line: RefineIQ rewrites your text on our own secure backend — not a wrapper around someone else's API. Your text is sent over HTTPS, rewritten, and dropped. We never store it, never log it, and never train any model on it. Voice Draft audio is transcribed on your device and never leaves your machine.
Who operates RefineIQ
RefineIQ is a product of oblivioX. Rewriting runs on our own model, hosted on a secure RefineIQ backend — not OpenAI, not Anthropic, not any third-party service. That backend exists to do one thing: take the text you send, rewrite it, and return the result. It does not keep a copy.
What we collect
No analytics, no tracking, no ads. RefineIQ has no telemetry, no crash reporting, and no advertising identifiers. To rewrite text you sign in with a RefineIQ account, which uses an email and a credit balance. Each cloud rewrite spends one credit. We do not profile you, sell data, or build an ad profile. We never store the text you rewrite.
After you uninstall (optional): Chrome may open a short feedback page on this site so you can tell us why you left. The link carries only static campaign tags (utm_source=extension&utm_medium=uninstall) so this site's own analytics can count uninstall visits, never an identifier or your text. Sending anything from the page is voluntary. It composes an email in your own mail app, happens outside the extension, and you should never include text you were rewriting.
Data stored on your device
All of the following stays in your browser's local extension storage and is never synced to a Google account or transmitted:
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Settings: mode (Clean up or Sound Human), theme, per-site toggles, shortcuts, Voice Draft on/off, and first-run flags | Remember your preferences |
| Your sign-in session for your RefineIQ account | Authenticate your rewrites and track your credit balance |
| Voice Draft speech model (only if you use Voice Draft) | Transcribe speech on your device, offline, after a one-time download |
Erase settings any time by removing the extension, or sign out from Settings to clear your local session.
Your text
When you refine, the text you selected is sent over HTTPS to the RefineIQ backend, rewritten, and returned to your browser. It exists on the backend only for the moment it takes to rewrite. We do not store it, we do not log it, and we never use it to train any model. It is not shared with any third party and it is not kept after the response goes back to you.
The backend is the only place your text goes. It is used purely to rewrite, authenticate your account, and spend one credit per rewrite. There is no copy left behind on either side once the response lands.
Your voice
Voice Draft is push-to-talk dictation and is always fully local. There is no cloud speech mode at all:
- Recording starts only from your explicit press, is capped at 60 seconds, and requires a one-time microphone permission granted on RefineIQ's own setup page, revocable any time in Chrome's site settings.
- Audio is transcribed on your device by a small open speech model, exists only in memory during transcription, and is never stored, never uploaded, and never leaves your device.
- RefineIQ deliberately does not use the browser's built-in speech recognition, because Chrome implements it with a server-side service.
Network connections
RefineIQ only ever connects to these hosts, for these purposes:
| Host | When | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| RefineIQ backend | When you sign in and on each refine | Authenticate your account and rewrite the text you send |
| Voice Draft speech model host | Voice Draft setup, once | Download the speech model (static data) that then runs on your device |
No other network connections are made by the extension. Links you choose to click, like help pages, the support page, and the post-uninstall goodbye page, open as ordinary browser tabs; they are page visits you make, not extension requests. No remote code is ever executed, and the speech model is treated as data.
Page content
RefineIQ's content script watches for text selections so it can offer the in-page Refine action. It reads only the text you select or the field you explicitly refine, only when you trigger a refine, and sends it only to the RefineIQ backend to be rewritten. Password fields and other non-text inputs (PINs, card numbers, dates) are always excluded: selecting text in them never offers or performs a refine. It does not read, collect, scrape, or transmit page contents otherwise.
GDPR / CCPA
The text you rewrite is never stored, so there is no record of it for us to access, export, or delete. The personal data we do hold is limited to your account: the email you signed up with and your credit balance. You can ask us to export or delete your account data by email. Settings stored locally in your browser are under your control and removed when you uninstall.
