Anki Questions is a browser extension that helps users generate Anki flashcards and explanations from text they select on web pages.


The extension may process:

• Selected text from the current web page, only after the user chooses to generate cards.
• Selected text from the current web page, only after the user chooses to ask for an explanation.
• The user's explanation question, when the user asks Gemini to explain selected text.
• The user's Gemini API key, entered by the user in the extension popup.
• Anki configuration, such as the selected deck and default tags.
• Generated questions and answers before they are optionally sent to Anki.
• Generated explanations shown in the extension panel.

The Gemini API key is provided by the user.

The extension stores this key locally in the user's browser storage. The developer of this extension does not receive, collect, or store the user's API key on a server.

The key is used by the extension to send generation and explanation requests directly to the Gemini API.


When the user selects text and asks the extension to generate cards, the selected text is sent to the Gemini API using the API key saved by the user.

When the user selects text and asks the extension for an explanation, the selected text and the user's question are sent to the Gemini API using the API key saved by the user.

The extension does not send selected text to a server controlled by the extension developer.

Gemini API usage is subject to Google's own terms and privacy policies.


If the user enables Anki integration, the extension communicates with AnkiConnect on the user's own computer, typically at:

http://127.0.0.1:8765


Deck names, tags, and generated cards may be sent to the local AnkiConnect service so that notes can be created in the user's Anki collection.

The extension does not send Anki data to a server controlled by the extension developer.


The extension stores the following data locally in the browser:

• Gemini API key.
• Selected Anki deck.
• Default Anki tags.

This data remains on the user's device unless the user removes the extension, clears extension storage, or changes the saved settings.


This extension currently does not use a developer-operated backend server.

The developer does not collect, store, sell, or share users' selected text, explanation questions, API keys, generated cards, generated explanations, Anki decks, or Anki tags.


Users can stop using the extension at any time by removing it from their browser.

Users can also clear saved extension data through their browser's extension settings.


For questions about this privacy policy, contact the extension developer through the project's public support channel or repository.
