ClaimCircle Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 1, 2026

Overview

ClaimCircle is a Chrome extension that helps users fact-check online content after the user deliberately circles a post, paragraph, or image on a webpage. ClaimCircle does not automatically scan entire pages in the background.

Information We Process

When you use ClaimCircle, we may process the following information:

• Your signed-in account email address and authentication session, used to manage sign-in and quota.
• Your claim-check quota state, including checks used, remaining checks, plan status, and whether you indicated interest in a paid plan.
• Content you deliberately select by circling it, such as visible text, nearby image metadata, image URLs, page title, page URL, and approximate on-screen coordinates of the circled region.
• Recent mouse coordinates for a short time window, used locally by the extension to detect a circle gesture.

How We Use Information

We use this information to provide the requested fact-check result, manage account quota, prevent abuse, improve reliability, and understand whether users are interested in a paid plan. We do not sell user data.

Service Providers

ClaimCircle uses service providers to operate the extension and return fact-check results. Cloudflare hosts the backend API. Supabase provides authentication and quota storage. Tavily retrieves web evidence. Mistral AI may process circled context and retrieved evidence to produce the assessment.

Data Sharing

We share data only as needed to operate ClaimCircle, comply with law, prevent abuse, or protect the service. User data is not transferred for unrelated advertising, creditworthiness, or sale.

Storage and Retention

Account and quota information may be stored while your account is active. Fact-check requests may pass through backend and provider systems to generate the requested result. Local extension storage may contain your session and cached account state so the popup can work between browser sessions.

User Control

ClaimCircle sends page content only after you intentionally trigger a check by circling content. You can sign out from the extension popup. You can also uninstall the extension at any time to remove local extension storage from your browser.

Security

Provider API keys are stored on the hosted backend service and are not included in the Chrome extension package. Production requests use HTTPS.

Changes

We may update this policy as ClaimCircle changes. When we make changes, we will update the effective date on this page.
