Privacy policy
Grok Button is a small browser extension with no accounts, no servers of its own, and nothing to sell. This page describes exactly what it stores and sends.
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What stays on your device
All extension data lives in your browser’s local extension storage.
A random install ID
On install the extension generates a random ID (UUID) and keeps it in local storage. It exists only so install and uninstall counts can be matched without knowing who you are.
Your settings and pending prompts
Your Options choice (such as the Google button toggle), per-article Wikipedia bar dismissals, and a prompt you just submitted are stored locally. Prompts are deleted from storage as soon as the Grok page picks them up.
What leaves your browser
Three cases, all triggered by something you did.
Install and uninstall pages
Installing opens a welcome page and uninstalling pings a farewell URL. Both carry the random install ID and nothing else — no browsing history, no prompts.
Pages you ask to open
When you use the extension it opens X/Grok (with your prompt pre-filled) or a Grokipedia page. Those requests go to X and Grokipedia directly and are governed by their policies, not this one.
What we don’t do
No accounts, payments, or tracking
There is no sign-up, no password, no payment, no analytics SDK, and no advertising in the extension. Your prompts are never sent to our servers and are never used to train models — we have no models and no access to them.
Why these browser permissions?
contextMenus adds the right-click entry. storage keeps the install ID, settings, and pending prompts on your device. omnibox powers the grok address-bar keyword. Each permission maps to one visible feature.
How long is data kept?
The install ID persists until you uninstall, at which point your browser removes all of the extension’s local data. There is nothing to request or export because nothing of yours is held anywhere else.
