This policy explains what Axe processes, where it goes, and what stays on your device.
Effective August 30, 2026
Overview
Axe is a browser extension that helps people find public X posts worth replying to and develop their own responses. Axe is published by Axe and can be contacted at dev.ujjwal.mathur@gmail.com.
The short version: Axe uses public X data, never connects to your X account, never posts for you, and keeps your drafts in your browser.
Information Axe processes
Creator searches and public X data
When you search for or track a creator, Axe sends the search text or public username to its backend. Axe retrieves public profile details, public posts, timestamps, and visible engagement counts through TwitterAPI.io.
AI processing
Axe ranks recent public posts and sends selected public post text, creator usernames, source-post identifiers, and engagement counts to OpenAI. OpenAI returns concise inspiration and possible directions for joining the conversation.
Information kept in your browser
Your tracked creators, generated results, selected Idea Slate, scroll position, and drafts are stored locally in your browser. Draft text is not sent to Axe, TwitterAPI.io, or OpenAI. Clipboard access is used only after you press Copy post.
Operational information
Axe's hosting provider may process basic request information such as request paths, search parameters, IP address, user agent, timestamps, status codes, and error details. Axe uses this information only to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service.
What Axe does not access
- Your X password, authentication cookies, or account credentials.
- Direct messages, private accounts, or other private X data.
- The contents of your X feed or general browsing history.
- Your draft text outside the local browser storage described above.
Axe does not post, reply, like, follow, or perform any other action on X automatically. No X OAuth connection is used.
How information is used
- To search for public creators and display their public profiles.
- To rank recent public posts and generate inspiration.
- To maintain, secure, debug, and improve Axe's core features.
- To respond to support, privacy, or legal requests.
Axe does not sell information or use it for personalized advertising, retargeting, credit decisions, or unrelated profiling.
Service providers
Axe relies on the following providers to deliver its core service:
- Vercel for website, API, and operational hosting.
- TwitterAPI.io for retrieving public X data.
- OpenAI for processing selected public post content.
Neon database infrastructure is connected to the Axe project, but the current extension flow does not persist tracked creators, generated results, or drafts there.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect the service and its users, or with your explicit consent. Axe does not allow people to read user data except when you request support involving that data, for security, or where legally required.
Storage and retention
Locally stored information remains in your browser until you remove it, clear the extension's storage, or uninstall Axe. The current extension flow does not create a persistent Axe account record or store drafts in Axe's database.
Infrastructure logs are retained according to the hosting plan and are generally available for no more than 30 days. OpenAI may retain API abuse-monitoring data for up to 30 days unless a longer period is legally required. Other providers process information under their own contractual and privacy terms.
Your choices and deletion
You can remove creators inside Axe, clear Axe's browser storage, or uninstall the extension to delete locally stored information. To ask about information held in operational systems, request access, or request deletion, email dev.ujjwal.mathur@gmail.com. Axe may need enough information to verify and complete the request.
Security and international processing
Production requests are transmitted using HTTPS. Axe limits data use to what is necessary for the product's stated purpose, but no online system can guarantee absolute security. Service providers may process information in countries other than your own, subject to their safeguards and applicable law.
Chrome Web Store Limited Use
Axe's use and transfer of information received through browser permissions complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Information is used only to provide or improve Axe's disclosed single purpose, maintain security, comply with law, or act with your consent.
Children and policy changes
Axe is not directed to children under 13. We may update this policy as Axe changes. Material changes will be disclosed through the website, extension, or Store listing before new processing begins where required.
