Konspekt VideoPrivacy Policy
Effective November 10, 2026. Chrome extension «Конспект видео» (Konspekt Video, “Video Notes”) by Artem Islamov.
In short: the extension has no server of its own, no analytics and no accounts. The developer never receives your data. Notes, transcripts, settings and API keys are stored only in your browser. Video audio is never saved. Data leaves your computer only if you explicitly enable a third-party API in the settings, and only to the provider you chose.
What the extension does
You open a page with a video, click the extension icon and press “Сделать конспект” (Make notes). The extension plays the video in that tab, listens to the tab’s audio, turns speech into text and writes structured notes with timestamps.
Data the extension processes
| Data | Purpose | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Audio of the video tab | Speech transcription | In memory only while processing. Never written to disk, discarded after transcription |
| URL and title of the video page, video duration | Show which video is processed, link notes to the video, seek by timestamp | In the browser, in the notes history |
| Transcript and notes | Show the result, “History” tab | In the browser (chrome.storage.local) |
| Settings and API keys you enter | Using the API you selected | In the browser (chrome.storage.local), not synced across devices |
The extension does not collect browsing history, the content of other pages, passwords, payment data, location, contacts or messages. On the video page it only reads the player state: current time, duration, pause and whether an ad is playing. The page script runs only while recording and when you click a timestamp.
Who receives the data
The developer never receives any data. Everything else depends on your settings.
Default mode: everything on your computer
Transcription is done by the Whisper model inside the browser, notes are written by Gemini Nano, the model built into Chrome. Audio, transcripts and notes never leave your computer.
On first use the extension downloads the Whisper model files from Hugging Face (huggingface.co). This is a plain file download: no audio, text or video information is sent to Hugging Face. Gemini Nano is downloaded and updated by Chrome itself under Google’s terms.
“Via API” mode
If you choose a third-party API in the settings (for example OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, DeepSeek or a custom URL) and enter a key:
- audio fragments of the video are sent to that provider for transcription;
- the transcript text, video title and duration are sent to it to write the notes;
- your API key is sent with these requests.
Requests go directly from your browser to the provider you chose, with no intermediaries. The provider’s own privacy policy governs how it stores and uses the data. If you set a local address (Ollama, LM Studio), data stays on your computer.
What the extension does not do
- It does not sell or transfer data to third parties, except the API provider you chose yourself.
- It does not use data for advertising, creditworthiness or any purpose unrelated to making video notes.
- It does not save or download video or audio. The only output is text.
- It does not load or execute code from remote servers. All code is included in the extension package.
The use of information complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Deleting your data
- A single note: “History” tab, delete button next to the entry.
- API keys: clear the key field on the settings page.
