TL;DR — 100 words

SoloARV stores trial data only on your device, in chrome.storage.local. The image-to-outcome mapping is encrypted with AES-GCM-128. The extension makes a single kind of network request: when you ask it to judge a sketch, it sends the two target photographs, your sketch, and your written notes to Anthropic's Claude API, using the API key you supplied. Nothing else leaves the device. There are no analytics, no third-party scripts, no remote code, and no telemetry. You can wipe everything from Settings → Clear all stored trial data.

SoloARV is a Chrome extension that lets a single person run an Associative Remote Viewing (ARV) trial on their own. This policy explains what data SoloARV stores, where it lives, and what — if anything — leaves your device.

If anything in this policy is unclear or seems inconsistent with how the extension actually behaves, email support@soloarv.com. We will fix the policy or fix the extension.

What is stored on your device

Category Where Why
Anthropic API key chrome.storage.local Sent only to api.anthropic.com for judging.
Voice / speech-rate setting chrome.storage.local Used to read the tasking prompt aloud.
In-progress trial state chrome.storage.local Lets you close and resume the trial across days.
Pool image indices (encrypted) chrome.storage.local Identifies which two photos from the bundled pool are used this trial. Encrypted alongside the outcome mapping.
Image-to-outcome mapping chrome.storage.local Encrypted with AES-GCM-128 (key generated per trial).
Saved trial history (after feedback) chrome.storage.local Lets you review past trials.

You can export saved trial records as JSON from the Feedback screen, and you can wipe everything with a single button on the Settings page (double confirmation required).

What is not stored

  • Browsing history, tab content, or anything outside the SoloARV UI.
  • Any identifier or analytics token. There is no tracking.
  • Cookies. SoloARV does not set or read cookies.

Network behavior

A fresh install of SoloARV does not contact any server. There is no telemetry, no analytics ping, no remote-loaded script, no font or CDN call.

There is exactly one network call the extension can make: when you press Submit my drawing for judging (or Test connection in Settings), the extension sends an HTTPS POST to https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages containing:

  • The two target photographs selected for your trial from SoloARV's bundled pool, base64-encoded.
  • Your sketch from the canvas, base64-encoded.
  • Your written notes.
  • Standard request metadata: model name, max-tokens, content-type.
  • Authentication: your Anthropic API key in the x-api-key header.

Anthropic's privacy policy at anthropic.com/legal/privacy describes how Anthropic handles that data. Your API key is sent only to Anthropic and is never transmitted to SoloARV's authors or anyone else.

License verification, payments, accounts

SoloARV does not require an account. The Pro license is verified locally against your stored license key — no license server is contacted. SoloARV does not have an update endpoint beyond the Chrome Web Store's own.

Data we receive

None. The SoloARV authors do not receive your data, your sketches, your trial history, or your API key. There is no SoloARV server.

Cookies and similar technology

The extension does not set or read cookies.

Sharing of data

We do not sell, rent, share, or trade your data — there is no data to share, because we never receive any. The only third party involved is Anthropic, and only when you initiate a judging request using your API key.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you have the right to:

  • Export the trial records SoloARV has stored. Use Save trial record on the Feedback screen to download any individual trial as JSON.
  • Delete everything SoloARV has stored. Use Settings → Clear all stored trial data. This wipes the API key, voice settings, all trial state, target images, the encrypted mapping, and the saved trial history.
  • Object to any processing. SoloARV's only processing happens when you press Submit my drawing for judging. If you don't press it, no processing happens.
  • Question any of this. Email support@soloarv.com and a human will reply within 7 days.

If you are in the EU/UK, the legal basis for processing is consent: you choose to send a judging request and you supply the API key that authenticates it.

If you are in California, you have the rights described in the CCPA. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA.

Children

SoloARV is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU/UK). The extension does not knowingly process any personal data of children.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will:

  1. Post the new version at this URL with a new "Last updated" date.
  2. Show an in-extension banner the next time you open SoloARV.
  3. Never apply a new policy retroactively to data we already have (which, to be clear, is none — we don't receive any).

Reporting a security issue

If you have found a vulnerability, email support@soloarv.com. Please give us 90 days before public disclosure.
