Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 26, 2026 · Operated by Bespinite LLC (New Jersey)

Overview

TruthLens is a browser extension that analyzes news articles and social media posts for propaganda techniques and political bias. We take privacy seriously.

Short version: We don't store your article content. We don't sell your data. Ever.

What We Collect

Information You Provide
Nothing at this time. TruthLens Beta requires no account or registration.

Information Collected Automatically

Article/page text: When you click "Analyze," the text content of the current page is sent to our analysis server. This text is processed and immediately discarded — it is not stored.
Page URL: Sent alongside the text for context. Not stored beyond the duration of the request.
Extension settings: Your preferences (Student Mode, highlight mode) are stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage.local API. They never leave your device.

What We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect your browsing history
We do not store article content or analysis results on our servers
We do not collect your name, email, or any personal identifiers in this beta
We do not use cookies

How Your Data Is Used

When you analyze a page:

The text is sent from your browser to the TruthLens server (operated by Bespinite LLC)
The server forwards the text to Anthropic's Claude API for AI analysis
The result is returned to your browser and displayed
Neither the text nor the result is stored on our servers

Third-Party Services
