Honestly I wouldn't even consider installing this because there is zero information about how it works and what it does with the data I type into it.

Are my search terms sent to some random server to be "processed" and/or logged for analytics purposes, or is everything done locally?

The single-line privacy policy is [woefully bare](https://sites.google.com/view/scoutcrx/privacy).

I looked at the source code and found `new a.OpenAIApi(new a.Configuration({ apiKey: ... }))`, so I assume it’s calling a remote endpoint.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still busy putting together the parts of this project which is why the privacy policy is barren. Scout doesn't save what you search, it's doing a direct call to a search API, but at no point is what you search recorded.

Your claim does not line up with: https://openai.com/api/policies/privacy/

You're exposing your API key, plus I wonder if everyone trying your extension has made their IP address visible to you on the 'usage' page mentioned here? https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5112595-best-practices-f...

The exposed API key is temporary while a backend is setup. The IP address is not stored by Scout - will look into the OpenAI policy.
