Note on Generative AI
The Service sends source images and prompts you input to AI model APIs (Google Gemini, OpenAI, Black Forest Labs, etc.).
Please also review each AI model provider's privacy and data use policies separately. We strongly recommend not including personal or confidential information in source images or prompts.
We make no warranties regarding the quality or appropriateness of generated images or prompts.
Chrome Extension Data Handling
The Mimicit Chrome extension follows these principles for handling data, in accordance with Chrome Web Store policies:
[Content script scope] The content script runs on every website (matches: <all_urls>), but solely to let you pick any image you find as creative source material. The extension never reads page text, form inputs, browsing history, cookies, passwords, or any other page content.
[Image data handling] The content script collects only the URLs and basic metadata of <img> elements visible on the page and forwards them to the side panel UI. Image data stays on your device until you explicitly click "Generate"; only then is it sent to our server (mimicit.app).
[Remote code execution] The extension runs only the code shipped in its Chrome Web Store package. No JavaScript is fetched and executed from remote sources, in compliance with the Manifest V3 remote code policy.
[Permissions requested] · storage: store the auth token and selected model · activeTab: communicate with the active tab while the side panel is open · contextMenus: provide a right-click menu entry · sidePanel: host the main UI · host_permissions: https://*.mimicit.app/* (API calls only)
[External messaging] The mimicit.app web app uses externally_connectable to notify the extension of "auth state changed" or "credits updated" events to keep the side panel in sync. Third-party sites cannot use this channel.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Policy as necessary. We will notify you of important changes via the Service or by email in advance.
The revised Policy takes effect from the date it is posted on the website.
