Your chats go to your AI provider. Not to us.
Glenica runs on your computer. Here is exactly what moves where, what our servers keep, and why the extension asks for each permission.
How data flows
Your computer
Browser
n8n and the Glenica extension. Chat history is stored here.
Companion app
Runs the AI session and relays edits to your canvas.
Your AI provider
Claude through your subscription, or OpenRouter with your own key.
Glenica servers
Account, subscription status and your encrypted API key. No chats, no workflows.
What Glenica's servers keep
- Your email address and sign-in credentials
- Your subscription status and Paddle customer ID
- Which AI provider you chose
- Your OpenRouter key, encrypted, if you add one
- Hashed fraud-prevention signals used to keep free trials fair
What they never receive
- Your conversations with the AI
- Your n8n workflows, nodes or credentials
- Your execution data
- Your card details (Paddle handles payment)
- Analytics or tracking data
How your OpenRouter key is handled
Encrypted at rest
Your key is kept in an encrypted secrets vault. Our database only holds a reference to it, never the key itself.
Released to you only
When your companion app needs it, it asks with your own signed-in session. No other account can read it.
Used on your machine
The companion app sends requests from your computer to OpenRouter, which bills you directly.
Yours to remove
Delete or replace the key any time from within Glenica.
Every Chrome permission, explained
Extensions should only ask for what they use. This is what Glenica asks for, and why.
- storage
- Saves your settings and chat history inside your browser.
- scripting and activeTab
- Adds the Glenica sidebar to the n8n page you are on.
- nativeMessaging
- Starts the companion app on your computer when you open n8n. This is how the extension reaches it without you running anything by hand.
- clipboardWrite
- Powers the copy buttons, for example copying a conversation.
- Access to *.app.n8n.cloud
- Lets Glenica work on n8n Cloud without any extra prompt.
- Access to other sites (optional)
- Only requested if you turn on detection for self-hosted or local n8n. Chrome asks you first, and you can exclude any site.
