Glenica

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.

Glenica servers

Account, subscription status and your encrypted API key. No chats, no workflows.

Conversations go from your computer straight to your AI provider. They never pass through Glenica's servers.

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

  1. Encrypted at rest

    Your key is kept in an encrypted secrets vault. Our database only holds a reference to it, never the key itself.

  2. Released to you only

    When your companion app needs it, it asks with your own signed-in session. No other account can read it.

  3. Used on your machine

    The companion app sends requests from your computer to OpenRouter, which bills you directly.

  4. 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.
