In short: Meet Transcripts reads the text of Google Meet's live captions on your screen and saves it as a Google Doc in your own Google Drive. It records no audio or video, has no servers of its own, and shares nothing with AhMath Learning Center or anyone else.
Who we are
Meet Transcripts is a Chrome extension made by AhMath Learning Center ("we"). Contact: ahmathlc@gmail.com. This policy covers only the extension. The AhMath LC website and learning platform are covered by the AhMath LC Privacy Policy.
What the extension accesses
- Caption text shown by Google Meet, and the names Meet shows for speakers and participants, only on meet.google.com and only while you choose to transcribe.
- Your Google account email and name, to confirm you belong to the allowed school domain and to put your name in the transcript's header.
- Notes and marks you add yourself during a meeting.
It does not access your microphone, camera, screen, other websites, your browsing history, or Meet chat messages. It only posts the transcription notice in the chat.
How it's used
Only to create the transcript document you asked for, show it to you in the extension, and save it to your Google Drive. We do not use the data for advertising, analytics, profiling, training AI, or any other purpose, and we never sell it.
Where it's stored
- Your Google Drive: each transcript is a Google Doc in a folder named "Meet Transcripts", private to you unless you share it. Google's terms and your school's agreement with Google apply.
- Your computer: text not yet saved to Drive is kept in Chrome's local storage for crash recovery, deleted as soon as Google confirms the save and never kept longer than 24 hours. Settings are kept in Chrome's storage and contain no transcript text.
- Nowhere else. The extension connects only to Google services. We have no servers and receive no copies of your data.
Google API data
The extension uses the Google Drive permission drive.file, which only lets it
see and manage files it created itself. Its use of information received from Google APIs
follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Sign-in tokens are kept in browser memory and removed when Chrome closes.
Sharing
We share no data with anyone. A transcript is shared only if you share the Doc yourself, or ask the extension to share it with a colleague in your school domain.
Retention and deletion
You can delete any transcript in Google Drive at any time, and delete unsaved transcripts from the extension. You can optionally have transcripts moved to the Drive trash automatically after 30 days to 1 year. Uninstalling the extension removes everything it stored on your computer; your Drive documents stay until you delete them.
Students and children
The extension is intended for teachers and school staff using school Google accounts, not for students. Meetings may include students, whose words can appear in the captions. Teachers are prompted to inform participants, and each transcript records how they were informed. Meet Transcripts is designed to support FERPA/COPPA-conscious use; compliance depends on your school's data agreements and policies, and your school should review its use.
Security
All connections to Google use HTTPS. The extension's security policy blocks connections to anything other than Google APIs, and no code is loaded from outside the extension.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date above will change. A change that affects how data is handled will be described in the extension's release notes.
