What the extension does
Effigia for Google Meet adjusts camera video on the Google Meet website. The extension is separate from the Effigia Studio website and its accounts. It does not identify people, enroll faces, authenticate users or record calls.
Your choice before processing
Effigia's camera-processing permission starts off. Open the Effigia icon in Chrome's extensions toolbar, read the explanation and choose Allow and enable filters before Effigia can copy or analyze camera frames. The corner control inside Meet cannot grant this permission. Older saved adjustments or presets do not count as consent.
Meet remains responsible for requesting camera access. Effigia does not turn on the camera or join a call. If your camera was already on when you allowed processing, turn it off and on yourself in Meet. The extension does not restart the camera or reload Meet automatically.
Camera frames and local analysis
After you allow processing and start the camera through Meet, the extension's adapter temporarily copies frames on your device. Enabled effects use temporary face landmarks to place filters and hand coordinates to keep hands from receiving facial adjustments. Hair coloring can compute a temporary hair mask. These results are used for appearance effects, not biometric identity recognition, authentication or model training.
Effigia does not record or upload camera frames, face or hand coordinates, hair masks or presets to its servers. Google Meet receives the resulting camera stream and transmits it through your call according to Google's normal service behavior and terms. This means your call video does leave your device through Meet. The extension passes microphone tracks through unchanged and does not add audio recording or audio effects.
Filters off or permission revoked
Turning Apply Effigia filters off retains your camera-processing permission and forwards original video through the adapter. The adapter may still copy frames to forward that video until its camera session closes. A loading or failed filter can also show your original, unfiltered video; the panel reports processing status. Turning filters off is not the same as revoking permission.
Choose Revoke Effigia camera access in the controls to withdraw permission. This stops Effigia video outputs, their tracked clones and the underlying video input. It can stop or black out the camera image in Meet. Your microphone audio is left untouched. Turn the camera off and on yourself in Meet to restore original capture. To allow Effigia again, return to the toolbar disclosure. Your saved appearance settings and presets remain available.
Settings and retention
Your processing-permission choice, adjustment strengths, colors, language, processing mode, the enabled setting, named presets, corner-control visibility and its preferred position are saved in chrome.storage.local in this Chrome profile. They are not synchronized to an Effigia account. Camera frames, tracking coordinates and masks are not saved in this storage.
Processing buffers and tracking data are temporary and released as processing resources close. Presets can be deleted in the controls. Revoking camera access or resetting adjustments does not delete your named presets. Clear the extension's local storage or uninstall it to remove its saved preferences and permission choice.
Toolbar and floating controls
The toolbar checks the active tab's identifier and URL to find a Meet tab and request this extension's status. It does not create a browsing-history log. Positioning the floating control uses a limited sample of visible page rectangles, styles and pointer or keyboard movement. The saved icon position remains local. It does not inspect installed extensions, read meeting text or capture your screen.
Purpose and sharing
This data is used to provide camera filters and their controls. The extension has no advertising, telemetry, cloud synchronization or identity-matching feature. Effigia does not sell this data or use it for advertising, credit decisions or training models. Its use is limited to providing the extension's stated functionality, consistent with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy and Limited Use requirements.
Permissions and stopping use
Site access is limited to meet.google.com. Storage saves your settings and processing-permission choice. Active-tab access supports the toolbar status check. The JavaScript, WebAssembly and models used for effects are included in the extension package. Use Meet's camera control to stop your camera. Revoking Effigia access prevents later frame processing until you allow it again. You can also disable the extension and choose to reload Meet when convenient; a reload can interrupt a call. Effigia does not request a separate microphone recording permission.
Publisher, support and this website
The extension is provided under the Effigia brand. For support or a question about these data practices, contact contact@effigia.ai. Only include information you choose to share; do not send a private meeting link, credentials or camera images of other people.

These website connections are separate from the extension's local camera processing. Account and access-request practices are described in the Effigia and Studio privacy page.
Resumo em português
Na versão 1.0.0 preparada para a loja, a autorização de processamento começa desligada. Antes de copiar ou analisar quadros, o Effigia exige que você abra o ícone na barra de extensões do Chrome, leia a explicação e escolha Permitir e ativar filtros. O controle no canto do Meet não concede essa autorização. Ajustes e presets antigos não são consentimento.
A câmera é ligada por você no Meet. Se ela já estava ligada ao autorizar, desligue e ligue novamente no próprio Meet. O Effigia não liga a câmera, não entra em chamadas e não recarrega o Meet automaticamente. Os efeitos usam pontos temporários do rosto, coordenadas das mãos para protegê-las dos ajustes faciais e uma máscara opcional de cabelo, sempre neste computador. Não há autenticação biométrica, treinamento de modelos nem gravação ou envio desse conteúdo pela extensão.
Desligar os filtros mantém a autorização e encaminha o vídeo original pelo adaptador, que pode continuar copiando quadros para isso. Durante o carregamento ou uma falha, o vídeo original também pode aparecer. Revogar acesso do Effigia à câmera retira a autorização e interrompe as saídas e cópias de vídeo controladas pelo Effigia e a entrada de vídeo correspondente. A imagem pode parar ou ficar preta. O áudio não é alterado. Desligue e ligue a câmera no Meet para recuperar a captura original. Uma nova autorização deve ser feita pela barra do Chrome.
A escolha de autorização, ajustes, presets, idioma e preferências do controle ficam neste perfil do Chrome. Quadros, coordenadas e máscaras são temporários e não ficam salvos nesse armazenamento. Revogar o acesso mantém seus presets. Você pode excluir presets, limpar os dados locais ou desinstalar a extensão. O Meet continua transmitindo o vídeo e o áudio normalmente à chamada. Contato: contact@effigia.ai. O texto completo em inglês acima detalha o funcionamento; esta página não anuncia aprovação na loja.

Tú enciendes la cámara en Meet. Si ya estaba encendida al permitir el procesamiento, apágala y vuelve a encenderla en Meet.

Los efectos usan puntos temporales del rostro, coordenadas de las manos para excluirlas de los ajustes faciales y una máscara opcional del cabello, siempre en este equipo. La extensión no realiza autenticación biométrica, entrenamiento de modelos, grabación ni envío de este contenido.
Desactivar los filtros conserva el permiso y envía vídeo original a través del adaptador, que puede seguir copiando fotogramas para ello.

Revocar acceso de Effigia a la cámara retira el permiso y detiene las salidas y copias de vídeo controladas por Effigia y la entrada de vídeo correspondiente. La imagen puede detenerse o ponerse negra. El audio no se modifica. Apaga y vuelve a encender la cámara en Meet para recuperar la captura original. Un nuevo permiso debe concederse desde la barra de Chrome.
La elección de permiso, ajustes, presets, idioma y preferencias del control se guardan en este perfil de Chrome.
