# Privacy Policy for GPT Sources Analyzer


**Last Updated: November 4, 2025**


## Introduction


GPT Sources Analyzer ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension that analyzes conversations from GPT-based platforms. This Privacy Policy explains how the Extension handles user data.


## Data Collection


**The Extension does NOT collect, transmit, or store any personal data or conversation content on external servers.**


All data processing occurs entirely within your browser on your local device.


## What Data is Processed


The Extension processes the following data locally in your browser:


1. **Conversation Data**: The Extension intercepts network requests to extract conversation metadata including:
   - User queries
   - Conversation turn summaries
   - Source citations
   - Additional sources found but not cited
   - Excluded sources


2. **Storage Data**: The Extension uses Chrome's local storage (`chrome.storage.local`) to temporarily store conversation analysis data so you can access it later. This data is stored only on your device.


## How Data is Used


The Extension uses conversation data solely to:


- Display analysis in the extension's sidebar
- Generate CSV exports of conversation analysis
- Enable users to review their conversation sources


**All processing happens locally in your browser - no data is sent to external servers.**


## Data Storage


- All data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's `chrome.storage.local` API
- Data remains on your device and is never transmitted externally
- You can clear this data at any time by:
  - Uninstalling the extension
  - Clearing Chrome's extension storage data
  - Using Chrome's "Clear browsing data" feature for extension data


## Data Sharing


**The Extension does NOT share any data with:**
- Third-party services

- **tabs**: To verify and manage GPT conversation tabs
- **Host permissions** (chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com): To inject content scripts and intercept API requests


These permissions are used exclusively for the Extension's functionality and do not involve any external data transmission.


## User Rights


You have the right to:
