Privacy Policy — ChatSnap
Last Updated: May 2026
Overview
ChatSnap is a Chrome extension that allows you to export conversations from Claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini to multiple formats (Markdown, JSON, DOC, PDF). All processing is local to your browser. No data is sent to external servers or services.
What Data We Collect
We do not collect any data. The extension:
- Reads only the messages visible on the chat page you're viewing
- Processes everything in your browser's memory
- Does not send any data over the network (except to the platform's own API, using your existing login session)
- Does not store any information locally on your device
- Does not use analytics, tracking, or telemetry
Permissions Used
The extension requests the following Chrome permissions:
activeTab — Required to detect which platform you're on (Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini)
scripting — Required to inject the export logic into the page
How Export Works
When you click "Export Conversation":
- The extension reads the HTML content of the page in your browser
- It extracts messages and metadata (title, timestamp if available)
- It formats the content according to your chosen format (Markdown, JSON, DOC, or PDF)
- It downloads the file to your computer
Third-Party APIs
The extension may call your platform's internal API (Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini) to fetch metadata like timestamps. These API calls:
- Use your existing login session (
credentials: 'include')
- Are subject to the platform's own privacy policy
- Do not share additional information with us (this extension has no server)
Your Data Rights
Since all processing is local to your browser:
- You have complete control over what data is exported
- You can delete exported files at any time
- The extension cannot access your chat history outside the current page
- Uninstalling the extension removes all traces of it from your browser
Security
The extension:
- Does not store any encryption keys or credentials
- Does not use external services or CDNs
- Is obfuscated to prevent unauthorized modifications
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy if the extension's functionality changes. Changes will be reflected here and in the extension's store listing.
Contact
If you have questions about this privacy policy, you can reach out through the Chrome Web Store extension page.
Summary: ChatSnap is 100% local. Your data never leaves your browser. No tracking, no servers, no third parties. This extension is for exporting conversations you already have access to.
