SmartConvert Chat Exporter — Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2, 2026

Overview

SmartConvert Chat Exporter ("the Extension") is a browser extension that helps you export and save your ChatGPT conversations. This Privacy Policy explains what data the Extension processes, how the data is used, and what information may be transmitted when you use certain features.

Data Processing

The Extension processes the following types of data.

Chat Conversation Data

When you use the Extension to export a ChatGPT conversation, the Extension accesses the conversation content and conversation title needed to provide the export functionality.

Conversation data is processed locally in your browser.

Conversation data is used to populate the export interface and generate the export file that you request.

The Extension does not intentionally send your ChatGPT conversation content or conversation titles to our servers during normal export operations.

Extension Settings

The Extension stores preferences such as:

  • Filename prefix
  • Default export format
  • Date format
  • Dark mode preference
  • Language preference
  • Download subfolder

These settings are stored using Chrome's storage API. Settings stored through chrome.storage.sync may be synchronized across your Chrome browsers where you are signed in.

The Extension may also temporarily store conversation data in chrome.storage.local to populate the export interface.

Anonymous Usage Statistics

The Extension may send anonymous usage statistics to improve the product.

These statistics do not intentionally include ChatGPT conversation content or conversation titles, and are not used to intentionally identify individual users.

How Data Is Used

  • Conversation data is used to provide the export functionality and generate the files you explicitly request.
  • Extension settings are used to remember your preferences and provide the Extension's features.
  • Anonymous usage statistics are used to understand feature usage, identify potential issues, improve performance, and improve the overall user experience.
  • Information voluntarily submitted through the feedback feature is used to process your feedback and respond to you when necessary.

Feedback Feature

If you voluntarily submit feedback through the Extension's feedback form, the following information may be sent to our support system:

  • Feedback type, such as Bug, Feature Request, or Other
  • Email address, if you choose to provide one
  • Feedback content that you enter

The feedback information is used to review your feedback, investigate reported problems, improve the Extension, and respond to you when necessary.

Your ChatGPT conversation content and conversation titles are not intentionally included in feedback submissions.

Providing an email address is optional.

Product Usage Statistics

The Extension may send anonymous usage statistics to improve the product.

These statistics do not intentionally contain your ChatGPT conversation content or conversation titles, and are not used to intentionally identify individual users.

Data Storage

  • ChatGPT conversation data is processed locally in your browser.
  • Conversation data may be temporarily cached in chrome.storage.local for the purpose of displaying the export interface.
  • Export files are generated on your device and saved using your browser's download functionality.
  • We do not store your ChatGPT conversation content or conversation titles on our servers as part of the normal export process.
  • Information voluntarily submitted through the feedback feature and anonymous usage statistics may be transmitted to our servers as described in this Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information transmitted through the Extension's optional feedback feature and product usage functionality.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Browsing Activity

  • The Extension does not track your general web browsing activity.
  • The Extension only accesses ChatGPT pages covered by its permissions and uses the information required to provide its export functionality.
  • The Extension does not use cookies for tracking purposes.

PDF Export

  • PDF export uses the browser's built-in print engine through window.print().
  • The PDF is generated locally on your device.
  • Your ChatGPT conversation content is not sent to our servers for PDF generation.
  • The Extension does not use a third-party PDF generation service to process your conversation content.

Permissions

The Extension requests the following Chrome permissions:

  • activeTab — To access the current ChatGPT page and read conversation data when you use the Extension.
  • downloads — To create and save exported files to your computer.
  • storage — To store Extension settings and temporarily cache conversation data.
  • scripting — To run scripts required to extract conversation data from ChatGPT pages.

Data Retention

  • ChatGPT conversation data is not stored on our servers as part of the normal export process.
  • Conversation data temporarily cached by the Extension is stored locally in your browser.
  • Feedback information and anonymous usage statistics transmitted to our servers may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to process feedback, provide support, analyze product usage, and improve the Extension.

Third-Party Services

  • The Extension may use external services to receive voluntarily submitted feedback and process anonymous usage statistics.
  • These services may process the information necessary to provide those functions.
  • ChatGPT conversation content and conversation titles are not intentionally transmitted to these services as part of the normal export process.

Children's Privacy

  • SmartConvert Chat Exporter is not specifically directed at children.
  • We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the Extension.
