Privacy Policy
General
GPT Extension respects the privacy of all those who use the services we provide on this site and through our Chrome extension. We have a simple policy that we will not willfully disclose any personal information regarding our users without first obtaining their permission, unless required by law. By using our website or Chrome extension, you consent to the collection and use of your information as outlined in this policy and to our Terms and Conditions of Use.
Default Search Provider
With your consent during installation, GPT Extension may set itself as your default search provider in Chrome. When enabled, queries you type in the Chrome address bar (omnibox) are sent to our search service at search.chatgpt-extension.com so we can return results and (where available) suggestions.
What Search Information Does GPT Extension Collect?
When you use the address bar with GPT Extension set as the default search provider, we may receive:
- Search query text you submit to search.chatgpt-extension.com.
- Basic technical data (such as IP address, browser/user agent, language, and timestamp) used for delivering results, security, and abuse prevention.
- Limited context about how the request was made (for example, that it came from the browser’s address bar).
This information is used to provide search results and improve the quality, safety, and reliability of the service. We do not sell your personal information.
Your Choices for Search
You can change or remove GPT Extension as your default search provider at any time in Chrome: Settings → Search engine → Manage search engines and site search, then select your preferred provider.
Use of Cookies
A “cookie” is a file sent to your browser by a web server and stored on your computer. It contains data that websites use to identify you as a unique user. Companies which advertise on our site may collect information from you if you click on their advertisements or access their sites. They may do this by using cookies. Due to the way the internet operates, we cannot control this collection of information.
Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can change the settings of your browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to your computer, giving you the choice whether to accept it or not.
If you have any questions or concerns about the way in which information is collected or used by another site, then you should contact whoever is responsible for that site directly.
What Information Does GPT Extension Collect?
GPT Extension does not collect any personal information about you (such as your name or email address) except when you specifically and knowingly provide that information. We do keep a record of the IP addresses from which users access our site. This data is used by us for internal administration, and to analyze the way in which people use our site, so that we can keep improving the services we offer. This data also provides us with anonymous and broad demographic information about those using our site.
How Does GPT Extension Use the Collected Information?
GPT Extension utilizes various third-party APIs to enhance user experience and functionality:
- ChatGPT API (OpenAI): For processing chat prompts and generating responses.
- Open-Meteo API: For retrieving current weather data for the user’s location.
Data retrieved from these APIs is stored locally on your device and is updated periodically to ensure accuracy and relevancy.
Does GPT Extension Disclose Information to Anyone Else?
We do not disclose any information about our site users to any third party. For example, we may disclose the total number of “hits” our site receives, or how often the average user visits our site, or which terms are most often entered in our search engine. Please be aware, however, that we will release specific personal information about you if required by law.
We receive and reply to email from users on a regular basis. For record-keeping purposes, we retain copies of all incoming and outgoing email. Information in the email we receive or send will not be disclosed to any third party without the permission of the sender, either express or implied, unless required by law.
Links
The GPT Extension site and Chrome extension may contain a large number of links to external sites. Please be aware that these external sites are developed by people over whom we have no control, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. This Privacy Policy applies only to all GPT Extension sites and the Chrome extension. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy policy of any website you visit which collects personal information, and to exercise discretion when providing such information.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time at our discretion and without notice. If we do, an updated version of this Privacy Policy will be made available on this site and through the Chrome extension so that you remain aware of the data we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
