ChatGPT Reading Assistant (“CRA”) is a Chrome browser extension that enhances the reading experience on ChatGPT. This policy explains what data is handled and how.
CRA does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data.
CRA has no servers, no analytics, no telemetry, and makes zero network requests of its own.
CRA stores the following data exclusively on your device using Chrome’s chrome.storage.local API:
| Data | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Saved quote entries (text + timestamp) | Citation clipboard feature | Your browser’s local storage |
| Extension on/off state | Remember your preference | Your browser’s local storage |

Save your quotes and settings locally on your device |
host_permissions: chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com |
Inject the selection toolbar and citation panel into ChatGPT pages |
CRA requests the minimum permissions necessary. No tabs, history, cookies, identity, or network access is requested.
CRA does not integrate with, send data to, or receive data from any third-party service.
The extension operates entirely within your browser and only activates on chatgpt.com and chat.openai.com.
CRA does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under 13.
