Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 20, 2026

1. Overview

ChatShell is a local-first ChatGPT export tool. Conversation content is processed in your browser for export and is not sold or shared with advertisers.

2. Conversation Content

ChatShell reads ChatGPT page content only when you start an export. Exports are generated locally in your browser, including PDF generation through ChatShell's bundled local PDF engine.

• We do not upload conversation content to developer servers.
• We do not sell conversation content or use it for advertising.
• The extension runtime does not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.

3. Local Storage

The extension uses Chrome storage for product state, including language preference, license state, local instance identifiers, free-plan usage counters, and changelog state. Exported files and conversation content are not stored in extension storage.

4. License, Payments, and Website Analytics

When you activate, validate, or deactivate a license, ChatShell sends the license key and a local instance identifier to our license service. The license service uses Cloudflare infrastructure and Creem to verify entitlement, manage subscription status, support activation recovery, and prevent abuse.

The ChatShell website uses Google Analytics 4 for aggregate traffic measurement. Analytics are used for website performance and acquisition reporting, not for processing exported conversation content.

5. Network Requests

During export, ChatShell accesses ChatGPT pages and related ChatGPT endpoints needed to load the conversations you choose to export. PDF export may load font files from approved CDN sources for CJK text, math symbols, and other scripts. License checks contact our license service and Creem. All requests use HTTPS.

6. Limited Use

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
