FavGPT Privacy Policy
Last updated: Oct 2026 · Version 1.3.0
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how FavGPT (the "Extension"), developed by Iliass El Barhoumi, collects, uses, stores, and protects your information. This policy applies specifically to the FavGPT browser extension and is separate from the ExtensionShop marketplace privacy policy.
We are committed to protecting your privacy. By installing and using FavGPT, you agree to the data practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
FavGPT collects the minimum data necessary to provide its functionality. Below is a complete breakdown of what data is and is not collected.
Data Collected
| Data Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Replies you save | The text and formatting of a reply you bookmark, the link to its conversation and any tags you add. Stored locally. | Required |
| Prompts you save | Prompts you save from a chat, from selected text or write yourself, with their tags and use counts. Stored locally. | Required |
| Favourite chats | The ID and title of each ChatGPT conversation you pin, so the Favourites section can link to it. Stored locally. | Required |
Data Not Collected
FavGPT does not collect the following types of information:
- Conversations or replies you have not chosen to save
- Your account, name or email on ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini
- Browsing activity on any other site
- Analytics or usage tracking of any kind
- Anything sent to a server: FavGPT has none
3. How We Use Your Information
Collected data is used exclusively for the following purposes:
- Providing and maintaining the core functionality of FavGPT
- Saving your preferences and settings for a personalized experience
- Diagnosing and fixing bugs or technical issues
We do not use your data for advertising, user profiling, or any purpose unrelated to the functionality of FavGPT.
4. Data Storage and Security
FavGPT stores data locally in your browser using the browser's built-in storage APIs (chrome.storage / localStorage). Data remains on your device and is not transmitted to external servers unless explicitly stated.
Data retention: Your library stays in your browser's local storage until you delete items or uninstall the extension.
5. Third-Party Data Sharing
None. FavGPT has no servers, no analytics and no account, and never sends your chats or prompts anywhere. Exporting to Obsidian hands the note to the Obsidian app on your own computer.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for their marketing or commercial purposes.
6. Browser Permissions
FavGPT requests the following browser permissions. Each permission is required for specific functionality and is used only for its stated purpose:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Storage | Saves your replies, prompts, tags and favourite chats locally in your browser. |
| Unlimited Storage | Lets a large library of saved replies grow past Chrome's default local storage quota. The data still never leaves your device. |
| Side Panel | Shows your library in Chrome's side panel, next to the chat you are working in. |
| Active Tab | Inserts a prompt into the chat box of the tab you are on when you click Use. |
| Context Menus | Adds "Save selection as a FavGPT prompt" to the right-click menu. Only the text you select is saved. |
| Site access (chatgpt.com, claude.ai, gemini.google.com) | Adds the save button next to replies and messages, and the Favourites section to the ChatGPT sidebar. FavGPT runs on these three sites only. |
No permissions are used to collect data beyond what is described in Section 2 of this policy. We follow the principle of least privilege and only request permissions essential for the extension's functionality.
7. Your Rights
You have the following rights regarding your data:
- Access: You can view all data stored by the extension through your browser's extension storage inspector
- Deletion: You can delete all stored data by uninstalling the extension or clearing extension data in your browser settings
- Opt-out: Optional data collection (such as analytics) can be disabled in the extension settings
- Portability: You may export your data where the extension provides export functionality
- Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to rectification, restriction of processing, and the right to object. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below.
8. Children's Privacy
FavGPT is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the extension's functionality or applicable regulations. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will provide notice through the extension's update notes or a notification within the extension itself.
Your continued use of FavGPT after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
