It adds a section next to the chat list on chatgpt.com, claude.ai and gemini.google.com. It reads
the list of chats the site shows in its sidebar (title and link) and, to export or search, the text
of the chat you have open. It lets you file chats into folders, pin them, search them and export them.

• The list of chats it has seen: site, title and link.
• Your folders, colours, pins and prompts.
• The text of the chats you open, so that you can search and export it later. It is kept for up to
  1,000 chats, and the oldest are removed when that is exceeded. The Free plan searches the 20 most
  recent of them; Pro searches all of them.
• Your licence key and trial dates.

All of this is kept in the browser's extension storage on your computer. It is not sent to any
server, and Chatshelf has no analytics, advertising or account. Removing the extension deletes it.
Backup files and exports are created only when you ask, and are saved where you choose.


Two things, and only these.

• Your licence key, when you activate a Pro pass and about once a day afterwards, to the licence
  server operated for this product, which checks it with the payment provider (Payhip). No chat text,
  titles or page addresses are included.
• A suggestion or problem report, only when you press Send on the suggestion form. It sends the text
  you typed, the kind of message you chose, your email address if you added one, and the extension
  version, to the same server, so that the message can be read and answered. Nothing is sent before
  you press Send. In Firefox the browser asks your permission first.

You can also send a suggestion at https://chatshelf-app.pages.dev/roadmap.


It does not call the chat sites' internal APIs, does not send your conversations to us or to any
third party, and does not delete or change chats on the sites.

• Access to chatgpt.com, claude.ai, gemini.google.com and chat.openai.com: to show the section and read the open chat.
• storage and unlimitedStorage: to keep the data above, which can grow with the saved chat text.
