Privacy Policy

Pinny – The Keeper (“Pinny”, “we”, “our”, or “the extension”) is designed with a privacy-first, local-only architecture. This policy explains in a clear, structured manner how user data is handled in compliance with Chrome Web Store requirements.

1. Overview

Pinny is a Chrome extension that allows users to save and organize selected ChatGPT messages.

  • No backend servers
  • No external databases
  • No tracking or analytics

All functionality is executed locally within the user's browser.

4. Data Handling Clarification

The extension operates using on-device processing only:

  • Does not run background tracking
  • Does not process data outside user-triggered actions

All data handling is initiated and controlled by the user.

5. Data Storage

chrome.storage.local

This means:

  • The developer cannot access user data

9. Permissions Usage

Pinny requests access to ChatGPT pages solely to enable its functionality.

Permission: Access to ChatGPT pages

  • Purpose: Detect and allow selection of messages
