Privacy Policy

Pinny – The Keeper (“Pinny”, “we”, “our”, or “the extension”) is designed with a privacy-first approach. This Privacy Policy explains what data the extension handles, how it is stored, and how users maintain control of their information.

1. Overview

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

Pinny is built using a local-first design, meaning user data is stored directly on the user's device and not on external servers.

Pinny does not:

  • Track browsing behavior
  • Collect personal user accounts
  • Sell or share user data with third parties
  • Store conversations on external servers

2. Data Collection

Pinny does not collect personal information from users.

The extension only processes information that users explicitly choose to save while using the extension.

Pinny does not collect:

  • Names
  • Email addresses
  • Passwords
  • Payment information
  • Device identifiers
  • Browsing history outside of ChatGPT pages

All information processed by the extension remains local to the user's browser.

3. Information the Extension Handles

The extension may handle the following information when the user interacts with it:

  • ChatGPT messages that the user manually chooses to pin
  • Tags or labels created by the user
  • Categories created for organizing pinned messages
  • Basic extension settings or preferences

Pinned messages may contain text that users previously entered into ChatGPT conversations.

Pinny does not analyze, profile, or process this information beyond storing it locally at the user's request.

4. How Data Is Stored

All saved messages, tags, and preferences are stored locally in the user's browser using the following browser storage system:

chrome.storage.local

This means:

  • Data remains on the user's device
  • No external servers store or process this data
  • The developer of Pinny cannot access the stored information
  • The extension does not transmit saved content to external systems

If the user clears browser storage or uninstalls the extension, stored data may be permanently deleted.

5. Data Sharing

Pinny does not sell, transfer, or share user data with third parties.

The extension does not send user data to:

  • Advertising networks
  • Analytics providers
  • External APIs
  • Data brokers
  • Marketing services

All processed information remains on the user's device.

6. Permissions

Pinny requires permission to access content on ChatGPT pages in order to enable message pinning functionality.

This permission allows the extension to:

  • Detect messages visible in the ChatGPT interface
  • Allow users to select and save messages they choose to pin
  • Display saved messages inside the extension interface

The extension only interacts with content on ChatGPT pages when the user actively uses the pin feature.

Pinny does not monitor activity on unrelated websites.

7. Data Retention

Because Pinny uses local storage:

  • Data is retained only on the user's device
  • Data remains stored until the user deletes it
  • The developer does not maintain backups of user content
  • The developer cannot recover deleted information

Users control how long their saved messages remain stored.

8. User Control

Users have full control over the data stored by the extension.

Users can:

  • View all saved messages
  • Delete individual pinned messages
  • Clear all stored data
  • Uninstall the extension at any time

Uninstalling the extension removes locally stored extension data.

9. Security

Pinny does not transmit user data externally. Because all information is stored locally in the browser, security depends on:

  • The security of the user's device
  • The security of the Chrome browser
  • Other extensions installed in the browser

Users are encouraged to keep their browser updated and avoid installing untrusted extensions.

10. Children's Privacy

Pinny is not intended for children under the age of 13.

The extension does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Because Pinny does not collect personal information or maintain user accounts, it does not maintain profiles for any users.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if extension features change.

When updates occur, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised.

Continued use of the extension after updates indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
