AI Toolbox Data Privacy: Your Information Security is Our Priority
AI Toolbox keeps your ChatGPT conversations in your browser's IndexedDB and never stores them on our servers, and you can verify that yourself: open DevTools and go to Application, Storage, IndexedDB. What you build in the extension, such as folders, prompts, and bookmarks, is stored on our servers, encrypted at rest, so it syncs across your devices. This page covers exactly what is stored and where.
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on chatgpt toolbox data privacy. we explore how our robust privacy measures ensure that your information remains secure while you leverage our powerful tools.
With tools like AI Toolbox, which enhance productivity and streamline workflows, it’s natural to question how your data is handled. We take data security seriously and have built our solutions with your privacy in mind. This blog post details how your data is stored, handled, and kept safe.
We understand that the content of your ChatGPT conversations is highly sensitive. Whether you're discussing business strategies, personal matters, or brainstorming creative ideas, protecting this data is paramount.
How We Handle ChatGPT Conversation Data
ChatGPT conversations stay in your browser and are never stored on our servers.
- Install AI Toolbox from the Chrome Web Store (free)
- Open ChatGPT at chatgpt.com
- Use the enhanced sidebar for folders, search, and prompts
- Organize conversations into folders by topic or project
- Use // shortcut to access saved prompts instantly
1. Sensitive Data Stays Local
The most sensitive data, your chat conversations, stays in your browser. If you open the Inspect tool and navigate to Application → Storage → IndexedDB, you will find all the conversation data stored locally. Your chats are never stored on our servers. Three features you trigger yourself, PDF export, Context Mentions on a long chat, and Carry this chat forward, send the text of the chat you pick to our servers for processing, and nothing is kept afterwards.
You can also monitor network requests to see exactly what is sent and when, giving you full control and transparency.
2. What Is Stored on Our Servers
What is saved on our servers is the organization you build: folders with their chat IDs, saved prompts, bookmarks, labels, smart tag rules, pins, usage statistics, and settings. Chat IDs are not linked to any sensitive content and cannot be used without your unique authentication token. You can verify this by monitoring network requests.
3. Why Prompts Are Encrypted
Prompts are saved to enable seamless synchronization across devices. For instance, if you're using AI Toolbox on both your laptop and desktop, encrypted prompts ensure that you can access the same saved content securely. They are encrypted at rest with keys AI Toolbox holds (this is not end-to-end encryption), which protects them if the database is ever accessed without authorization. If you prefer, you can switch saved prompts to device-only storage in Settings.
