How ChatGPT Toolbox Keeps Your Information Secure
Your privacy is our top priority at ChatGPT Toolbox.

In today's digital age, privacy is a concern that users rightly prioritize. With tools like ChatGPT 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 the extension with your privacy in mind. This blog post will detail 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

1. Sensitive Data Stays Local 🛡️

The most sensitive data—your chat conversations—never leaves your browser. If you open the Inspect tool and navigate to Application → Storage → IndexedDB, you will find all the conversation data stored there. This ensures that the content of your chats is not transmitted over the internet or stored on any external servers.

Additionally, you can monitor network requests to confirm that no chat data is being sent out. This level of transparency ensures that you have full control over your data.

2. Minimal Data Beyond Prompts and Chat IDs

The only data that is saved beyond the chat content are chat IDs. These IDs are meaningless on their own and are not linked to any sensitive content. Furthermore, they cannot be used without the user's authentication token, which only you possess. Again, this can be verified by monitoring network requests.

3. Why Prompts Are Encrypted 🔒

Prompts are another critical component of ChatGPT Toolbox. These are often saved to allow seamless synchronization across devices. For example, if you're using ChatGPT Toolbox on both your laptop and desktop, having encrypted prompts ensures that you can access the same saved content no matter where you are.

By encrypting prompts, we ensure they are accessible only to you. Even in the highly unlikely event of unauthorized access, the data remains unreadable without your encryption key.

How We Prioritize Data Security

At ChatGPT Toolbox, we implement industry-best practices to secure your information. Here’s a deeper look at how we maintain the integrity of your data:

Data Stored Locally in Your Browser 🌐

All your chat data and prompts are stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB. This means no server has access to your conversations, and only you control the data. Local storage ensures maximum security by reducing the risk of data breaches.

End-to-End Transparency 🛠️

Transparency is at the core of our philosophy. Users can verify every action the extension performs by monitoring network requests. This empowers you to validate that no unauthorized data transfer occurs.

Encrypted Synchronization for Your Convenience 🔑

While we save prompts in an encrypted format for cross-device syncing, this feature is optional and designed with your security in mind. The encryption ensures that even during synchronization, the data remains private and secure.

Why You Can Trust ChatGPT Toolbox

Our commitment to privacy is more than just words—it’s embedded in the very design of ChatGPT Toolbox. From the way data is stored to the transparency of its operations, every decision is made with your trust in mind.

  • Your conversations remain local: No third-party servers have access to your chats.
  • Encryption for syncing: Prompts are encrypted, ensuring data safety during synchronization.
  • Verification through network requests: Users can validate our claims by monitoring data transfer activities.

By giving you control and visibility, we ensure that your data remains yours and yours alone.
