AI Chat Exporter · Last updated: April 2026

AI Chat Exporter is a browser extension for Chrome and Edge that exports conversations from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot as local files (HTML, ZIP, Markdown, PDF). This policy explains what data is processed and how.

Summary

• All processing happens locally in your browser.
• No data is sent to the extension developer or any third party.
• No analytics, no tracking, no advertising.
• The extension only activates on the four supported chat platforms and is completely inactive on all other websites.

ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot

For these platforms, the extension reads content exclusively from the already-rendered DOM — the page that is already loaded in your browser. No additional network requests are made. Nothing is uploaded or transmitted.

Claude (claude.ai)

Claude uses its official API to provide complete and structured export data, including Artifacts, Thinking blocks, and generated files. To do this, the extension makes authenticated requests to claude.ai on your behalf.

What is requested and why

Request	Endpoint	Purpose
GET	/api/organizations/{orgId}/chat_conversations/{id}	Fetch the full conversation data for export
GET	/api/bootstrap or /api/organizations	Determine your organisation ID (only if not already known from an intercepted page request)
GET	/api/share/{id}	Fetch shared conversations (no authentication required)
GET	Image URL on claude.ai	Fetch embedded images as Base64 for self-contained exports (only when "Embed images" option is enabled)

What is transmitted

Each request uses your browser's existing session cookies for claude.ai — the same cookies already sent during normal use of the website. The extension does not read, store, or forward any additional credentials (passwords, API keys, tokens).

All requests go exclusively to claude.ai. No data is sent to the extension developer or any other destination.

Data flow

Conversation data is fetched into browser memory, converted into the chosen export format, and saved to a local file via the browser's download dialog. It is never uploaded, forwarded, or cached beyond the current browser session.

Temporary session storage

chrome.storage.session is used solely to pass data from the active tab to the Preview & Select page within the same browser session. This storage is automatically cleared when the browser is closed.

What the extension does not do

• Does not read, store, or transmit your password or any API key
• Does not modify conversations or send any write requests
• Does not collect usage data, statistics, or telemetry
• Does not load external scripts or resources into the extension itself
  (CDN libraries are only referenced inside sandboxed iframes within exported artifact files)
• Does not run on any website other than the four supported platforms

Third-party libraries in exported files

When exporting Claude Artifacts (interactive React apps, Mermaid diagrams, etc.), the resulting HTML file may contain references to CDN-hosted libraries (React, Mermaid, Babel, Tailwind CSS, Recharts). These references are loaded by the exported file, not by the extension itself, and only when you open the exported file in a browser with an active internet connection.

Permissions

Permission	Reason
activeTab	Read content from the currently active chat tab on export
scripting	Inject the content script that reads the conversation
storage	Pass data to the Preview & Select page via session storage
downloads	Save the exported file to the user's downloads folder
contextMenus	Add the right-click "Export chat" context menu entry
