Effective date: August 5, 2026
Chat Distiller is a Chrome extension that helps users distill an AI chat into a Markdown file saved in a directory they choose. This policy explains what data the extension handles and why.
When the user starts a distillation task, Chat Distiller may access:
The extension handles this data only when needed to provide its user-facing chat-distillation, duplicate-detection, task-recovery, and local-save features.
Chat Distiller uses chat content to submit the user’s distillation prompt in the current chat, detect the generated result, and save that result as a local Markdown file. The extension stores settings, task-recovery state, conversation identifiers, saved-file metadata, and prompt hashes in Chrome’s local extension storage. The selected directory handle is stored locally in the browser’s IndexedDB storage.
Generated Markdown is written only to the local directory selected by the user. If a save cannot finish, generated output may remain temporarily in local extension storage so the user can restore directory permission and retry.
Chat Distiller does not operate a developer-controlled backend, does not send analytics or advertising data, and does not upload chat content or saved files to the developer.
At the user’s request, Chat Distiller inserts and submits a distillation prompt to the supported AI chat service open in the current tab. That service already hosts the current conversation and processes the submitted prompt and generated response under its own terms and privacy policy. Chat Distiller does not send the conversation to any additional third party.
The developer does not sell, rent, or share user data with data brokers, advertisers, or other third parties. User data is not used for personalized advertising, creditworthiness, or any purpose unrelated to the extension’s single purpose.
The developer does not have access to or permit humans to read locally handled user data. The extension’s use of user data complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Extension settings and recovery metadata remain in the user’s Chrome profile until the user clears them, clears the extension’s site data, or uninstalls the extension. Temporary task data is replaced or cleared as tasks complete or are discarded. Files written to the selected directory remain there until the user deletes them. Users can revoke directory access or choose a different directory from the extension’s settings.
Chat Distiller limits access to supported HTTPS chat origins and to local directories explicitly selected and authorized by the user. Data handled by the extension remains in the user’s browser and local filesystem except for the prompt submitted to the supported AI service as described above.
This policy may be updated if the extension’s data practices or applicable requirements change. The effective date above will be updated when material changes are made.
