Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 3, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how the
Query Fanout Chrome extension ("the Extension", "we",
"our") handles user data. We are committed to protecting your privacy
and being transparent about our data practices.
Summary: Query Fanout processes data entirely on your
device. We do not collect, transmit, store, or share any of your
personal data with external servers or third parties.
1. Information We Access
The Extension accesses the following types of data solely to provide its
core functionality:
-
Web Page Content: When you visit supported AI
platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity), the Extension reads page
content to extract search queries that the AI used to answer your
questions.
-
API Responses: The Extension intercepts network
responses from the supported platforms to identify search queries
embedded in the AI's response data.
2. How We Use Information
The data accessed by the Extension is used exclusively to:
-
Display the search queries that AI models used to generate their
responses
-
Present this information to you in the Extension's popup interface
This is the sole user-facing feature of the Extension, as prominently
described in the Chrome Web Store listing and the Extension's user
interface.
3. Data Storage
All data processing occurs locally on your device:
-
Extracted query data is temporarily stored in your browser's
session storage
-
This data is automatically cleared when you close the browser tab
- No data is saved to your device's permanent storage
- No data is transmitted to any external servers
4. Data Sharing
We do not share, sell, rent, or transfer your data to
any third parties. Specifically:
- No data is sent to our servers (we do not operate any servers)
- No data is shared with advertisers or analytics services
- No data is sold or monetized in any way
- No data is transferred to third parties for any purpose
5. Data Security
Since all data remains on your device and is never transmitted
externally:
-
Your data is protected by your browser's built-in security measures
- Session storage data is isolated per-origin and per-tab
- No network transmission means no risk of data interception
6. Permissions Used
The Extension requests only the minimum permissions necessary:
-
activeTab: To access the content of the current tab
when you click the Extension icon
-
scripting: To inject scripts that read search query
data from AI platforms
-
storage: For internal Extension functionality (not
for storing user data)
-
Host permissions for chatgpt.com, claude.ai, perplexity.ai:
To access these specific sites where the Extension provides its
functionality
7. User Control
You have full control over your data:
-
Close the browser tab to clear all temporarily stored query data
-
Uninstall the Extension at any time to remove all Extension
functionality
-
The Extension does not collect any data when you're not on supported
AI platforms
8. Children's Privacy
The Extension is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do
not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be
reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We
encourage you to review this policy periodically.
