ContextSwitchAI is a free Chrome browser extension. It has no corporate entity, no paid tier, no subscription, and no business model that depends on your data. The extension is developed and maintained as a project by Aditya Mittal and Manas Tiwari, and is distributed through the Chrome Web Store at no cost.
This privacy policy describes how the extension handles information when you use it.
We do not collect any personal data.
The extension does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information, usage data, browsing history, conversation content, or any other data. There is no analytics integration, no crash reporting service, no remote logging of any kind.
The extension has no backend server, no database, and no network requests of its own. Every operation — parsing conversations, compressing text, building the JSON export, attaching files to AI chat inputs — happens entirely inside your browser process and never leaves your device.
When you click "Export Chat Memory," the extension reads the text content of the current AI chat page using the browser's DOM APIs. This content is:
chrome.storage.local so it can be automatically attached when you navigate to another AI platform in the same sessionThis locally stored data never leaves your browser. It is not synced via chrome.storage.sync. It is not sent to any remote endpoint.
You can clear this data at any time by clicking the reset button (↺) in the extension popup, or by clearing your browser's extension storage in chrome://settings.
The extension requests the following Chrome permissions. Each is used for a specific, limited purpose:
chrome.storage.local so it can be auto-attached to a new AI chat tab in the same session. Also used to persist your notes between popup opens.No permission grants access to your browsing history, bookmarks, passwords, cookies, or any other browser data. The extension only ever reads content from the specific AI chat pages it is explicitly authorised to access.
The extension does not use, load, or communicate with any third-party services, APIs, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or CDNs at runtime. All code that executes is bundled within the extension package itself.
The extension interacts with the AI platforms you visit (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) only insofar as it reads their page content and attaches files to their chat input. This interaction is subject to each platform's own privacy policy and terms of service. ContextSwitchAI has no affiliation with any of these platforms.
This extension is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. Since the extension collects no information from anyone, there is no special handling required for minors.
Since no data leaves your device, the security of your conversation exports is entirely within your control. The exported JSON files are stored in your local Downloads folder and are subject to the same security as all other files on your computer.
We recommend treating exported conversation files with the same care you would apply to any sensitive document, particularly if the conversations contain personal, financial, or confidential information.
If we make material changes to this privacy policy — for example, if a future version of the extension adds any form of network functionality — we will update the "Last updated" date above and increment the extension version. We will not introduce data collection without first updating this policy and making the change visible in the Chrome Web Store listing.
The current version of this policy always applies to the current version of the extension.
Because we collect no personal data, there is no data to access, correct, export, or delete. If you wish to remove all locally stored extension data from your browser, you can do so by:
