Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

AI Vault is a local-first browser extension. This policy is short because there isn't much to say — that's on purpose.

What data is collected

None. AI Vault does not collect, transmit, or have access to any of your data beyond your own device.

Reads text you've explicitly highlighted on claude.ai or chatgpt.com, only when you click Save or press the save hotkey.
Writes that text to a Markdown file in your own Downloads folder, using Chrome's built-in downloads API.
Stores one setting locally on your device — the name of the subfolder to save into — using Chrome's local storage API. This never leaves your device.
Shows a local system notification confirming a save happened.

No data is sent to any server, by us or anyone else.
No analytics, tracking, or telemetry of any kind.
No account, sign-in, or identifying information is collected.
No data is shared with third parties, because none is collected in the first place.

downloads — to write the saved Markdown file to your Downloads folder.
activeTab — to read your current text selection on the active tab, only when you trigger a save.
storage — to remember your chosen save-folder name, locally on your device.
notifications — to show a small "Saved" confirmation.
Host access to claude.ai and chatgpt.com — so the Save button can appear on those two sites specifically. AI Vault does not run on, or have access to, any other site.

If this ever changes, this page will be updated and the date above will reflect it. Given the extension's scope, we don't expect that to happen.
