FileUploadGPT is a Chrome extension that helps users upload large documents to ChatGPT by automatically splitting them into chunks and sending them sequentially. The extension also provides quick prompt shortcuts for common tasks.
FileUploadGPT does NOT collect, store, or transmit any user data.
Specifically:
- We do not collect personally identifiable information
- We do not collect browsing history or web activity
- We do not collect authentication credentials
- We do not collect file contents or document data
- We do not use cookies or tracking mechanisms
- We do not store any data locally or remotely
-
File Processing: When you upload a document, it is processed entirely in your browser. The file is parsed locally using open-source libraries (PDF.js and Mammoth.js).
-
ChatGPT Integration: The processed text is sent directly to ChatGPT through your browser by simulating user input into the ChatGPT interface. This data goes directly to OpenAI, not through our servers.
-
Quick Actions: Prompt templates are inserted directly into the ChatGPT input field in your browser. No data is sent to any third-party servers.
The extension interacts with ChatGPT (chat.openai.com and chatgpt.com). Any data sent to ChatGPT is subject to OpenAI's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy:
- OpenAI Terms: https://openai.com/terms
- OpenAI Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/privacy
The extension requires the following permissions:
- activeTab: Allows the extension to interact with the currently active ChatGPT tab
- scripting: Enables injection of scripts into ChatGPT pages to paste text and apply prompts
- offscreen: Allows parsing of PDF and DOCX files in a background context for better performance
- host_permissions (chat.openai.com, chatgpt.com): Required to interact with ChatGPT's interface
These permissions are used solely for the extension's core functionality and do not enable any data collection.
Since FileUploadGPT does not collect or store any data, there is no user data that could be compromised. All file processing happens locally in your browser, and documents are never transmitted to our servers.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted at this URL with an updated "Last Updated" date.
For questions or concerns about this privacy policy, please open an issue at: https://github.com/Yakeen828/FileUploadGPT/issues
FileUploadGPT is committed to transparency. The extension's source code is available for review.
Summary: FileUploadGPT processes files locally in your browser and does not collect, store, or transmit any user data to third-party servers. All data sent to ChatGPT goes directly to OpenAI through your browser.
