Privacy Policy

Effective August 20, 2026 · Version 1.3.0

The short version. SaveAI is local-first. Most export formats are produced inside your own browser. PDF export is rendered on our server by default — your conversation is uploaded for rendering — and you can switch PDF to local rendering in the extension settings. The only data we keep server-side is what's needed to run a sign-in: your email, your Google sign-in identifier, account timestamps, and the number of PDFs you've exported today (for capacity planning). Nothing else. We do not train models on your data. We do not sell data. We have no ads.

1. Scope

This policy covers the SaveAI browser extension (the "Extension"), the website at www.saveai.one (the "Website"), and the account and backend services we operate (the "Services"). Together we refer to these as "SaveAI".

2. Data the Extension stores locally

The Extension stores the following data on your device only, using Chrome's local storage and IndexedDB APIs:

Apart from the per-export usage event described in Section 5, none of this data is uploaded to our servers by the Extension itself.

3. Data the Extension does not collect

4. Data we store server-side (only when you use the Services)

When you choose to sign in on the Website, or submit a feedback or uninstall form, the Services may receive and store the following. Note: Word, Markdown, JSON, TXT and long-screenshot exports are generated locally in your browser and are never transmitted to us. PDF export is rendered on our server by default — the styled conversation HTML (including images) is sent to our server, rendered to a PDF, and served from a private, hard-to-guess download link. You can switch PDF to local rendering in the extension settings so that nothing is uploaded.

What we do not store: payment information of any kind. SaveAI is completely free to use — every feature and every export format is free and unlimited — so there is nothing to charge for and no card details to store.

Share-link tool (Website): when you paste a public AI share link into the tool at /tools/share-to-pdf/, that URL is sent to our server. Our server fetches the public page, converts it and returns the result within the same request — the conversation itself is not stored. The one exception is PDF output, which has to be written to a file on our server so your browser can download it; that file is deleted automatically after 7 days, like every other PDF we render. We only fetch URLs that match a fixed list of supported sites, and we do not follow links found inside the fetched content.

5. Extension usage statistics (optional)

After a successful export, the Extension sends one usage event to our own server (saveai.one) — never to any third party; the Google Analytics reporting described in earlier versions of this policy has been removed. An event contains: the export format, the action (save or copy), the surface that triggered it (in-page button, preview page or side panel), the chat title (which becomes the exported file's name) and the source site (e.g. chatgpt). As with any web request, our server also receives and stores the request time, your IP address and your browser's user-agent string. If you are signed in, the event is linked to your SaveAI account; otherwise it is stored without one.

We use these events solely to understand which features are used and to improve the product. They contain no conversation content and are never shared with or sold to anyone.

You can turn this reporting off at any time in the Extension's options (Settings → General → Usage statistics); when disabled, nothing is sent. On Firefox, the browser's own data-collection consent applies in addition. A local-only daily counter shown in the popup always stays on your device.

6. Communicating with supported AI sites

When you trigger an export on a supported AI site (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, NotebookLM, AI Studio, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Kimi, Microsoft Copilot, GitHub, Tencent Yuanbao, Doubao, Qwen), the Extension's content script reads the conversation directly from that site — either by reading the rendered page or by calling the site's own conversation API while you are signed in. The session cookie used for these requests is your own cookie that already exists in your browser; the Extension does not transmit it anywhere outside that AI site.

Word, Markdown, JSON, TXT and long-screenshot exports are generated entirely on your device. PDF export is rendered on our server by default: the styled conversation HTML (including images) is uploaded to our server, rendered to a PDF by headless Chromium, and served from a private, hard-to-guess download link. You can switch PDF to a local engine (produced in the browser with jsPDF) in the extension settings, in which case no conversation HTML is uploaded.

7. Cookies on the Website

The Website sets the following cookies when you sign in:

The Website does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking pixels. We do not embed Facebook pixels, TikTok pixels, or comparable trackers.

8. Third-party services

The Extension does not load remote code, contact any other servers, or embed third-party trackers in the popup, side panel, options page, or preview page.

9. International data transfer

Our servers are hosted in Tokyo, Japan. If you access the Services from another country, your data will be transferred to and processed in Japan. By using the Services you consent to this transfer.

10. Children's privacy

SaveAI is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from such users. If you believe a child has signed up, contact us and we will delete the account.

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete the personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, email us from the address tied to your account; we'll respond within 30 days. The personal data we hold about an account-holder is the short list in Section 4 — so a deletion request is fast to honour.

12. Data retention & deletion

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Material changes will be announced in the Chrome Web Store listing and on this page, with the Effective date updated at the top. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

A bilingual (English + Chinese) version of the Extension-only privacy policy is also distributed with the Extension itself at install time. Where translations differ, this English version controls.
