Privacy Policy for Threadly Chrome Extension

Last Updated: August 26, 2026

Thank you for using Threadly. Your privacy is a top priority for us. This policy explains what information the Threadly extension handles and why.

The core principle of Threadly is simple: Your data is your own. Threadly is designed to be a private, client-side tool. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data or conversation history to our servers or any third party.

1. Information We Handle

Threadly operates entirely within your browser. The information it handles is stored exclusively on your local computer using Chrome's built-in storage (chrome.storage.local). This data never leaves your device.

The information handled by the extension includes:

• Conversation Data: To provide its core functionality, Threadly reads the text of your conversations (both your prompts and the AI-generated responses) directly from the web page of the supported AI chat platform you are using. This data is used to populate the sidebar for searching and navigation.
• Favorites and Collections: When you "star" a message or create a collection, this information is saved. This includes the content of the message and the collection name you provide. This allows you to organize and access your most important messages.
• URL Information: The extension identifies the current website's URL (e.g., chat.openai.com) to activate itself and to create a unique storage key for that specific chat session. This ensures that conversations from different chats are saved separately.

2. How We Use This Information

The data handled by Threadly is used solely to provide and improve the extension's features on your local machine.

• To Display and Search Conversations: Your chat history is displayed in the sidebar to allow you to quickly search and navigate your current conversation.
• To Manage Favorites and Collections: Saved messages and collections are stored so you can access them across different chat sessions and supported platforms.
• To Provide a Platform-Aware Experience: The extension uses the website's identity to apply the correct theme and conversation-parsing logic.

We do not, and will never, do the following:

• Send your conversation data, favorites, or any other information to our servers.
• Share your data with any third parties, advertisers, or data brokers.
• Track your browsing activity across other websites.
• Use your data for any form of analytics, profiling, or advertising.

3. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored locally on your computer using the standard, secure chrome.storage.local API provided by your browser. You are in complete control of this data. You can clear all data stored by Threadly at any time by uninstalling the extension or manually clearing your browser's extension storage data.

4. Permissions

Threadly requests the following permission in its manifest.json file:

• storage: This permission is essential for the extension to save your conversations, favorites, and collections locally on your device. Without it, the extension cannot remember your data between sessions.

5. Third-Party Services

Threadly does not use any third-party analytics, advertising services, or APIs that would result in your data being shared. The only external resources used are for fonts (Google Fonts), which are loaded in a privacy-preserving manner.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
