Privacy policy
In short: PromptClean does not collect, send, sell or share any data. It has no servers and no account. Everything it does happens in your browser, on your device.
Who we are
PromptClean is published by Alwin Paldano. Questions about this policy go to alwinpaldano@gmail.com.
What the extension reads, and when
- On chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com, claude.ai, gemini.google.com, copilot.microsoft.com, copilot.com, perplexity.ai, chat.deepseek.com and grok.com: the text in the site's prompt box. It reads it while you type, to show a note when the draft holds something sensitive (you can turn this off in PromptClean's Options), and when you open PromptClean or press one of its keyboard shortcuts.
- On any other page: only text you have selected or the field you are typing in, and only after you click PromptClean's toolbar button or one of its right-click menu items, or press one of its keyboard shortcuts.
- It reads nothing else on any page: not other fields, not your history, not other tabs.
What it stores on your device
- Settings: which sites show the button, and which options are on. These are kept in Chrome's extension storage. If you use Chrome Sync, Chrome may copy these settings to your other devices; they never contain anything you typed.
- History, only if you turn it on: off by default. When on, it keeps up to 30 recent results, and only their redacted text, on this device. Turning it off, or pressing "Clear history" in Options, erases it.
- The link between a placeholder and its real value (for example, which name became
[NAME_1]) is held in memory only. It is dropped when you insert the result, close the panel or press reset, and it is never written to disk.
Removing the extension removes what it stored on this device.
What it sends
Nothing. The extension makes no network requests of any kind: no analytics, no crash reports, no logs, no licence checks. Its build includes an automated check that fails if a network request is ever added. What you finally send to an AI site is sent by you, through that site, under that site's own terms.
Sharing and selling
We do not receive your data, so there is nothing to share or sell. We do not sell or transfer user data to third parties, use it for purposes unrelated to the extension's single purpose, or use it to determine creditworthiness or for lending.
The uninstall survey
When you remove the extension, Chrome opens a short, optional survey asking why. It is a Google Form. The extension sends nothing to it, and the address carries no information about you. If you answer, we see only what you choose to type, and Google's privacy policy applies to the form itself.
This website
This site uses no cookies, analytics, advertising or third-party scripts or fonts. It is hosted on GitHub Pages, which, like any web host, may keep standard server logs such as IP addresses for security; GitHub's privacy statement covers those.
Children
PromptClean is a work tool and is not directed at children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If what the extension reads, stores or sends ever changes, we will update this page and its effective date before releasing that version, and say so in the release notes.
