Summary
AI Chat Folders is a browser extension that lets you organize your
conversations on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok into folders. The
extension is local-first by architecture: your folders,
their names, your color choices, and your chat-to-folder assignments
live in your browser via chrome.storage.local and
chrome.storage.sync. We do not run a server. We do not
receive your data. There is nothing on our end to leak.
What the extension reads
To organize your chats, the extension reads chat titles from the AI platforms you use. That's the short text label for each conversation in the platform's sidebar.
The extension does not read the contents of your conversations. It does not access messages, attached files, system prompts, or any other data inside a chat.
What the extension stores
Stored locally in your browser:
- Folder names you create
- Folder colors you choose
- Folder structure and ordering
- Chat-to-folder assignments (which chat IDs belong to which folder)
- UI preferences (sidebar visibility, collapsed state, etc.)
If you have Chrome sync enabled on your browser profile, this data may
sync across your own devices via Google's standard
chrome.storage.sync mechanism. That sync is between you and
Google. Raw Albedo is not involved and cannot see the data.
What we transmit
Nothing. The extension does not send your data — folder structure, chat titles, IDs, usage patterns, or anything else — to any Raw Albedo server or any third-party server. We don't operate analytics, telemetry, error reporting, or "anonymous usage data" collection.
What we don't do
- We don't track you.
- We don't log your chats.
- We don't sell or share data with third parties.
- We don't use your data for advertising or marketing.
- We don't use your data to train models.
- We don't require an account, signup, or login.
Permissions
The extension requests the minimum permissions needed to function:
storage
Used to save your folder structure locally on your device. Required for the extension to remember your folders between sessions.
activeTab
Used to inject the folder management UI into the AI chat platform tab you're currently viewing.
Host access
The extension runs only on the four supported AI chat platforms:
chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com,
claude.ai, gemini.google.com,
grok.com, and x.com/i/grok. It does not run on
any other site you visit.
Your data, your control
Because everything is stored locally, you control all of it.
- Export: Use the extension's built-in export feature to download your folder data as a JSON file at any time.
- Delete: Uninstall the extension to remove all of its data from your browser. You can also clear extension data manually via your browser's extension settings.
- Inspect: All stored data is visible in your browser's developer tools under the extension's storage area.
Children
The extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children. Since it doesn't collect data at all, this section is more or less a formality.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in any meaningful way — for example, if a future Pro tier introduces a feature that genuinely needs to send data somewhere — we'll update this page and the version number above. We'll also announce the change in the extension's release notes. Material changes will not happen quietly.
