GPTFlowGPTFlow privacy and data
What does GPTFlow do with your data? In short: it has no server, requires no account and saves the cache locally in your browser.
How GPTFlow works
GPTFlow is an independent ChatGPT extension, not affiliated with OpenAI. It works as a mirror of ChatGPT: it keeps the native features and adds tab navigation, search, filters and more. Your ChatGPT account stays the one you normally use and nothing changes: you add the extension to the browser, open ChatGPT and the extension loads automatically.
No server, no account
- GPTFlow has no server where your chats are sent.
- You do not need any registration or account to use the extension.
- Signing up from the landing page with "Prova Gratis" only serves to receive the release email and the discount for the Pro version, not to use the extension.
Where the data goes: the local cache
| Cache | Version | What it saves | When it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | Free and Pro | The text part of chats | On by default |
| Advanced | Pro | Images, video, audio and attachments | Enabled from the panel by clicking the logo, and only acts if the chat contains media |
Both caches save the data locally, in your browser's database (IndexedDB), so on your device and not on a GPTFlow server. They serve to reopen and continue chats whenever you want. Content stays saved until you delete the chat.
How to check it yourself
If you are curious, you can verify it: open the browser's developer tools (F12 key), go to the Application tab and open the IndexedDB section. There you see the databases the browser keeps locally for the site.
What does not change
ChatGPT keeps working as always with your account and its rules: GPTFlow does not replace OpenAI's service, it works on top of it. To know how OpenAI handles conversation data, refer to its own policy.
