Version 1.2.0 · 20 October 2026. This policy explains how AiXSafe File Guard processes local files on your device.
AiXSafe File Guard processes selected local files on your device to mask numeric values you configure before supported uploads to ChatGPT. It is an independent extension and is not affiliated with OpenAI.
Configured numbers are saved in Chrome extension local storage, restricted to trusted extension pages. They are not synced through Chrome Sync. Selected files and OCR results are processed in memory by packaged code and models, without an AiXSafe server or external OCR service. The extension uses file names transiently to select a parser, but does not retain them in usage statistics. Closing the editor clears its working preview; downloaded outputs remain wherever you save them.
Local statistics store scan outcomes, source category, time and counts of masked regions or values. They contain no source file names, protected numbers, extracted text, chat content, browsing history, account IDs or device IDs. Totals remain until reset or uninstall; the recent-event list is limited to 100 records. You can pause recording, reset statistics and export a count-only JSON report from the editor. Export is a local download and is shared only if you choose to share it. Historical preview logs are removed on upgrade.
The extension does not send analytics or source files to AiXSafe, advertisers or analytics providers. Supported image interception hands a sanitized output to ChatGPT's attachment control automatically; documents require review first. Manual editors require review before attachment. ChatGPT handles any resulting attachment according to its own policies. No message is sent automatically by this extension. Downloads and exports are under your control.
Google separately provides Chrome Web Store installation and listing metrics to publishers under Google's policies. Those metrics are separate from local scan statistics. There is no Google Analytics SDK or remote tracking endpoint in this extension.
Use Forget numbers to remove settings; Reset local statistics to delete counts; uninstall to remove extension-local data. OCR can miss text and does not detect every kind of personal information. Cloud imports, other devices and unsupported upload paths are outside its coverage. Review outputs before sharing.
