Trust
Privacy & Security
ThinkForge Chat is built around a simple rule: Your AI conversations are not ours to store. Everything else flows from that.
The Short Version
- Your AI chats stay on the AI platform
- ThinkForge Chat stores organization metadata
- No cloud sync — everything stays local
- Nothing is sold, tracked, or advertised
If that's all you care about, you can stop reading here.
Local-First by Default
By default, ThinkForge Chat stores data locally in your browser.
That includes:
- Projects and folders
- Tags
- Conversation references (URLs, titles)
- Personas
- Forge Docs
Nothing leaves your machine.
What Is Never Stored
These are intentionally out of scope:
Your prompts
AI responses
AI account credentials
Private platform data
ThinkForge Chat reads what's visible on the page so it can navigate — nothing more.
Why This Matters
This design means:
- No massive cloud storage of conversations
- No ambiguous data ownership
- No surprise AI training concerns
Your thinking stays yours.
Permissions (Plain English)
The extension needs permission to:
Read AI chat pages so it can index them
Inject navigation UI
Store your organization data
Open new tabs for branching
It does not:
- Read other websites
- Access other tabs
- Track browsing behavior
Data Control
You can:
- Export your data at any time
- Delete projects, folders, and tags
- Clear all extension data
- Delete your account
There is no lock-in.
Security Posture
- HTTPS for all network traffic
- Encrypted data at rest
- No third-party trackers
- Minimal surface area
Boring is the goal here.
Bottom Line
ThinkForge Chat exists to organize your thinking — not harvest it. If you ever feel unsure, this page should give you clarity, not reassurance fluff.
