ReadBack by Transmitter Studios
Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 14, 2026
ReadBack is a Chrome extension that helps agency operators capture search activity observed in their own ChatGPT conversations and turn it into local Answer Briefs.
Single purpose
ReadBack observes conversation data in the operator’s active
chatgpt.com tab after an explicit Capture action. It uses
that data only to identify observed search queries, citations, and
related evidence and to produce local content-planning materials.
How Capture works
- You finish a ChatGPT answer in your own logged-in session.
- You click Capture in ReadBack.
- ReadBack visibly reloads the selected ChatGPT conversation.
- During that pending Capture, ReadBack observes only the matching conversation response loaded by ChatGPT.
- The resulting capture and Answer Brief are stored locally in your browser.
Data ReadBack handles
- Client metadata you enter, including name, market, vertical, and optional website
- Prompt queue text you enter
- Conversation identifiers and the prompt and answer from the selected ChatGPT conversation
- Observed search queries, tool metadata, use-case information, and citations included in the conversation response
- Locally generated Answer Briefs, reports, and research probes
Storage and retention
Product data is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB and
Chrome local storage. Short-lived pending Capture state is stored in
chrome.storage.session and cleared after success, timeout,
or expiry.
Raw conversation JSON is retained only when ReadBack detects parser or schema drift so that the capture can be recovered. You can delete clients, captures, and reports from ReadBack. Uninstalling the extension removes its local extension storage.
Data sharing
ReadBack does not:
- Send prompts or conversation data to ReadBack or Transmitter Studios servers
- Sell, rent, or share user data with third parties
- Use conversation data for advertising or profiling
- Include analytics or telemetry containing chat content
- Sync captured data between devices
- Access or store ChatGPT session tokens, cookies, or authorization headers
- Automate the ChatGPT composer or submit prompts
Chrome permissions
- chatgpt.com access: Runs the declared content scripts required to observe the selected conversation response during an explicit Capture.
- Storage: Stores local preferences and short-lived pending Capture state.
- Side panel: Provides the ReadBack user interface.
ReadBack does not request access to all websites, cookies,
chrome.scripting, webRequest, or the Chrome
debugger.
Limited Use
The use of information received from Google APIs and Chrome extension APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy , including the Limited Use requirements. ReadBack uses accessed data only to provide its disclosed local Capture and Answer Brief features.
Changes to this policy
If ReadBack’s data-handling practices change, this policy and the extension’s in-product disclosures will be updated before the changed behavior is introduced.
