Chrome Extension Privacy Policy

Summary

The extension collects nothing. It has no backend, no account, no analytics and no telemetry. Nothing it observes is transmitted off the device or written to disk.

What the extension does

Pixel Debugger is a developer tool. It shows the developer what their own web page sent to the ChatGPT Ads measurement endpoints, decodes each request for display, and flags payloads that will not be accepted or attributed correctly.

What it reads

• Outgoing requests to the ChatGPT Ads measurement endpoints (bzr.openai.com and bzrcdn.openai.com), including their URL and request body. Requests to every other host are discarded without being read.
• Whether the ChatGPT Ads pixel SDK is present on the page, and whether the click-reference cookie is set. This is the context that explains why an event did or did not carry attribution.
• The address and title of the tab the side panel is attached to, so events are shown for the page being inspected.

Where that data goes

Nowhere. Captured events are held in the extension's memory for the current browsing session and are shown only in the side panel. They are discarded when the tab is closed, when the panel is cleared, or when the browser is restarted. The extension makes no network requests of its own.

What is not collected

• No browsing history, and no record of which sites were visited.
• No personal information, credentials, form contents or cookies beyond the single attribution cookie named above.
• No usage analytics, crash reporting, advertising identifiers or fingerprinting of any kind.
• Nothing is sold, shared or transferred to any third party, because nothing is collected in the first place.

Why the extension requests access to all sites

A ChatGPT Ads pixel can be installed on any domain, so the site a developer needs to debug cannot be known in advance. The permission is used solely to watch for requests to the two measurement endpoints listed above. Traffic to any other host is filtered out before anything is recorded or displayed.
