ChatGPT Turbo Mode ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension developed by MindlessIT. Its sole purpose is to improve the rendering performance of long ChatGPT conversations by intelligently managing which messages are active in the browser's DOM at any given time.
This Privacy Policy describes what data the Extension accesses, what it stores, and what it never does. We have designed the Extension from the ground up to require no personal data to function.
The Extension stores only your configuration preferences — the four settings available in the popup:
Settings are written to Chrome's built-in sync storage API. This means your preferences are encrypted and associated with your Google account — they sync across your signed-in Chrome browsers automatically. MindlessIT has no access to this storage. We cannot read, modify, or delete your settings. Only you can.
When you uninstall the Extension, Chrome removes all stored data automatically. Nothing persists after uninstallation.
The Extension makes zero network requests. It does not connect to MindlessIT servers, third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or any external endpoints. The only domain it is permitted to access is chatgpt.com — and that access is limited to injecting the performance optimization code into the page, not to reading or transmitting your data.
The Extension requests the minimum permissions necessary to function:
| Permission | Why it's needed | What it does NOT allow |
|---|---|---|
| storage | Save your four settings so they persist between sessions | Read or write any other data |
| scripting | Inject the DOM optimization code into ChatGPT pages | Run code on any site other than chatgpt.com |
| activeTab | Determine which tab is currently active for ChatGPT | Access other open tabs or tab history |
The Extension explicitly does not request permissions for tabs, history, cookies, identity, or network interception. You can verify this in chrome://extensions → Details → Permissions.
ChatGPT Turbo Mode works by moving older message elements out of the active DOM and into an in-memory document fragment. This is a browser-side operation — equivalent to cutting and pasting HTML nodes. The Extension never reads the text content of messages, never parses what you or ChatGPT has written, and never transmits anything.
The optimization is structural, not semantic. The Extension treats messages as opaque DOM nodes — it doesn't care what they say.
Because we collect no personal data, most data-rights requests are satisfied by default. That said:
This policy is consistent with GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and other applicable privacy frameworks. We do not sell, share, or monetize any user data — because we have none to sell.
If we update this policy in a material way, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Extension after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with any change, you may uninstall the Extension at any time.
