Chatwait shows a sponsored line while ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini is generating a response. It is built to avoid reading, storing, or transmitting any chat content. Here is exactly what that means.

What the extension collects

Only for qualified ad impressions and clicks:

✓An anonymous device ID generated by the extension
✓The site hostname, such as chatgpt.com
✓The sponsored card ID that was shown
✓Event type: impression or click
✓Impression dwell time in milliseconds
✓Event timestamp

Signing in with Google links your device ID to your Google account so you can see your earnings and referral link on the dashboard.

What it never collects

✕Your prompt text
✕AI responses
✕Chat history
✕Page screenshots
✕Browsing history outside the three supported sites
✕Passwords, cookies, or authentication tokens

Why we collect event data

To count valid ad impressions and clicks
To prevent duplicate and fraudulent impressions
To attribute pending earnings to your anonymous device ID
To link a device to your Google account when you sign in

Desktop-link emails

If you ask us to email the desktop installation link, we store the email address you enter, the referral code and campaign parameters in the page URL, and the page and installation links. We use this data to send the requested one-time email and measure where installation requests came from. We do not add the address to a marketing list.

Your controls

You can pause sponsored cards at any time from the extension popup. Pausing stores a local setting and stops new cards from being shown.

The extension is open source.
