MoveChat — Chrome Extension | Last updated: June 2026

Overview

MoveChat is a Chrome extension that captures AI chat sessions from supported platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) and allows users to transfer them to other platforms.

Data Collection

MoveChat does not collect any data.

No analytics or telemetry
No tracking of user behavior
No remote servers
No data is sent to any third party except the AI provider you explicitly configure

Data Storage

All data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's chrome.storage.local:

Conversation transcripts captured from chat platforms
Extension settings (theme, preferences, handoff templates)
API keys for AI compression (if you choose to configure them)

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it or resume a conversation on another platform.

API Keys

If you enable AI compression, you provide an API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini. This key:

Is stored locally in chrome.storage.local
Is sent only to the API endpoint of the provider you select
Is never transmitted to any other server
Can be deleted at any time via the extension's settings (Factory Reset)

Permissions

Permission	Purpose
`activeTab`	Capture conversations from the currently active tab
`storage`	Store conversations, settings, and API keys locally
`tabs`	Open new tabs when resuming conversations on other platforms
`scripting`	Inject content scripts into chat platform pages

`perplexity.ai`	Content script injection and conversation capture
`*.oaiusercontent.com`	Fetch ChatGPT-generated images for PDF export

`generativelanguage.googleapis.com`	AI Summary feature (Gemini API, if configured by user)
`images.unsplash.com`	Fetch Unsplash images for PDF export
`*.imgur.com`	Fetch Imgur-hosted images for PDF export

Host permissions are limited to the specific domains the extension interacts with. Images may be hosted on CDNs outside the four main platform domains, so additional image hosting domains are included to ensure conversations with images can be exported correctly. These permissions are used only for fetching images, not for accessing any other data.

Third-Party Services

MoveChat does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

The only external communication is between your browser and:

AI provider APIs — only if you configure AI Summary (e.g., api.openai.com, api.anthropic.com, generativelanguage.googleapis.com). This communication is initiated by you, not by the extension.
Image CDN domains — when exporting conversations that contain images hosted outside the main platform (e.g., oaiusercontent.com, googleusercontent.com). These fetches are triggered during PDF/ZIP export only.
