Google Meet Chat Downloader — Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 13, 2026
Google Meet Chat Downloader is a browser extension that allows users to download chat messages from an active Google Meet session as a plain text (.txt) file.
1. Information We Access
The extension accesses chat messages displayed on Google Meet pages when the user chooses to use the extension. This access is necessary to provide the core functionality of downloading the meeting chat.
2. How We Use Information
Chat messages are used solely to create the text file requested by the user. The extension does not use chat content for advertising, profiling, analytics, or any unrelated purpose.
3. Local Processing
Chat messages are processed locally in the user's browser. The extension does not transmit chat messages to our servers or upload them to a remote service.
4. Data Storage
The extension does not maintain a remote database of Google Meet chat messages. The downloaded TXT file is saved directly to the user's device using the browser's download functionality.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share Google Meet chat content with third parties. The extension does not send chat content to external servers or third-party services.
6. Permissions
The extension uses the following browser permissions:
- scripting: to run the extension's functionality on Google Meet pages and access the displayed chat.
- tabs: to identify the relevant active Google Meet tab.
- storage: to store extension settings and preferences locally in the browser.
- downloads: to save the Google Meet chat as a TXT file on the user's device.
-
Host permission: access to
https://meet.google.com/*is required for the extension to operate on Google Meet pages.
7. Remote Code
The extension does not use remote code. All JavaScript and WebAssembly
code used by the extension is included in the extension package.
The extension does not load or execute JavaScript or WebAssembly from
external servers and does not use eval() or similar
mechanisms to execute dynamically generated code.
8. Security
We take reasonable measures to keep the extension's data handling limited to what is necessary for its functionality. Since chat processing takes place locally in the browser, chat content is not transmitted to our infrastructure.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the extension or applicable requirements. Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
