Privacy Policy — Folders & Bulk Manager for Claude
Effective date: July 8, 2026
Folders & Bulk Manager for Claude ("the extension", "we", "us") is a browser extension that helps you organize, search, and clean up your Claude chat history on claude.ai. This policy explains exactly what data the extension handles, why, and who processes it. It is written to be accurate to what the extension's code actually does.
In one sentence: your chats and your organization stay on your device; the only data that reaches us is your license key when you activate Pro, your email when you buy Pro (handled by our payment processor), and anonymous error signals that help us fix the extension when Claude changes its website.
1. Data that stays on your device
The following data is stored locally by the extension using your browser's extension storage and is never transmitted to us or to any third party:
- A local index of your chats — the chat ID and title of each chat as shown in the Claude sidebar, plus the time we last saw it. We read chat titles only to list and organize them. We never read, store, or transmit the contents of your conversations.
- Your organization — the folders you create (names and which chats you file in them) and the chats you pin.
- Extension settings — small preference flags (for example, whether Claude's menu currently offers an Archive action).
About cross-device sync. Your folder and pin layout is
stored using Chrome's extension storage, including storage.sync.
If you are signed in to Chrome with sync enabled, your browser may copy this
layout between your own devices under your own Google Account. This
synchronization is performed by your browser, not by us —
we never receive or have access to it. Your local chat
index (titles) is stored only on the current device and is not synced.
You can remove all of this data at any time by deleting folders in the panel, clearing the extension's storage, or uninstalling the extension.
2. Data that reaches us or our processors
2.1. License key (only if you activate Pro)
When you enter a Pro license key in the extension, the key is:
- stored locally on your device so the extension can unlock Pro features; and
- sent over HTTPS to our license server (a Cloudflare Worker) so it can be validated with our payment processor when you activate, re-validate, or deactivate it.
The license key is authentication information. We use it only to verify your Pro entitlement. If you never activate Pro, no license key is ever created or sent.
2.2. Purchase email (only if you buy Pro)
When you purchase Pro, checkout is handled by our payment processor, Polar.sh, which acts as the merchant of record. You provide your email address and payment details to Polar on the checkout page — not to the extension. The extension never sees, stores, or transmits your email address or payment details. As the seller, we can see your purchase record (such as your email and order details) in Polar's dashboard, and we use it to deliver your license key and to provide support and refunds.
2.3. Anonymous error signals ("beacons")
Claude is a third-party website that changes its layout over time. When the extension can no longer find an element it needs (for example, a menu button has moved), it sends a small, sanitized diagnostic signal to our server so we can ship a fix quickly. Each signal contains only:
-
an internal identifier of the element or step that failed (for example,
openMenuormenuItem:delete); - a short error/context code (for example, which action was in progress);
- the version of our selector configuration and of the extension; and
- a timestamp.
These signals contain no page URLs, no page content, no chat data, no chat titles, no personal identifiers, and no license key. They cannot be tied to you. Until our server endpoint is live, these signals are queued locally on your device and not sent anywhere.
2.4. What we never collect
We do not collect, transmit, sell, or use for advertising any of the following: the contents of your conversations, the URLs or content of pages you visit, your general browsing history, your Claude account credentials, your payment card details (those go only to our processor), or any analytics, tracking, advertising, or fingerprinting data. The extension contains no analytics or tracking SDKs of any kind.
3. Why we process this data (purposes)
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Local chat index, folders, pins, settings | Provide the extension's core features (organize, search, pin, clean up). Stays on device. |
| License key | Verify your Pro entitlement and unlock Pro features. |
| Purchase email and order record (via Polar) | Deliver your license key; provide support and process refunds. |
| Anonymous error beacons | Detect and fix breakages caused by changes to Claude's website; keep the extension reliable and secure. |
We process data only for these purposes and directly related operational purposes. We do not use any of it for advertising, and we do not sell it.
4. Service providers (processors)
We share data only with the providers strictly needed to run the service:
- Polar.sh — our payment processor and merchant of record. Handles Pro checkout, stores your purchase email and payment details, and issues license keys. See Polar's own privacy policy for how it processes payment data.
- Cloudflare — hosts our license-validation server (Cloudflare Worker), the distribution point for our selector configuration, and this privacy policy page. Our license server is a stateless proxy: it validates your key with Polar and does not maintain its own database of users.
We do not use any other third parties, and we do not share your data with anyone for their own purposes.
5. Data retention
- On-device data (chat index, folders, pins, settings) is kept until you delete it or uninstall the extension. The synced folder/pin layout persists in your browser's sync storage until you change or remove it.
- License key is kept on your device until you deactivate Pro or uninstall the extension. Our license server does not persist it after a validation request.
- Purchase records (including email) are retained by Polar and by us, as the seller, for as long as needed to provide the purchase, support, and refunds and to meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
- Anonymous error beacons are retained only as long as necessary to diagnose and fix the issue they report. Because they contain no personal data, they cannot be linked to an individual.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing.
- On-device data is under your direct control: manage it in the extension, or remove it by clearing the extension's storage or uninstalling.
- Purchase data (email, order record): contact us at sidewingapp@gmail.com to request access or deletion, or contact Polar.sh directly. We will honor valid requests as required by applicable law.
You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
7. Security
All network requests made by the extension use HTTPS. The extension requests
the minimum browser permissions it needs (storage, and
injection on claude.ai only) and requests no broad host access.
It loads and executes no remote code.
8. Children
The extension is not directed to children and is intended for users who hold a Claude account in accordance with Anthropic's terms. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the extension evolves. Material changes will be reflected by a new effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the extension after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
10. Limited Use disclosure (Chrome Web Store)
Our use and handling of data received through the extension adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Specifically:
- we use the data only to provide and improve the extension's single, stated purpose and directly related operational purposes;
- we do not sell this data, and we do not transfer it to third parties except as needed to provide the service (our payment processor and hosting provider named above), for legal reasons, or as part of a merger or acquisition with equivalent protection;
- we do not use or transfer this data for advertising, retargeting, or personalized advertisements; and
- we do not use this data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes, and we do not allow humans to read it except with your consent, to provide support, for security purposes, or as required by law.
