Reasoning Choice Privacy Policy

Reasoning Choice is an independent Chrome extension that recommends an available ChatGPT model or reasoning level for your draft and can optionally apply it and send the draft.

ChatGPT drafts and model controls

The extension reads your current draft and the model controls on the ChatGPT page to classify the request, identify available options, and display a recommendation. When a short follow-up needs context, the extension may also read up to 4,000 characters each from the previous user message and its reply in the current ChatGPT conversation. It uses this context to classify the follow-up, such as detecting code or error messages, and does not save copies of those messages. This processing takes place in your browser. Reasoning Choice does not transmit draft text, model lists, or chat history to its developer or to Lemon Squeezy. When you send a draft yourself or use Auto mode, ChatGPT receives the original draft through its own interface. ChatGPT handles that message under its own privacy policy.

Data stored on your device

The extension uses Chrome local storage for your language, selected plan and modes, scanned model lists, allowed options, and trial start time. If you pin a model or reasoning level to a conversation, it stores the conversation identifier and your pinned options. It keeps up to 20 recent selections with the mode, task category, model or reasoning level when available, result, timestamp, and elapsed time. This history excludes message text and conversation addresses. You can clear it from Troubleshooting. If you activate a license, the extension also stores the license key, activation instance identifier, product reference, and last validation time. Removing the extension clears its local storage.

Checkout and license checks

Checkout opens on Lemon Squeezy. Lemon Squeezy collects checkout information directly under its own privacy policy. Reasoning Choice does not receive card details. The extension sends an installation ID to the Reasoning Choice billing service to manage trial eligibility and, for paid access, uses a license key to activate and an access token to check status. The billing service uses the Lemon Squeezy License API to validate, activate, or deactivate a license. Lemon Squeezy may retain checkout and activation records after you remove the extension.

Analytics and advertising

Reasoning Choice does not include advertising or sell user data. If you opt in, the extension sends technical diagnostics such as browser and extension versions, the ChatGPT surface, the action stage, its outcome, and elapsed time to the Reasoning Choice service. Diagnostic reports exclude drafts, chat text, conversation URLs, and license keys.
