What Qarta connects to, what it is allowed to do in your browser, and why — written so you can check each line yourself. This page describes version 4.2. The legal terms are in the Privacy Policy; this page is the plain-language, technical companion.
1. Where Qarta connects
Qarta has no server of its own. The extension's code makes network requests to exactly one place:
- extensionpay.com — to check whether you have Qarta Pro, and to open the payment page. It sends an anonymous key that ExtensionPay assigned to this installation. It never sends your prompts or your chats. Payments are processed by ExtensionPay's provider, Stripe.
Everything else you might notice is not Qarta sending your data:
- Chrome Sync (Google) syncs your saved prompts between your own computers, the same way it syncs bookmarks. Qarta only asks Chrome to store them.
- The AI site you are on receives whatever you send it, as always. Qarta only puts the text you chose into the input box.
- Links you click (Terms, the contact form on repech.com) open in a normal tab, and only when you click them.
There is no analytics, tracking, advertising, or code loaded from anywhere else. All code ships inside the extension. When you uninstall Qarta, Chrome (not the extension) opens a short optional survey page on repech.com; its address carries only the extension version and your language.
2. Permissions, and why
storage— keeps your prompts, plan status and settings.unlimitedStorage— the chat library (copies of chats you saved) lives in your own browser and can grow large.contextMenus— the right-click “Save to Qarta” on selected text.sidePanel— opens Qarta in Chrome's side panel.scripting— registers Qarta on Grok or Copilot (personal) only after you allow that site.- Sites: chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com, claude.ai, gemini.google.com, www.perplexity.ai. Qarta runs only on these to insert prompts into the input box.
- Optional sites — grok.com, copilot.com, copilot.microsoft.com: Chrome asks you first, per site. Until you allow one, Qarta does nothing there.
Qarta does not ask for the broad “tabs” permission and does not run on any other website.
3. What it reads on those pages
- The chat input box, to insert a prompt (and to offer to save a message you just sent).
- The on-screen conversation — only if you turned auto-save on. Qarta asks once when you first set it up; until you choose, nothing is saved. The copies stay in your own browser, on your own computer.
4. Check it yourself
- In Chrome, open
chrome://extensions→ Qarta → “Details” to see the permissions and per-site access. - Open the extension's service worker in DevTools and watch the Network tab: you will see requests to extensionpay.com and nothing else.
