FAQ

Before you install.

Does GingerCat upload my chats?

Local document and archive exports are generated in your browser. Your chat content is not uploaded to GingerCat servers for local export.

Why do cloud exports require sign-in?

Google Docs and Notion need your authorization because the extension creates content in your selected account. Local exports continue to work without a GingerCat account.
