Narrow permissions by design.
GingerCat is designed to run on supported AI chat pages instead of asking for broad access to every site you visit.
Used permissions
activeTab
scripting
storage
identity and identity.email for optional account and Google Docs workflows
cookies for the optional Notion session export workflow
Host access limited to supported chat, image, Google, Notion and GingerCat auth hosts
Not used
No webRequest
No debugger
No <all_urls>
No broad all-sites access
Google access
Google sign-in and Google Docs export are used only when you choose those account or cloud destination features.
Notion access
Notion export can use your currently signed-in Notion browser session so you can choose an existing workspace or page. GingerCat uses this only after you choose Notion export.
Limited Use
Information received from Google APIs is used according to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Local exports
Local files are generated in your browser and do not require a GingerCat account.
