Rethread — Privacy Policy Local-First

Last updated: March 27, 2026

Overview

Rethread is an AI context memory extension that helps your AI assistants remember who you are across conversations. All data stays in your browser — we never collect, transmit, or store any user data on external servers.

Data Collection

Rethread itself does not collect:

• Conversation contents or chat history
• Browsing activity or page URLs
• Analytics, telemetry, or usage statistics
• Cookies or tracking identifiers

When you purchase a Pro plan, your email and payment details are collected by Creem (our payment processor) — not by Rethread. We only store the license key locally in your browser.

Data Storage

All extracted memory entries are stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB database. This data never leaves your device. No cloud sync, no remote backup, no server-side processing.

Host Permissions

Rethread requests access to the following five AI platform domains only:

• chatgpt.com (OpenAI ChatGPT)
• claude.ai (Anthropic Claude)
• gemini.google.com (Google Gemini)
• www.perplexity.ai (Perplexity AI)
• chat.deepseek.com (DeepSeek)

These permissions are used solely to read the DOM structure of conversation pages in order to extract contextual memories. Rethread does not modify page content beyond injecting a small recall button and context preview UI.

Authentication & License

Rethread does not require user registration or login to use the free tier. The Pro plan is activated via a license key issued after purchase. License key validation communicates with Creem's API to verify activation status — no other authentication mechanism is used. There are no user accounts, no passwords, and no OAuth flows.

Payments & Billing

Rethread uses Creem as our Merchant of Record for payment processing. When you purchase a Pro plan, Creem collects the information necessary to process your payment, including:

• Email address
• Payment method details (processed by Creem — we never see your card number)
• Billing country (for tax calculation)

This billing data is stored and managed by Creem under their Privacy Policy, not by Rethread. We only store your license key and activation status locally in your browser's storage.

Chat History Import

Rethread allows you to import chat history export files from ChatGPT and Claude. Imported data is parsed entirely within your browser and stored locally alongside other memories. No imported data is sent to any external server.

Third-Party Services

Rethread integrates with the following third-party service:

• Creem (creem.io) — payment processing and license key validation for Pro plan purchases. Creem acts as the Merchant of Record and handles all payment data. See Creem's Privacy Policy.

No other third-party services, analytics platforms, or tracking tools are used. Your memory data is never shared with any third party.

Data Deletion

You can delete all Rethread data at any time by:

• Using the export/import feature to manage your data
• Removing the extension — this permanently deletes all stored memories
• Clearing your browser's site data for the extension

Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, the changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Material changes will be communicated via the extension's update notes.
