Privacy, in plain language.

The Free tier of Reddit Comment Exporter does not send your data anywhere. Extraction happens in your browser, and your CSV/JSON files are written from the browser to your local disk.

What the extension can access

• reddit.com and old.reddit.com pages you have open. Required to read the thread you’re extracting.
• Local browser storage. Used for your settings, recent extractions (Plus), and entitlement state.
• Your clipboard, when you click Copy.
• Your Downloads folder, when you click CSV/JSON.

What it does not access

• Other tabs, other sites, browsing history, bookmarks, cookies for sites that aren’t Reddit.
• Your Reddit credentials. The extension reads page content; it never authenticates as you.

Paid features

Plus and Pro features call our API:

• Google Docs export (Plus) — sends the thread you explicitly choose to export to our endpoint, which formats and creates a Doc in your Drive. The thread content is not stored after the Doc is created.
• Hooks (Pro) — sends the thread you explicitly choose to analyze to our endpoint, which generates positioning suggestions. The thread content is not stored after the response is returned.
• AI angles & cross-thread patterns (Pro) — sends the thread (or selected saved threads) to our endpoint for AI processing. Inputs and outputs are not retained after the response is returned.

Sign-in (Google OAuth) is only requested if you upgrade. We receive your email and Google account id; nothing else.

Cancellation and deletion

You can cancel any paid tier from inside the extension. To request deletion of any account data (email + entitlement record), email hello@redditcommentexporter.com. We respond within 7 days.

Children

The extension is not directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
