Custodian for the assistants in your browser
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot run in a tab. The extension takes what you write and what the assistant answers, only while capture is on. Nothing else.
Set it up in three steps
For Chrome, Edge and Brave on a computer. If your organisation manages your browser, your IT team installs Custodian for you and you can skip to step 3.
-
Download the extension
Install the browser extension
- Unzip the file into a folder you keep.
- Open
chrome://extensionsoredge://extensions, switch on Developer mode and choose Load unpacked. - Pin Custodian to the toolbar: click the puzzle-piece icon, then the pin next to Custodian.
-
Sign in
Click the Custodian icon and sign in with your Custodian account. You need one first: the free trial or your organisation's setup page creates it.
The password is used once to sign in. The extension never stores it.
-
Switch capture on
Switch on Capture my AI chats. That switch confirms your consent, and switching it off withdraws it.
Chats wait in your browser and go once a day, or when you press Send now. After sending, the browser keeps no readable text.
What leaves your browser
Only the conversation, on four sites, and only while capture is on.
Sent
- What you write to the assistant and what it answers, while capture is on.
- The time, the name of the assistant, and the conversation and message identifiers.
- The site and the path of the page; the rest of the address is cut off.
Never sent
- Other sites, other tabs and your browsing history: the extension has no permission to read them.
- Anything while capture is paused, or in a chat you excluded.
- Your name or email address. Custodian never asks for them.
Before it is sent
- Review first lists the chats that wait: remove one, or remove it and never capture that chat again.
- The chats wait only in this browser until they are sent.
- On arrival, names, emails, phone numbers and similar details are replaced before storage.
