AI Citation Tracker — Privacy Policy

Effective September 28, 2026

At a glance

Growzify AI Citation Tracker is a free Chrome extension, built by Growzify Digital, that shows marketers whether their domains get cited in Google AI Overviews and in answers from Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Copilot. This policy explains exactly what the extension reads, what it stores, and what it never does — in plain terms, matching the code you can inspect in the extension’s own source.

When you view a Google results page or an answer page on one of the six supported sites (or run a Check, described below), the extension’s content script reads the source links on that page and records:

• The cited domain and full URL
• The platform (Google AI Overview or Perplexity)
• Your search query or question text
• The citation’s position in the list, and a timestamp

It also stores the list of domains you choose to add under “My Domains”, so it can flag when one of them is cited. It also keeps the results of your most recent Check. Nothing is read unless the page is one of the six supported sites.

When you click Run Check, the extension opens one minimized browser window and loads Google Search, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Copilot. On the chat sites it types your prompt into the normal message box and presses send, the same as if you had typed it yourself, using whatever session you already have in your browser. Once each answer has loaded, it reads the source links on the page, compares them with your tracked domains, and closes the window.

This means your prompt is submitted to those services and is handled under each service’s own terms and privacy policy. Claude and Copilot require you to be signed in to their sites. The extension never asks for, sees or stores your passwords, and it reports “not signed in” instead of trying to get past a login screen. Growzify does not receive your prompt or the results.

The extension does not collect your name, email, IP address, location, passwords, payment details, or any browsing history outside the six supported sites. It does not log keystrokes, clicks, or mouse movement, and it does not require an account.

Everything is written to chrome.storage.local — a storage area private to your own browser profile, on your own device. Nothing is transmitted to Growzify. The only data that leaves your browser is a prompt you choose to check, which is submitted to the supported sites as described above. The citation log is capped at the most recent 3,000 entries; older entries are trimmed automatically.

We do not sell, rent, or transfer your data to any third party. The extension contains no analytics library, no advertising SDK, and no remote tracking of any kind — every line of code that runs ships inside the extension package itself.

Open the extension popup at any time to export your citation log as a CSV (saved directly to your device, never uploaded anywhere) or to clear all logged data with one click. Uninstalling the extension deletes everything it stored.

This extension is a professional tool for marketers and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect data from anyone, regardless of age.

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this same address with a revised effective date above.
