Is ChatGPT Assistant Plus safe?
ChatGPT Assistant Plus sends a persistent UUID to Google Analytics hourly and silently opens chatgpt.com tabs to refresh session tokens.
On installation and every 60 minutes, the extension transmits a stored client UUID and session identifier to Google Analytics without disclosing this to the user. When the ChatGPT session token expires, the extension creates a background tab to chatgpt.com, waits 10 seconds, then closes it automatically — allowing the site to renew the session cookie without visible user interaction.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed ChatGPT Assistant Plus contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
