Is Search GPT safe?

Clean risk

Search GPT sends search result queries to OpenAI to generate its sidebar answer.

When you view supported search result pages, Search GPT reads the query from the search box and uses it as the prompt for its sidebar answer. By default it sends that prompt to ChatGPT with your ChatGPT session, and it can also send it to OpenAI's completions API if you configure the GPT-3 provider with an API key.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Search GPT 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.
