Is SearchGPT safe?
SearchGPT sends search query text from supported search engines to OpenAI to generate sidebar answers.
When you open a supported search results page, SearchGPT reads the text from the page's search box and uses it as a prompt for a sidebar answer. By default it sends that prompt to ChatGPT, and it can also send it to OpenAI's completions API if the user selects that provider.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed SearchGPT 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.
