Extension privacy
Eko Files brings a selected ChatGPT Page and its available files, or a shared conversation's available attachments, into your private Eko draft.
Last updated 21 October 2026
When it runs
File retrieval starts when you import or resume a conversation on Eko. The extension receives that share link and the list of attachments to recover. It reads the shared conversation to identify those attachments.
For Pages, retrieval starts when you paste a Page link into Eko's import field or choose Import. The extension reads that Page and the files referenced in it. It does not explore other Pages, follow sub-pages, search your other conversations, record your browsing history, or send messages in ChatGPT.
What it handles
The extension handles the selected source link, the conversation content needed to locate attachments, or the selected Page's title, text and file references. It also handles attachment metadata and the requested file contents, names, types, sizes and checksums. Your text and documents may themselves contain personal information.
It uses your existing ChatGPT session locally in the browser to make authenticated download requests. It may briefly open a ChatGPT tab in the background and open the requested file's preview there. Session credentials and temporary download URLs used by the extension are not sent to Eko.
What reaches Eko
The source link, title, requested files, their names, sizes, source identifiers, checksums and transfer status are sent to Eko over an encrypted connection. Eko stores the files in your account to attach them to the piece you are preparing.
A Page's text is transferred to Eko's editor in your browser, with file references replaced by links to the received originals. The draft is kept in this browser for your signed-in Eko account. The text is sent to Eko's servers when you save or publish the piece. A Page import starts private and does not replace your current draft until its text and all supported files have been received.
Imported files remain private until you choose to include them in a public piece. Importing a Page or its files does not publish anything automatically.
The extension keeps temporary transfer data in memory and clears its session when the transfer closes or expires. Eko keeps the imported files and transfer records on its servers so your draft can use them and retry an interrupted import.
Why these permissions
Access to ChatGPT lets the extension identify and download the requested attachments and read the selected Page using your signed-in account. Access to file-hosting domains lets it download files served from ChatGPT's storage. It accepts import requests from Eko and restricts each transfer to the supplied Page or shared conversation and its identified files.
Use and sharing
Eko Files complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
This information is used to retrieve, verify, store and display your imported work and files. Eko's hosting and storage providers process the transferred information to deliver that service. The extension has no advertising, tracking or analytics code. Data handled by the extension is not sold, used for advertising, or used to determine creditworthiness.
Your control
You can leave files out of a draft and decide whether a piece stays private or becomes public. Leaving a file out does not itself erase an already stored copy. Removing the extension stops future transfers; it does not delete files already imported into Eko.
To request deletion of imported files or transfer records, contact hello@ekogalerie.com. You can also delete your Eko account from your profile. The Eko privacy policy describes account data, storage, service providers and your rights.
