Privacy Policy

The short version: this extension runs entirely inside your browser, has no server of its own, and never receives a copy of your data.

Last updated: 4 October 2026 · Applies to the Otter Exporter browser extension and this website.

The one-paragraph version

We do not have a server. Otter Exporter is a browser extension that reads your own Otter.ai conversations through your own signed-in session and writes them to a ZIP file on your own disk. Nothing is uploaded, transmitted, logged or sold by us — because there is nowhere for it to go.

We cannot see your transcripts, your meeting titles, your colleagues' names, or even whether you successfully used the extension. That is not a promise about our intentions; it is a description of the architecture.

What the extension does

Reads the list of conversations that are already visible to your logged-in Otter session, and nothing outside it.
Fetches the transcript, summary and action items for conversations you choose to export.
Assembles those into Markdown, CSV and JSON files and hands them to your browser's own download system.
Stores two things locally in your browser: a per-month export counter (for the free-tier limit) and, if you enter one, a licence key.

What the extension does not do

It does not edit, rename, delete, share or re-upload any conversation in your account. It is strictly read-only against Otter.
It does not send your data to us or to any third party. There is no backend, no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no telemetry.
It does not read your browsing history, your bookmarks, your passwords, your cookies, or any site other than otter.ai.
It does not read your email or your filesystem.
It does not inject ads or modify any page it runs on.

Permissions, and exactly why each one exists

Every permission in the extension's manifest is listed below with its single purpose. If a permission does not appear here, the extension does not request it.

Permission	Why it is needed
`storage`	Keeps your monthly free-export counter and an optional licence key on your own machine. Nothing is synced to us.
`downloads`	Saves the ZIP file the extension builds to your Downloads folder.
`scripting`	Runs the reader on the Otter page only after you click the extension, so nothing runs in the background uninvited.
`activeTab`	Grants access to the tab you are looking at when you click the extension, without a standing permission over all tabs.
`https://otter.ai/*`	The only site the extension can touch, because Otter.ai is the only site whose data it exports.

Notably not requested: tabs, cookies, history, webRequest, <all_urls>, or any access to sites other than Otter.ai.

Network activity

The extension makes network requests in exactly one direction: to otter.ai, using the session cookie your browser already holds because you are signed in. Those requests are indistinguishable in destination from you clicking through Otter yourself.

When you buy a licence, the payment is processed by a third-party merchant of record (for example Creem or Dodo Payments). They receive your email and payment details directly; we receive only a machine-generated licence key and the fact that a purchase was made. We never see your card number. Their own privacy policies govern that transaction.

If you join the early-access list on this website, we store the email address you typed, and nothing else. You can ask us to delete it at any time and we will, within a few days.

Your control over your data

Uninstalling removes everything. Deleting the extension deletes its local storage — the counter and any licence key — along with it.
Exported files are yours. They live in your Downloads folder and are never copied anywhere by us.
Waitlist removal. Email the address at the bottom of this page and we will delete your address from the list.
Auditability. The extension is intentionally built with no build step and no minification, so what you install can be read as the source it was written in.

Children, changes, and contact

This tool is intended for working professionals and is not directed at anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If this policy changes in a way that affects what data is collected, we will update the date at the top and, if you are on the early-access list, tell you by email before the change takes effect.
