ChatGPT Ads Pixel Helper — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 September 2026

The Pixel Helper is a free, unofficial developer tool for inspecting the ChatGPT Ads measurement pixel. It runs entirely on your own machine, on the pages you choose to inspect.

In short. This extension collects, transmits, and sells no data. Everything it does happens locally in your browser. There is no analytics, no tracking, no account, and no remote code.

What the extension does

ChatGPT Ads Pixel Helper detects and validates the OpenAI ChatGPT Ads Measurement Pixel (the window.oaiq tag) on web pages you visit, so you can confirm it is installed correctly and debug your conversion tracking — similar to how the Meta Pixel Helper works for Facebook.

What data it accesses, and where that data goes

  • It reads pixel activity on the current page — the pixel ID, and the events it fires (for example page_viewed, order_created) with their parameters — purely to display and validate them for you.
  • This information is held only in chrome.storage.session, scoped to the current tab, and is automatically cleared when the tab or browser session ends.
  • Nothing is ever sent to us, to any server, or to any third party. All processing is on your device.

Permissions, and why they are needed

  • webRequest (scoped to bzr.openai.com and bzrcdn.openai.com): to observe the pixel’s SDK load and event beacons to those OpenAI domains, for timing, status, and ad-blocker detection. Limited to only those two hosts.
  • storage: to hold the captured events for the current tab so the popup and DevTools panel can show them. Session-scoped and local.
  • webNavigation: to reset the captured state when you navigate to a new page.
  • Content scripts on all sites: the pixel can be installed on any advertiser’s website, so detection must be able to run wherever you are testing. No page data is read for any purpose other than local pixel inspection, and none of it leaves your browser.

Third parties

None. The extension shares no data with anyone. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to OpenAI in any way.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new “last updated” date.
