Competitive Analysis: privacy

Last updated October 17, 2026.

Competitive Analysis is a skills-only plugin for ChatGPT and Codex. It is a set of written instructions the model follows. It runs no server of mine, holds no accounts, and has no way to send anything to me.

What I collect

Nothing. I never see your prompts, the companies you research, the reports it produces, or who you are.

Where your data does go

• To OpenAI, as with any ChatGPT conversation, under OpenAI's privacy policy.
• To the public websites the model fetches while researching, including the company's own site, the Internet Archive, and public job boards. Those sites see an ordinary page request from OpenAI's infrastructure.
• To any research plugin you have connected yourself, such as Exa, Firecrawl or Clay, under that vendor's terms. With Clay, that's the company's name and domain, never a person's. The plugin never asks you for a key and never stores one.
