Question 1

Does carbon-llm read my chat messages?

Accepted Answer

No. The extension uses token usage metadata from provider responses (and optional rough estimates). Your prompt text is not sent to carbon-llm.com for this feature.

Question 2

What is the difference between My footprint and the API dashboard?

Accepted Answer

My footprint is this browser dashboard for individuals. The API dashboard is for signed-in customers integrating the REST API, API keys, and tenant reporting.

Question 3

How accurate is the CO₂e figure?

Accepted Answer

Figures are indicative, using the same methodology as the public /api/v1/estimate endpoint. They are not a physical meter reading — see the methodology page for limits.
