Privacy Policy

Browse with Claude is built to keep your data on the path you already trust: your browser → your authenticated claude.ai session → Claude. No middleman. No telemetry. No analytics. This page describes what that means in detail.

What the extension reads

• Page content, only when you open the palette (or explicitly reference a tab). Used to give Claude context for your question.
• Text you select: only the text you highlight, only when you click the ✦ dot or invoke the palette with a selection.
• Form-field metadata: labels, types, current values, only when you ask Claude to "Fill page".
• Viewport screenshot (rare): only when DOM-based extraction yields little usable text (canvas apps, JS-rendered pages). Captures the visible viewport only, never the full page or any other tab.

Where your data goes

Everything above is sent directly from your browser to your authenticated claude.ai session. We don't operate any servers. We don't proxy your traffic. We don't see your prompts. The extension uses the same session cookie you already use to log into claude.ai.

What we store locally

• Conversation registry in browser.storage.session, temporary, cleared automatically when your browser closes. Used to track in-flight conversations so they can be cleaned up.
• (Coming in v1.1) Personal details you explicitly choose to remember, stored locally in browser.storage.local, fully reviewable in the popup, never synced across devices, never shared.

What we don't do

• No analytics. No event tracking. No fingerprinting.
• No third-party servers. No CDNs that see your data.
• No selling, sharing, or aggregating of any kind.
• No background scraping. The extension only reads pages when you actively open the palette.

Permissions justification

Chrome requires us to declare which permissions the extension needs. Each one earns its keep:

• activeTab, tabs: read the page you're on, and reference other tabs you choose to add.
• scripting: inject the command palette.
• storage: local memory + conversation lifecycle bookkeeping.
• clipboardRead: capture selections in canvas apps (Google Docs, Sheets, Figma) where the DOM doesn't expose them.
• alarms: periodic cleanup of stale conversation references.
• <all_urls>: the palette must work on any page you visit.

Your rights

You can clear all locally-stored data at any time by removing the extension. Conversations created by Browse with Claude are visible in your claude.ai history and can be deleted there. The extension also auto-cleans temporary conversations after they're closed.

Compliance

Browse with Claude does not collect personal data on its own behalf. Your interactions with Claude are subject to Anthropic's Privacy Policy and Consumer Terms of Service.
