Browser IntegratedAI DevTools: Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-08

Browser IntegratedAI DevTools ("the extension") adds an AI panel to Chrome DevTools. This policy explains what data the extension handles and where it goes. In short: the developer does not collect, receive or sell any of your data. Depending on the connection you choose in Options, the extension talks either directly to the AI provider you choose (such as Anthropic, OpenAI or Google Gemini; the full list is below) with your own API key, or to Ollama running on your own computer ("direct mode"), or to an agent server that runs on your own computer, which talks to the AI provider you choose (Claude through Claude Code, or ChatGPT through OpenAI's Codex CLI, each signed in with your own account).

What the extension reads

You choose how much of the page the AI may see, in the Page access menu next to the message box:

Whole page (the default): what's described below, when the AI needs it.
Only an area: you mark part of the page. The extension works out on your computer what lies inside it, and only that is read, changed or photographed (screenshots are cropped to it, with everything else greyed out). The page's address and title, the console, the network log and site memory are not used. After going to another page, nothing is read until you confirm the area there. A script you approve may still act on the whole page, so in this mode its result is not sent to the AI.
Just answer: nothing from the page is sent; only your question.

In every mode, values of hidden fields, password and card-number fields, script contents and token-like values are removed from any HTML that is sent.

Only when you use the AI panel, and only from the tab you are inspecting:

Page content you choose to share. For example, the element selected in the Elements panel (its HTML excerpt, CSS selector and computed styles), page URL and title, and more details the AI asks for while answering (matching CSS rules, element lists, an outline of what's on screen, the text of the page or of part of it including the values in its form fields, page resources), also from frames embedded in the page. Password fields are never read out: the AI only learns whether one is filled in. Whatever the page shows can be part of this: if you ask the AI to read or work on a page with messages, email or personal details, that text is sent to the AI provider you chose, as part of answering you.
Console messages and errors captured on the page (when you enable the Console chip, ask about errors, or the AI inspects the console).
Network request summaries from DevTools (method, URL, status, size, timing), when you enable the Network chip or the AI inspects the network. Cookies, authorization headers, API keys and token-like URL parameters are removed before anything is sent. Response bodies are never sent.
Screenshots of an element or of the visible page, when the AI needs to see how something looks.
The visible text of the page, when you ask it to translate the page and click Translate, in batches to the AI provider you chose. The translation is shown in place of the text and is not stored.

Where it goes

Direct mode: straight from the extension to the provider you picked, authenticated with your own API key, under that provider's terms:

Anthropic, api.anthropic.com (privacy policy)
OpenAI, api.openai.com (privacy policy)
Google Gemini, generativelanguage.googleapis.com (privacy policy)
OpenRouter, openrouter.ai, which forwards to the model you choose (privacy policy)
From China-based AI companies (their policies are on their websites, and say where your data is processed): DeepSeek, api.deepseek.com (deepseek.com); Qwen through Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com or the Model Studio address you enter (alibabacloud.com); Kimi by Moonshot AI, api.moonshot.ai (or api.moonshot.cn) (kimi.ai); GLM by Z.ai, api.z.ai (or open.bigmodel.cn) (z.ai); MiniMax, api.minimax.io (or api.minimaxi.com) (minimax.io)
Custom: a service whose address you enter yourself (for example your own server, or another AI provider), with the key you enter, under that service's terms
Ollama, which runs models on your own computer (by default localhost:11434, or the address you enter in Options). No key is used and nothing leaves your computer, unless you enter the address of another machine.

Local server mode:

To the agent server on your computer (127.0.0.1), which you install and start yourself. The connection is local and requires a pairing token. Websites cannot connect to it.
From there, to the AI provider you selected, using your own account:

Claude Code CLI: Anthropic, under your Claude account (Anthropic privacy policy).
Anthropic API: Anthropic, under your API key.
Other providers, if you add them, under their own terms.

Web search, in both modes (optional, on by default, can be turned off in Options): the AI may search the web or fetch pages through the provider's web tools to look up documentation.

Nothing is sent to the developer of this extension or to any other third party.

What is stored, and where

All storage is local to your computer:

In Chrome (extension storage): your settings, your API keys (direct mode), the pairing token (local server mode), saved CSS patches and saved tasks (the page steps you chose to save, including what was typed, but never what was typed into a password field). In direct mode also your conversations (IndexedDB) and site memory, including private per-conversation memory. Removed when you uninstall the extension, or via Options → Advanced settings → Your data → Delete extension data. Each API key is only ever sent to its own provider. Options → Advanced settings → Your data → Export saves this data (without API keys or the pairing token) to a file on your computer, only when you click it.
Local server mode, on your computer, in the agent server's folder (~/.integratedai): conversations, site memory notes and page types, logs of failed calls, and automatic backups made before data-format updates. You can view, back up or delete this folder at any time; individual memory notes can be edited or deleted in the panel's Memory tab.

Starting the local server (optional)

Only in local server mode, and only if you set it up and allow it: the panel's Server button asks a small helper program on your computer (installed with npm run services:install) to start or stop the agent server. The extension sends it nothing but "status", "start" or "stop"; no page content or personal data.

What the extension does on pages

When you click its toolbar button, shows the AI card on that page (and on the tab's next pages until you close it). The card reads and sends the same page data as the DevTools panel (above), only when you use it.

Captures console messages on pages you visit (kept in the page's memory only, never sent anywhere unless you use the AI panel on that tab).
Applies CSS patches you saved, and shows on/off buttons for patches you created with a toggle.
Makes changes on a page (CSS, element edits, clicks/typing, scripts) only after you approve them, unless you choose an agent mode for a conversation:

Ask each step: the AI clicks, types and opens pages in that tab, asking you before each step.
Auto: it does so without asking, except before risky steps (submitting forms, sending, paying, deleting, password fields, going to another site).
Full auto: it does so without asking. You switch this on per conversation, after a warning.

Style changes, element edits and scripts still wait for your approval in every mode. Agent modes don't change what data is read or where it goes (above); a "working… Stop" badge on the page lets you stop the AI at any time.

Runs a saved task's steps when you click Run in the Tasks tab, without the AI and without sending anything anywhere. It asks you before risky steps, as in Auto mode, and the same Stop badge stops it.

Children

The extension is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

Changes to this policy are published at the same address and in the extension's repository.
