Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 2024

Overview

Kapture Browser Automation ("the Extension") is designed to enable local browser automation through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This privacy policy explains how the Extension handles user data.

Data Collection and Usage

What We Access

The Extension may access:

Current tab URL and title
Page content (HTML/DOM) when requested
Browser console logs when requested
Screenshots of the current tab when requested
Form field values when automating interactions

            What We DON'T Do
            We do NOT collect or store any personal information
We do NOT send any data to external servers
We do NOT track your browsing history
We do NOT use analytics or tracking services
We do NOT sell or share any data

        

Local Operation Only

All Extension operations are strictly local:

Communication occurs only with localhost (127.0.0.1) on port 61822
Data is transmitted only to the MCP server running on your local machine
No internet connection is required for Extension operation
No data leaves your computer

Data Transmission

When you use the Extension:

Commands are received from the local MCP server via WebSocket
The Extension executes the requested action on the current web page
Results are sent back to the local MCP server
All communication uses localhost networking only

Data Storage

The Extension stores:

Your connection status (connected/disconnected)
A temporary session Tab ID for the current browser tab
Command history for the current session (cleared on disconnect)

No persistent data is stored between browser sessions.

Permissions

The Extension requires certain Chrome permissions:

tabs: To access tab information and execute scripts
debugger: To capture screenshots
<all_urls>: To interact with any website you choose to automate

These permissions are used solely for providing automation functionality and are never used for tracking or data collection.

Security

All communication uses WebSocket protocol over localhost
No authentication tokens or passwords are stored
Each tab receives a unique session ID that expires on disconnect

User Control

You have complete control:

Connect/disconnect at any time via the DevTools panel
Close the DevTools panel to stop all Extension activity
Disable or uninstall the Extension at any time via Chrome settings

Children's Privacy

This Extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date above.
