Privacy Policy — Browser API Client

Last updated: 2026-09-24

Data Collection

Browser API Client does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data.

Permissions Explained

storage: Used to save your request history, environments, collections, and preferences locally on your device, and a small counter so that the extension asks for a store review at most once, and only after real use: how many requests got a response, on how many days, and whether you have answered the request. The counter holds nothing about your requests and never leaves your device.
host_permissions (<all_urls>): Required to send HTTP requests to any API endpoint. The extension acts as an HTTP client — it must be able to reach any URL you choose to test. Requests are only sent when you explicitly click "Send".

How API Requests Work

When you send an API request, it is executed directly from your browser's background service worker. The request goes from your browser to the target URL you specified — no proxy, no intermediary server. Request and response data stays in your browser.

What the extension does NOT do

Does not collect analytics or usage data (the review counter above stays on your device)
Does not use cookies or tracking pixels
Does not proxy requests through any server
Does not access your browsing history
Does not read or modify page content

Data Storage

Request history, environments, and collections are stored locally on your device using the browser's storage API. You can export and delete this data at any time from the extension's settings page. No data is stored on external servers.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy changes, the updated policy will be posted here and the "last updated" date will be revised.
