Privacy Policy
BabyClaw Browser Relay Chrome Extension
Speech Intelligence, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") operates the BabyClaw Browser Relay extension (the "Extension"). This Privacy Policy describes what information the Extension accesses, how it is used, and your choices regarding that information.
1. Overview
The Extension acts as a local relay between your Chrome browser and the BabyClaw desktop application running on your own computer. It enables BabyClaw's AI assistant to view and interact with browser tabs at your direction. All communication occurs exclusively over localhost (127.0.0.1). The Extension does not transmit any data to external servers.
2. Information We Access
When the local BabyClaw assistant interacts with a browser tab, the following categories of data may be accessed through the local connection:
| Data Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Page content (HTML, text) | Allow the assistant to read and understand web pages |
| DOM structure | Allow the assistant to locate and interact with page elements |
| Screenshots of attached tabs | Provide visual context to the assistant |
| Tab metadata (URLs, titles) | Identify and manage browser tabs |
| Navigation events | Detect page loads and cross-origin navigations in attached tabs |
All of this data remains on your computer. It is transmitted only between the Extension and the locally running BabyClaw application over 127.0.0.1. It is never sent to Speech Intelligence or any third party by the Extension.
3. Information We Collect
The Extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. Specifically:
- We do not collect names, email addresses, or account identifiers.
- We do not collect browsing history or search queries.
- We do not collect IP addresses or geolocation data.
- We do not use cookies, pixels, or any tracking technologies.
- We do not collect analytics or telemetry of any kind.
4. How We Use Information
The data accessed by the Extension is used solely to fulfill user-initiated requests through the locally running BabyClaw assistant. We do not use this data for any other purpose, including advertising, profiling, or analytics.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share any user data with third parties. Because the Extension communicates only over localhost, no data leaves your machine through the Extension.
6. Data Storage and Retention
The Extension stores only the following in Chrome's local and session storage:
- Connection settings — relay port number and authentication token for the local BabyClaw service.
- Session state — attached tab identifiers, used to restore debugger sessions after Chrome restarts the service worker.
No browsing data, page content, or personal information is persisted by the Extension. Stored connection settings can be cleared at any time through the Extension's options page or by uninstalling the Extension.
7. Permissions
The Extension requests the following Chrome permissions, each used exclusively for local relay functionality:
| Permission | Why It Is Needed |
|---|---|
| debugger | Observe and control tab content via Chrome DevTools Protocol on behalf of the local assistant |
| tabs | Read tab URLs/titles and manage tab lifecycle |
| tabGroups | Organize assistant-created tabs into a collapsed group |
| activeTab | Access the currently focused tab on user action |
| storage | Persist connection settings and session state |
| alarms | Keep the service worker alive and monitor connection health |
| webNavigation | Detect page navigation events in attached tabs |
| host_permissions (127.0.0.1, localhost) | Communicate with the locally running BabyClaw application |
8. Security
The Extension communicates exclusively with services running on 127.0.0.1 (localhost). Connections to the local relay server are authenticated using a token that is unique to each BabyClaw installation. The Extension does not open connections to any external hosts.
9. Children's Privacy
The Extension is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
10. Your Choices
- Revoke access: Press Cmd+Shift+X (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+X (Windows/Linux) to immediately disconnect all tabs and stop the relay.
- Uninstall: Removing the Extension deletes all stored settings and terminates all connections.
- Disable: Disabling the Extension in chrome://extensions suspends all functionality.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
