Privacy Policy

Conduit Browser Extension · Effective March 19, 2026

⚡ Core Principle: Your data never leaves your computer. Conduit processes, structures, and stores everything strictly on localhost.

What Conduit Does

Conduit is a developer browser extension that captures structured data from websites you browse and makes it accessible through a local server running on your machine. It provides a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) and REST interface for AI coding assistants, developer agents, and automation workflows.

Data We Collect

We collect zero user data. Conduit does not transmit any information to external servers, cloud services, analytics providers, or third parties. All data processing happens entirely within your browser runtime and on your local machine.

Specifically, Conduit does not:

Send browsing data to any external server
Upload captured content to the cloud
Use analytics or tracking SDKs
Share data with third parties or advertisers
Store any data outside your local machine
Collect personal information for any purpose

Data Conduit Processes Locally

On your local machine only, Conduit processes the following types of data to provide its core developer features:

Web history: URLs of pages you visit on supported platforms, used for platform detection and data organization.
User activity & Network calls: API responses intercepted from supported platforms (e.g. order pages, developer dashboards) to structure them into typed JSON for local AI agents.
Website content: Page text and DOM elements when you or your local AI agent invokes browser automation, inspection, or page reading tools.

All of this data is stored in your browser's local storage and served exclusively to 127.0.0.1. It is never transmitted externally.

Local Server (MCP + REST)

Conduit communicates with local developer tools via a local MCP + REST server on localhost:7777 / localhost:7779 (configurable). This server is accessible only from your own machine and serves captured context strictly to authorized local applications you explicitly configure.

Security & Manifest V3 Permissions

Conduit is built following strict Manifest V3 security guidelines. We request the absolute minimum permissions at installation:

activeTab — to query current page context when invoked.
storage — to persist structured recipes and settings locally.
scripting — to execute structured DOM extraction recipes on demand.

Data Retention

All captured data is stored in your browser's local storage. You can clear all data at any time through the Conduit dashboard. Uninstalling the extension permanently removes all stored data.
