Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 12, 2025

Overview

ElementAgent is a Chrome extension that captures webpage elements and sends them to a user-configured local AI coding agent. This privacy policy explains how we handle your data.

Data Collection

ElementAgent does NOT collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers.

Data Stored Locally

The following data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage:

• User Preferences: Hotkey settings, agent port configuration, context templates, and other settings
• Captured Elements: HTML content, CSS selectors, attributes, and screenshots of elements you choose to capture (up to 50 items)
• System Prompts: Custom AI prompts you create

This data never leaves your device except when explicitly sent to your configured local AI agent.

Data Sent to Local AI Agent

When you capture an element and send it to your AI agent, the following data is transmitted to your locally running AI server (default: localhost:6567):

• Element HTML and attributes
• Screenshots of the element and page
• Page URL and title
• Your prompt/question

This data is sent only to a server running on YOUR machine, configured by YOU. No data is sent to any external servers, third parties, or the extension developer.

Data NOT Collected

ElementAgent does NOT collect:

• Personal information (name, email, etc.)
• Browsing history
• Cookies or authentication tokens
• Financial information
• Location data
• Any data from pages you don't explicitly capture

Third-Party Services

ElementAgent does NOT use any third-party analytics, tracking, or data collection services.

Data Security

• All data is stored locally using Chrome's secure storage APIs
• No data is transmitted over the internet
• Communication with your local AI agent uses your local network only

Data Retention

• Captured elements are stored until you delete them (max 50 items, oldest auto-removed)
• Settings persist until you clear them or uninstall the extension
• Uninstalling the extension removes all stored data

Children's Privacy

ElementAgent does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years of age.
