Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 23, 2026

Chrome Relay is local software. The Chrome extension talks to the chrome-relay native host on your own computer. Chrome Relay does not operate a cloud service, collect analytics, run ads, sell data, or send browsing data to a Chrome Relay server.

What Chrome Relay does

Chrome Relay connects Chrome to coding agents you configure locally. It lets that local agent list tabs, navigate, read visible page structure, click elements, fill inputs, send keyboard events, and take screenshots when you ask the agent to use those tools.

Data the extension can access

Because Chrome Relay is a browser-control extension, it can access data from tabs you target, including:

Open tab titles and URLs.
Visible page text and interactive element metadata.
Screenshots of visible tabs.
Form fields, buttons, and page controls the local agent operates.

The extension uses this access only to perform local browser-control actions requested through the local Chrome Relay bridge.

What Chrome Relay stores

Chrome Relay stores the last three tool execution summaries in Chrome extension local storage so the popup can show recent activity. These summaries include the tool name, time, success or error state, and a short description. Form fill values are not stored; only the value length is summarized.

What Chrome Relay sends

Chrome Relay does not send browsing data to a Chrome Relay cloud service. Tool calls and results move between the Chrome Relay extension, the locally installed native messaging host, and the local CLI or coding agent configured by the user.

If you connect Chrome Relay to a third-party local agent, that agent's own privacy practices apply to what it does with the data you ask it to read.

Permissions

nativeMessaging: connects the extension to the local chrome-relay native host.
scripting: runs bundled page helpers for reading page structure, clicking, filling, and keyboard actions. The extension does not fetch or execute remote code.
tabs: lists tabs, identifies tab IDs, activates selected tabs, navigates, and closes tabs at the user's request.
storage: stores the last three local tool execution summaries for the popup.
<all_urls>: allows the user to operate any website they explicitly target, including local development servers and internal tools.

Remote code

Chrome Relay does not load or execute remotely hosted extension code. Browser actions are implemented by code included in the extension package.

Children

Chrome Relay is a developer tool and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will be updated.
