We are not responsible for third-party privacy practices.

5.2 Error Tracking Service​

Sentry.io: https://sentry.io/privacy/

Error data is subject to Sentry's privacy policy. We configure Sentry to minimize data collection and exclude sensitive information.

6. Cookies and Tracking​

The Extension requests the cookies permission only to read and then remove two short-lived, first-party cookies on vibebrowser.app at install time: an install-attribution cookie carrying campaign parameters, and a one-time analytics attribution nonce. These cookies are used solely to attribute an install to a campaign, are deleted immediately after being read, and are never used for tracking. No cookies are read from any other site. Browser storage is used only for extension functionality as described above.

Our documentation site and user portal use Google Analytics 4 with cookie consent. See our Cookie Policy for details.

  • Disable error tracking (if option is provided)

7.2 Opt-Out Options​

  • Error Tracking: Production builds include error tracking; development builds may allow disabling
  • AI Services: You control which AI services to use via API key configuration
  • Extension Features: You can disable specific features in settings

8. Children's Privacy​

The Extension is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

14. Browser Permissions​

The Extension requests the following browser permissions:

  • activeTab: Access current tab for automation
  • alarms: Keep the service worker alive during long-running agent tasks
  • audioCapture: Enable voice input for hands-free browser automation
  • cookies: Read and remove one-time first-party install-attribution cookies
  • debugger: Advanced browser control and accessibility inspection
  • history: Read recent browsing history to generate personalized suggestions
  • identity: OAuth authentication
  • offscreen: Run the on-device model in a background document
  • scripting: Execute scripts for automation
  • sidePanel: Display side panel interface
  • storage: Store settings and API keys locally
  • tabGroups: Organize tabs
  • tabs: Manage browser tabs
  • unlimitedStorage: Keep the on-device model cache from being evicted
  • webNavigation: Monitor page navigation
  • webRequest: Observe network requests and response headers while an agent task runs or an MCP client is connected

In addition, the Extension requests host access to all URLs (<all_urls>) so it can automate any site the user directs it to.

These permissions are necessary for extension functionality and are not used for tracking.

15. Data Minimization​

We follow data minimization principles:

  • Collect only data necessary for functionality
  • Process data locally when possible
  • Send to third parties only when required for AI services
  • Do not store unnecessary data on servers

16. Chrome Web Store Limited Use Compliance​

This extension complies with the Chrome Web Store Limited Use policy for user data:

Affirmative Statement: Vibe AI Browser Co-Pilot's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Specific Permission Justification:

  • activeTab: Used to access the current tab's content when the user starts a task from the side panel or the omnibox
  • alarms: Used to keep the service worker alive while a long-running agent task is in progress
  • audioCapture: Used to open the microphone for voice input: the extension calls getUserMedia({ audio: true }) to trigger Chrome's real microphone-permission gate, then runs the browser's built-in Web Speech API over live microphone audio while you dictate. Audio is never recorded or persisted by the extension, but microphone audio is streamed to the browser's speech-recognition service and the resulting transcript is sent to the model provider you selected.
  • cookies: Used once at install to read and then remove two short-lived, first-party cookies on vibebrowser.app: an install-attribution cookie carrying campaign parameters, and a one-time analytics attribution nonce
  • debugger: Used to attach the Chrome DevTools Protocol to the tab being automated for accessibility snapshots and reliable element interaction
  • history: Used to read the last 7 days of your browsing history (titles and URLs) automatically when the home page loads, so the extension can generate personalized suggestions. That history is included in the prompt sent to the model provider you selected, and it can be turned off with the vibe.suggestions.disabled setting.
  • identity: Used for OAuth sign-in to the Vibe portal and other connected providers
  • offscreen: Used to run the on-device model in a background document that is not tied to the side panel
  • scripting: Used to inject content scripts that read page content and perform clicks, typing and form fills
  • sidePanel: Used to display the chat interface, task progress and results
  • storage: Used to store settings, API keys and session state locally in the browser
  • tabGroups: Used to group the tabs opened during a multi-step task
  • tabs: Used to identify active pages for AI automation tasks requested by user
  • unlimitedStorage: Used to keep the on-device model cache in browser cache storage without quota eviction
  • webNavigation: Used to detect page loads for automation reliability
  • webRequest: Used while an agent task is running or an external MCP client is connected: a webRequest listener on <all_urls> captures the requests of the browsing session, including request bodies (for example the form field values you type) and response headers (excluding cookie and authorization-style headers), so the agent can diagnose failures. The agent can read that log through its network-request tools, so the captured material is passed to the model provider you selected.

Data Use Restrictions:

  • No data is sold to third parties or advertising platforms
  • No data is used for personalized advertising or credit determination
  • All sensitive data processing occurs locally or through user-configured AI services with user's own API keys
  • No human access to browsing data except for debugging with explicit user consent
  • Data is not used beyond the single disclosed purpose (AI-powered browser automation)
