Privacy Policy — RustCLI Browser Extension

Overview

RustCLI is a browser extension that creates a bridge between the RustCLI command-line tool and your Chrome browser. This extension is designed with privacy as a core principle.

Purpose

The single purpose of this extension is to enable sharing of browser cookies and tab information between your Chrome browser and the locally running RustCLI daemon on your own machine. This allows you to reuse existing authenticated sessions from your browser in command-line tools and automation scripts.

Data Collection and Transmission

All data processing happens locally on your machine. No data is collected, transmitted, or stored to any external servers or third parties by this extension.

What Data We Access

• Cookies: The extension can read cookies from any domain when requested by your local RustCLI commands. These cookies are only shared with the local daemon running on your machine and are never sent elsewhere.
• Tab Information: The extension can list, open, and close browser tabs when requested by your local RustCLI commands. This information never leaves your machine.
• Active Tab: The extension can access information about the currently active tab when requested.

What Data We Do NOT Collect

• Personally identifiable information: None collected
• Health information: None collected
• Financial information: None collected
• Authentication information: Only accessed locally to share with your own commands, never transmitted to third parties
• Personal communications: None collected
• Location data: None collected
• Web history: Not collected (only accessed when requested by your local CLI commands)
• User activity: Not tracked or collected
• Website content: Not collected
• Analytics: No analytics or tracking of any kind

Data Storage

The extension does not store any persistent data beyond what is necessary for the local communication with the RustCLI daemon. All configuration and cached data stays local to your browser instance.

Permission Justifications

• tabs: Needed to list and manage browser tabs from the RustCLI CLI
• cookies: Needed to read cookies from all domains to share with the local CLI daemon
• activeTab: Needed to access information about the currently active tab
• alarms: Needed to maintain persistent connection to the local daemon
• debugger: Needed for debugging connections to the local RustCLI daemon when needed

Third Parties

This extension only communicates with a locally running RustCLI daemon on localhost:19825. No connections are made to any external servers or third-party services.
