Extension Privacy Policy

AI Trace Browser Extension (Chrome & Firefox)

Last updated April 2026

What the extension reads

The AI Trace browser extension reads only the current tab URL to identify the website you are visiting. This URL is compared against a locally bundled mapping of company domains. No URLs, browsing history, or personal data are transmitted to AI Trace servers.

API requests

When you visit a recognized company website, the extension makes a single API request to aitrace.org to retrieve publicly available company data. This request contains only the company identifier (slug), not the full URL you visited.

What the extension does NOT do

  • Does NOT access or read page content
  • Does NOT inject scripts into web pages
  • Does NOT track browsing history or navigation patterns
  • Does NOT collect, transmit, or store personal data
  • Does NOT use analytics, telemetry, or tracking services
  • Does NOT require a user account

Local caching

API responses are cached locally in your browser's extension storage for 24 hours. This data is public information already available at aitrace.org.

Permissions

The extension requests only two permissions:

  • activeTab: to read the URL of the currently active tab
  • storage: to cache API responses locally

Source code

Source code is not yet publicly available.
