# Privacy Policy — AutoMate IT
**Last updated: June 2, 2026**
AutoMate IT ("the extension," "we," "us") is a Chrome extension that generates
Cypress and Playwright tests using AI. This policy explains what data the extension handles and
how. Plain version: **we don't run servers that collect your data — almost everything stays in
your browser.**
---
## 1. What we store, and where
The extension stores the following **locally in your browser** (via `chrome.storage`), and
nowhere else:
- Your AI provider API key (Groq and/or Anthropic/Claude)
- Your preferences: default framework, test pattern, and theme
- Saved snippets
- Your test generation history
- Recorded actions and scanned-element data for the current session
We do **not** operate a backend that receives, stores, or logs this information. Uninstalling
the extension or clearing its storage removes it.
## 2. What gets sent off your machine, and to whom
When **you** click "Generate" (or run the Agent), the extension sends the relevant context —
such as recorded actions, scanned element selectors, the page URL, and the test parameters you
chose — directly to **the AI provider you configured**:
- **Groq** — https://groq.com/privacy-policy/
- **Anthropic (Claude)** — https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
These requests are authenticated with **your own API key** and go directly from your browser to
that provider. The generated test code is returned to your browser. We are not an intermediary
and do not receive a copy. Your use of those providers is governed by their privacy policies.
The extension does not transmit your data to Gaali Bot or any other third party.
## 3. What we do NOT collect
We do not collect or sell personally identifiable information, browsing history, location,
financial or health data, personal communications, or analytics about your usage.
## 4. Permissions
The extension requests only the permissions needed to read the page you are actively testing,
record actions, scan elements, store your settings locally, and export files. Each permission and
its purpose is documented in the store listing. Pages are read only when you trigger a feature on
them.
## 5. Children
AutoMate IT is a developer tool and is not directed to children under 13.
## 6. Changes
We may update this policy as the extension evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the
"Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, noted in the extension or store listing.
