The Glassdocs browser extension (published as “Docs Chat”) is client-side by design. It has no account system of its own, sets no tracking cookies, serves no ads, and never sells your data. This page explains exactly what it touches and where that data goes.

When you ask the agent about a page, the extension reads the current page's content and sends your prompt (plus that page context) to whichever AI backend you have chosen. That is the only outbound flow, and you choose where it goes. Nothing is sent anywhere until you type a message.
chrome.storage
(synced across your own Chrome profile and kept as a local fallback). They are never transmitted to
Glassdocs except, in Managed mode, the GitHub sign-in token used to authenticate you (below).app.glassdocs.site. It verifies
your identity using your GitHub sign-in token, records usage counts to enforce fair-use limits, and forwards
the request to an AI provider using Glassdocs' own key. It does not sell your data, show ads, or use your
content to train models. Switch to a bring-your-own-key backend to keep everything browser-to-provider.If your organization deploys the extension via Chrome enterprise policy (e.g. Google Workspace), an administrator may push a shared configuration - such as the backend to use - through Chrome's read-only managed storage. This config is set by your organization, not collected by Glassdocs. Your GitHub sign-in remains per-user, so your commits stay attributed to you.
For developers, an off-by-default diagnostics option can stream events to a local collector. It is restricted
to loopback addresses (localhost / 127.0.0.1); a non-loopback destination is ignored
so page content cannot be exfiltrated. It stays off unless you turn it on.
