Effective date: August 30, 2026
Easy Spec - Playwright ("the extension") is a Chrome extension for building Playwright test flows by picking elements on a page and exporting them as Playwright tests and Page Objects. This policy explains what data the extension accesses, how it is used, and, most importantly, what happens to it.
The extension does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any user data with its developer or any third party. Everything it does happens locally, on your own machine, and only in response to your own actions.
To do its job, the extension accesses:
debugger permission) and a content script to read page structure (DOM/accessibility tree), take screenshots, and interact with elements (click, fill, navigate), only on the tab you have targeted, only while you are actively using the extension against it. It is never active in the background across your other tabs or browsing.chrome.storage.local. This never leaves your browser.It is not. The extension has no backend server. The only network communication it ever makes is a WebSocket connection to ws://127.0.0.1:<port>, a local bridge that lets an AI coding agent (for example Claude Code, running the accompanying MCP server) on the same machine inspect and drive the flow you are building, if and only if you have started that agent yourself and approved its connection in the side panel. This traffic never leaves your device.
Your project data is never used for advertising, never sold, never shared with third parties, and never used to make credit or employment decisions.
debugger: drives the tab you are actively recording or replaying against (clicking, filling, navigating, inspecting) via Chrome's debugging protocol. Not used to monitor any other activity.activeTab / tabs: lets you pick which open tab a flow targets.scripting: injects the element picker into the page you are working with.<all_urls> (host permission): the pages you want to build tests against can be any site, so the picker and replay engine need to be able to run on any of them. It only actually runs on tabs you target.sidePanel: hosts the extension's UI.storage: the one local UI preference described above.The extension is a developer tool and is not directed at children.
If what the extension collects or how it is used ever changes, this policy will be updated and the change called out in the extension's release notes before the update is published.
