Privacy Policy

InterceptPilot is built for local development and QA workflows. Its technical processing stays inside the user's browser and starts only when the user explicitly activates capture for a selected tab.

Local-first browser tooling

Designed to inspect and simulate network behavior without sending your data anywhere else.

InterceptPilot is a Manifest V3 Chrome and Edge extension for frontend developers and QA teams. It helps inspect HTTP and HTTPS requests, create mock rules, review logs, and test API scenarios directly in the browser.

Local-only No backend No tracking No third-party sharing User-controlled capture

Overview

This policy explains how InterceptPilot handles technical data while supporting local debugging, request inspection, mocking, and QA testing inside the browser.

InterceptPilot does not operate a backend service, does not send captured data to external servers, and does not share or sell user data.

Single purpose

InterceptPilot has one purpose: help frontend developers and QA teams inspect browser requests, simulate API behavior, and test application scenarios locally.

Capture begins only after the user explicitly starts it, and only for the browser tab the user selects.

Data handled locally

To perform its development and QA purpose, InterceptPilot may process technical data locally such as:

  • browsing and request activity related to the user-selected tab
  • request URLs, HTTP methods, status codes, headers, and timings
  • additional technical request or response details, such as payload content, when needed for inspection, debugging, and mock flows
  • logs, rules, collections, filters, and extension settings

This processing happens inside the browser on the user's device.

Data we do not collect

InterceptPilot does not collect or transmit data to a company backend because it has no backend.

  • no analytics or telemetry
  • no advertising identifiers
  • no cross-site tracking
  • no profiling
  • no sale of data

How data is used

Technical data is used locally and only to support the extension's visible features, including:

  • displaying inspected network activity for the selected tab in the extension UI
  • supporting local debugging, diagnostics, and QA workflows
  • creating, applying, and reviewing mock rules and collections
  • preserving settings and working context required for the tool between sessions

Local storage

Rules, collections, filters, logs, and settings are stored in the browser's local storage area used by the extension.

InterceptPilot uses that local storage so the user can keep configurations and continue working between sessions without relying on remote infrastructure.

Third-party sharing

InterceptPilot does not share captured data, rules, logs, or settings with third parties. It does not sell data and does not make captured technical data available to advertisers, data brokers, or external analytics providers.

Remote code

InterceptPilot does not execute remote code. Its JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and related assets are packaged with the extension itself.

The extension's scripts are loaded from extension resources, not from remote servers, and the product is not designed around externally hosted executable code.

Permissions

InterceptPilot uses browser permissions only to provide its development and QA features, such as attaching to a user-selected tab, inspecting requests, supporting debugging workflows, storing local rules and settings, and rendering the extension UI.

These permissions are used only for the extension's stated purpose. They are not used for tracking, advertising, analytics, or background collection.

User control

The user chooses when capture starts, which tab is involved, and when capture stops. InterceptPilot does not silently activate request capture across unrelated tabs.

Because data stays local, the user remains in direct control of browser-stored rules, collections, logs, filters, and settings.
