Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 12, 2026
Overview
MCP DeskManager — Browser Bridge ("the Extension") is a Chrome extension that enables DeskManager desktop software to interact with your browser tabs. This privacy policy explains what data the Extension accesses and how it is handled.
Data Collection
The Extension does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data.
The Extension does not use analytics, tracking, cookies, or any form of telemetry. No data is sent to external servers, cloud services, or third parties.
Local Communication Only
The Extension communicates exclusively with localhost:8348 — a local HTTP
server running on your own computer as part of DeskManager. This connection
never leaves your machine. No data is transmitted over the internet by the Extension.
What the Extension Accesses
When commanded by the local DeskManager software (and only after user permission), the Extension can:
- Read the visible text content of web pages
- List interactive elements (buttons, links, form fields)
- Click elements and type text into form fields
- Take screenshots of the visible tab
- List, open, close, and switch browser tabs
All of these actions are performed locally and the data stays on your computer.
Permissions Justification
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
activeTab | Capture screenshots and execute content scripts on the current page |
tabs | List open tabs, switch between tabs, create/close tabs |
scripting | Inject scripts to read page content, find elements, click buttons, type text |
alarms | Keep the service worker alive (Chrome MV3 kills idle workers after 30 seconds) |
host_permissions | localhost:8348 for local MCP communication; <all_urls> to interact with any page the user requests |
No Remote Code
The Extension does not load, execute, or fetch any remote code. All JavaScript is
bundled locally in background.js. The only network communication is HTTP
polling to localhost:8348.
User Control
The AI software must always ask for explicit permission before accessing your browser.
You can disable or remove the Extension at any time from chrome://extensions.
