HTTP Lens - Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 15, 2025

Introduction

HTTP Lens ("the Extension") is a Chrome DevTools extension for debugging HTTP and GraphQL network requests. This privacy policy explains how the Extension handles your data.

Data Collection

HTTP Lens does NOT collect, transmit, or store any personal data or browsing information on external servers. All captured network request data stays entirely within your browser and is never sent to any third-party service.

Data Storage

Network request data captured during a debugging session is stored temporarily in your browser's session storage (chrome.storage.session) solely to preserve state across DevTools panel reloads. This data is automatically cleared when you close the browser.

Network Permissions

The Extension requires network-related permissions to capture and display HTTP requests from the inspected page. The "Request Replay" feature re-sends requests via a background service worker. These requests are sent only to the same origins that your inspected page originally contacted — never to any external analytics or tracking service.

Third-Party Services

HTTP Lens does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. No data is shared with any third party.

Open Source

HTTP Lens is open source. You can review the complete source code to verify these privacy claims at https://github.com/khanakia/http-lens.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
