In short: Claudia stores all data locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of your browsing data on external servers. The only external communication is license key validation with our payment processor.
1. Data Collection
What we collect
→License key validation: When you activate a license, your license key is sent to LemonSqueezy (our payment processor) for validation. No browsing data, recordings, or personal information is included in this request.
→No browsing data leaves your device: All recorded steps, screenshots, URLs, form inputs, and session data are stored exclusively in your browser's local IndexedDB storage.
What we do NOT collect
closeBrowsing history
closeScreenshots or page content
closeForm inputs or passwords
closePersonal information
closeAnalytics, telemetry, or usage tracking
2. Data Storage & Encryption
All recording data (steps, screenshots, sessions) is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it.
→Encryption at rest: All step data is encrypted using AES-256-GCM via the Web Crypto API before being written to IndexedDB.
→Ephemeral key storage: The encryption key is stored in chrome.storage.session (memory-only). It is automatically cleared when the browser is closed and cannot be extracted at runtime.
→No cloud backup: Claudia does not back up, sync, or replicate your data to any server.
3. Sensitive Data Redaction
Claudia automatically detects and redacts sensitive information before it is stored:
→Password fields: Any type="password" input is replaced with [REDACTED] — the actual value is never captured.
→Credit card numbers: Detected via pattern matching and replaced with [CARD REDACTED].
→Social Security Numbers: Detected via pattern matching and replaced with [SSN REDACTED].
→API keys & tokens: Common key patterns (sk_, pk_, bearer tokens) are detected and replaced with [API KEY REDACTED].
→Sensitive field detection: Fields with autocomplete hints (cc-number, cc-csc) or names containing "password", "secret", "token", etc. are fully redacted.
4. Consent
A consent dialog is displayed before every recording session, disclosing what data will be captured. Recording does not begin until you explicitly confirm. You can stop recording at any time.
5. Desktop Recording (Optional Add-on)
Claudia offers an optional desktop monitoring add-on that captures mouse clicks, window switches, and screenshots outside the browser. This feature:
→Is disabled by default and requires explicit opt-in.
→Runs as a local Python process via Chrome Native Messaging — no data is sent externally.
→Suppresses keystroke capture in sensitive windows (login screens, payment forms, password managers).
→Can be uninstalled independently of the Chrome extension.
