DevSnoop

What DevSnoop accesses

• Page URL, title, DOM structure, element attributes, and selected computed styles when you or your coding agent run inspection commands.
• Page interaction targets and values you explicitly ask the extension to click, fill, hover, or scroll.
• Console logs, JavaScript exceptions, network request metadata, and screenshots when you run debugging commands.
• License key and activation state stored locally in the extension.

How DevSnoop uses data

• To execute browser inspection and interaction commands that you initiate through the extension or the connected local agent bridge.
• To verify license activation with `https://backend.devsnoop.com/verify`.
• To return requested results to the local native host running on your machine so your coding agent can use them.

Where data goes

• Extension command results are sent to the local DevSnoop native host via Chrome Native Messaging.
• The native host exposes a local HTTP server on `127.0.0.1:9400` for your coding agent.
• License verification requests are sent to `backend.devsnoop.com`.
• DevSnoop does not sell page data or use inspected page content for advertising.

Local storage and retention

• The extension stores license key, activation state, and last verification timestamp in `chrome.storage.local`.
• The native host currently writes diagnostic logs to `/tmp/devsnoop-host.log`.
• Screenshot commands currently write image files to `/tmp/devsnoop-screenshots/` on the local machine.

Permissions summary

• `activeTab` and runtime site access: run inspection and interaction commands on pages you choose.
• `scripting`: execute inspection and interaction logic in the active page context.
• `debugger`: capture console, network, exception, and screenshot data for debugging commands.
• `nativeMessaging`: communicate with the local DevSnoop host installed on your machine.
• `tabs`: identify and target the current tab and list open tabs for agent commands.
• `storage`: save license activation state and related local settings.

Sharing

DevSnoop shares data only as needed to operate the product: with the local native host on your machine, with the local coding agent that calls that host, and with `backend.devsnoop.com` for license verification. DevSnoop does not sell personal data.
