Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 2026

API Inspector Pro Privacy Policy

API Inspector Pro ("the Extension") is designed with a privacy-first approach. This Privacy Policy explains how the Extension handles information when you use it.

Overview

API Inspector Pro helps developers inspect, analyze, debug, and export API requests directly within their browser.

The Extension does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share your API data with the developer.

All captured data remains on your device unless you explicitly choose to send data to a third-party AI provider for analysis.

Information We Collect

We Do Not Collect

The developer does not collect:

• Personal information

• Names

• Email addresses

• Passwords

• Authentication tokens

• API keys

• Request payloads

• Response payloads

• Browsing history

• Usage analytics

• Crash reports

• Telemetry data

No captured network traffic is transmitted to the developer's servers.

Local Data Storage

To provide its functionality, API Inspector Pro may store data locally on your device using browser storage technologies such as:

• IndexedDB

• Chrome Storage APIs

Locally stored data may include:

• Captured API requests

• Request history

• Collections

• Saved filters

• Environment configurations

• User preferences

• Export settings

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it or submit it to a third-party AI provider.

The developer has no access to locally stored data.

API Request Inspection

The Extension may access network requests and responses in order to provide features such as:

• Request inspection

• Header viewing

• Response viewing

• JWT decoding

• API debugging

• Request replay

• Export generation

All processing is performed locally within your browser whenever possible.

Authentication Tokens

The Extension may display authentication information that is already present in network requests, including:

• Bearer tokens

• JWT tokens

• OAuth tokens

• API keys

This information is displayed solely to the user for debugging purposes.

The Extension does not transmit, collect, or store this information outside of the user's browser.

AI Features

AI-powered features are optional and disabled by default.

Examples include:

• Error explanations

• Request analysis

• Performance recommendations

• Security insights

• Code generation

• Documentation generation

User-Provided AI Providers

Users may optionally connect their own AI provider, including:

• Anthropic Claude

• OpenAI

• Google Gemini

• Other supported providers

When AI analysis is requested:

• Data is sent directly to the selected provider.

• The user supplies and controls their own API credentials.

• The developer does not receive or store API keys.

• The developer does not proxy AI requests through their own servers.

• The developer cannot access submitted request or response data.

Users should review the privacy policies of their selected AI provider before using AI features.

Chrome Built-in AI

Where supported, API Inspector Pro may use browser-provided AI capabilities.

Use of such capabilities is governed by the browser vendor's privacy policies and settings.

Request Replay

If the user chooses to replay a request:

• The request is sent directly to the original destination endpoint.

• The developer is not involved in the request.

• The developer does not receive copies of replayed requests.

Users are responsible for ensuring they have authorization to replay requests.

Export Features

The Extension may allow exporting data in formats such as:

• cURL

• Postman Collections

• OpenAPI Specifications

• JSON

• HAR Files

All exports are generated locally on the user's device.

Data Sharing

API Inspector Pro does not:

• Sell user data

• Share user data with advertisers

• Share user data with data brokers

• Transfer user data to developer-controlled servers

• Use data for advertising

• Use data for marketing purposes

Third-Party Services

The Extension does not include:

• Analytics platforms

• Advertising networks

• Tracking technologies

• User behavior monitoring

• Crash reporting services

• Telemetry services

Third-party services are used only when explicitly selected by the user for AI analysis.

Security

API Inspector Pro is designed to minimize data exposure by processing information locally whenever possible.

Because API traffic may contain sensitive information, users should exercise caution when sharing exports or submitting data to third-party AI providers.

Data Retention

All locally stored data remains under the user's control.

Users may delete data at any time by:

• Clearing extension storage

• Removing saved collections

• Uninstalling the extension

• Clearing browser data

Children's Privacy

API Inspector Pro is intended for developers and technical users and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically.

Updates will be reflected by revising the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
