Privacy and data

Everything BrowserClaw records about your work stays on your computer. No cloud sync, no account, no server-side history of what your agents did. This page walks through exactly what stays local, what leaves as anonymous product events, and what your AI’s own provider handles.

​

What stays on your machine

Your history, cookies, logged-in sessions, downloads, and every recording of what your agents did live in BrowserClaw’s local browser profile on your disk. Sessions and screenshots the audit and replay pages show you all live under ~/.browserclaw/. None of it uploads. There is no cloud sync, no server-side account, no shared history. If you want to wipe any of it, delete the files.

​

What we never see

The following never leaves your machine, not in any stream, not in any log:

• URLs your agents visit
• Page titles and page content
• Prompts you send your AI
• Tool arguments and tool results
• Screenshots
• File paths
• Passwords
• API keys
• Your email

​

Anonymous product events

BrowserClaw sends a small amount of anonymous usage data so we can see how the product is used and fix rough edges. It’s on by default and off with one toggle in Settings. Here’s every field that goes out:

• Startup and shutdown
• Which AI tools connect and disconnect (the tool’s name from a fixed list, plus session end times)
• BrowserClaw version and your operating system

None of the fields in the “never leaves” list above are in this stream. There is no user identifier. There is no page content. These events go to PostHog, a product analytics service. They’re subject to PostHog’s own privacy policy. If you’d rather send nothing at all, open Settings and switch the toggle off.

​

Your AI’s own provider

When your AI works in BrowserClaw, the AI itself (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and so on) talks to its own vendor with your prompts. What that vendor does with the data is governed by their privacy policy, not ours. BrowserClaw does not intermediate that leg.

​

The Claude Desktop extension

The Claude Desktop extension (the .mcpb file you drop onto Settings) collects zero data. No analytics, no telemetry, no error reporting, no user identifiers. The extension is a small forwarder: Claude Desktop asks it something, it hands the call to BrowserClaw on your own machine, and passes the result back to Claude Desktop. It talks to no service on the internet on its own. Nothing kept, nothing sent.
