Privacy Policy

1. Local-Only Execution

The Playwright Pad Runner Chrome extension serves strictly as a communication bridge between the Playwright Pad web editor (hosted at https://playwrightpad.in) and a lightweight runner installed locally on your operating system.

Any tests you choose to execute are launched directly on your local system's node process. The raw code and test results never pass through external intermediate servers, maintaining 100% data residency and confidentiality on your local workstation.

2. Chrome Extension Permissions

To function correctly, the extension declares the following permissions in its manifest. Here is exactly why they are used and how your privacy is preserved:

• nativeMessaging: Used exclusively to communicate with the locally-registered runner host configuration so that browser automation tests can run on your system.
• storage: Used to save your UI workspace preferences (such as target run environment) locally inside your browser profile.
• alarms: Scheduled entirely inside the extension's background service worker to maintain a connection heartbeat and prevent connection timeouts while tests are running.
• scripting / host permissions: Restricted to whitelisted domains https://*.playwrightpad.in and http://localhost. It is used to securely route action messages between the web IDE and the extension content script.

3. Cookie & Session Policy

The extension does not inject, track, or share third-party cookies or session trackers. Cookies are only used on the web app for standard security authentication (such as secure user login via Firebase Auth) if you explicitly choose to create an account to track your curriculum progress.
