Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Lynx Helper, the Chrome extension for the Lynx desktop app.

Lynx Helper connects Chrome to the Lynx desktop app and local Lynx helper services running on the same device. It lets Lynx list browser tabs, attach to selected browser targets, read page context, capture screenshots, navigate, click, type, upload files, download files, and perform other browser automation actions that you request through Lynx.

Lynx Helper works as a bridge between Chrome and the local Lynx desktop experience.

• Browser tab data, including tab IDs, window IDs, URLs, titles, active tab state, and page origins.
• Website content needed for requested automation or page understanding, including page text, HTML, DOM structure, accessibility data, element selectors, form fields, and article text.
• Form data, personal communications, and user-generated content contained on pages you ask Lynx to read or automate, such as messages, drafts, documents, comments, form fields, and page content you create or edit.
• Screenshots of browser pages when you ask Lynx to inspect or automate visual page state.
• Cookies, including authentication cookies, for a specific domain or URL when a Lynx browser task requires signed-in session context. Lynx Helper requires a cookie scope before reading cookies.
• Local file paths supplied by Lynx when you ask Lynx to upload a file through a website file picker.
• Extension connection metadata, such as the installed extension version, connection status, command results, browser debugging events, and error messages.

• To connect the Lynx desktop app with Chrome.
• To let Lynx perform browser automation actions that you initiate.
• To read and summarize website content so Lynx can answer questions or continue a task.
• To reuse your existing browser session when a task depends on a website where you are already signed in.
• To debug reliability, confirm extension compatibility, and report command results back to Lynx.

Lynx Helper sends browser data to the local Lynx desktop app and local Lynx helper services through loopback connections on the same device.

When you use Lynx features that rely on AI models or Lynx cloud services, selected task context from the desktop app may be sent to Lynx AI services, AI model providers selected or configured in Lynx, and infrastructure, security, or operations service providers acting for Lynx as needed to provide the requested feature.

We may also disclose data if required by law, to protect users or the service from abuse, or as part of a business transfer with appropriate user notice or consent where required.

We use browser data only to provide, secure, maintain, and improve Lynx browser automation and related Lynx features.

We do not sell user data, use browser data for personalized advertising, transfer browser data to data brokers, or use browser data to determine creditworthiness or lending eligibility.

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Lynx Helper does not use Chrome extension storage to persist browser content, screenshots, cookies, or browsing history. Data handled by the extension is passed to the local Lynx desktop app or local Lynx helper services for the active task.

The Lynx desktop app may store task history, logs, settings, and user-authorized context according to the app settings and product behavior. Browser task data is retained only as long as needed for the feature, troubleshooting, security, or legal obligations.

The extension communicates with Lynx through local loopback connections. Data sent from Lynx desktop services to Lynx cloud services or model providers is transmitted with modern encryption in transit.

Off-device transmission uses HTTPS, WSS, or equivalent modern encrypted transport. Local loopback traffic stays on the same device.

You can disable Lynx Helper in Chrome, remove the extension, or stop the Lynx desktop app to end the extension connection.

• Control when Lynx browser automation runs by choosing which tasks you start in the Lynx desktop app.
• Review Chrome extension permissions from Chrome settings.
• Disable or remove Lynx Helper from Chrome at any time.
• Contact us to request privacy support or data deletion help.
