Privacy policy — WalkMe jQuery Selector Assistant

Last updated: 9 August 2026

The short version

Nothing is collected by the developer. There is no server, no analytics, no error reporting, and no third-party script.

Two kinds of data are handled, both on your own machine, and the Chrome Web Store listing discloses both:

• The page content you inspect. Read to work out a selector, processed in your browser, never transmitted anywhere.
• Your Anthropic API key, if you choose to save one. Stored locally, and sent to Anthropic — and nowhere else — only when you use the optional AI feature, which is off unless you switch it on.

Both are described in full below.

What the extension reads

When you use the panel, it reads the element you selected in DevTools — its HTML, the elements around it, and the chain of frames it sits in — from the page you have open. It works out a jQuery selector from that, in your browser, and shows it to you.

That page content is never sent anywhere. It is not stored, not logged, and not kept after you close DevTools.

What the extension stores

Only your own settings, in the extension’s local storage on this machine:

• whether AI assist is switched on
• your Anthropic API key, if you chose to save one
• which model you picked
• the last intent option you selected

No web page can read this. It is not synchronised to your other Chrome profiles. “Remove stored key” in the panel deletes all of it, immediately.

The one network call, and only if you turn it on

AI assist is off by default and the extension is fully functional without it. The selectors, the scores, the warnings, and the explanations are all worked out by fixed rules inside the extension, and no AI is involved in any of them.

If you switch AI assist on and supply your own Anthropic API key, then one thing sends data off your machine: when you type a description of what you want to target and press Read, that sentence and your API key are sent to https://api.anthropic.com so the wording can be matched to one of the three targeting options. Nothing else is sent — not the page, not the element you selected, not the selector.

That request goes to Anthropic and nowhere else. The extension’s content security policy names api.anthropic.com as the only permitted destination, so it is enforced by the browser rather than by our good intentions. Anthropic’s handling of that request is governed by their own privacy policy and the terms attached to your API key, which is your account, not ours.

Switching AI assist off, or removing the key, stops this entirely.

Permissions, and why each one exists

The extension requests exactly one permission:

• storage — to keep the settings listed above between sessions. It gives no access to any web page.

It requests no host permissions, runs no content scripts, and cannot read or change pages you are not actively inspecting in DevTools.

What we never do

• No analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or usage tracking of any kind.
• No selling, sharing, or transferring of any data, because none is collected.
• No advertising, and no profiling.
• No remote code: everything the extension runs ships inside the package.

Raise an issue with the internal team that distributes this extension. Because nothing is collected, there is no stored personal data to request, correct, or delete beyond the settings on your own machine, which you can clear yourself from the panel or by removing the extension.
