Browser permissions

Agent EMP Extension asks for as little as possible. Here's exactly what each permission is for.

PermissionWhat it's used for
storageSaves your timers, intervals, connection status and device credential in the Extension's own browser storage.
alarmsRuns each tab's timer and the once-a-minute access check, even when the popup is closed.
scriptingOn sites you granted, runs small checks inside the page: whether you're typing or have unsaved edits (yes/no only), and saving/restoring your scroll position.
activeTabLets the popup see the address and title of the tab you're looking at when you open it, so you can start that tab.
idleNotices when your computer wakes or you come back, so the Extension re-checks access before catching up on timers.
Optional site access (http/https)Requested for one site at a time, only when you press Start on it. Without it, nothing on that site is touched. No site access is granted at install.

What stays on your computer vs. what is sent

  • Stays local: which tabs you started, their sites, titles and intervals, remembered intervals per page, scroll position, and the typing yes/no check.
  • Sent to AgentEmp: only the installation ID, device ID and secret, and extension version — to check whether your access is active.
  • Never collected: third-party logins, passwords, codes, cookies or session tokens, anything you type, page content, full addresses or browsing history.

How to stop or remove

  • Stop a tab: open the Extension and press Stop. Stop everything: press "Stop all tabs".
  • Remove site access: right-click the Extension icon → "This can read and change site data", or go to chrome://extensions → Agent EMP Extension → Details → Site access.
  • Disconnect this browser: Extension → More → Disconnect, or disconnect the device on your Account page.
  • Uninstall: chrome://extensions → Agent EMP Extension → Remove. This deletes all its local data.

Questions or deletion requests: contact your AgentEmp admin or account manager. See also the Privacy Notice.
