Privacy Policy for Lucy Bridge
Lucy Bridge is the optional Chrome extension that lets you send the webpage you choose to the local Lucy desktop app. This policy covers the extension only.
Short version
Lucy Bridge reads the active tab only after you click the extension icon. It sends the captured page text to Lucy running locally on your Mac at http://127.0.0.1:8765. It does not sell data or send webpage content to third-party servers.
What the extension accesses
When you click the Lucy Bridge extension icon, the extension may access the URL, page title, visible page text, and basic page structure from the currently active browser tab. On LinkedIn pages, it may also structure visible post details such as author text, headline text, post text, post URL, and visible engagement text so Lucy can understand the page more accurately. It does not continuously monitor browsing, read tabs in the background, or access a page before you take that action.
How the extension uses data
The extension uses the selected page information for one purpose: sending it to the Lucy desktop app through the local bridge so Lucy can summarize, extract, draft, or answer questions about the page on your Mac.
What is sent to local Lucy
After your click, Lucy Bridge sends a local request that may include the page URL, page title, extracted page text, raw visible page text, and any structured LinkedIn post details found on the visible page. This request is sent to http://127.0.0.1:8765/page, which is the Lucy bridge server running on your own Mac.
Localhost communication
Lucy Bridge communicates with the local Lucy desktop bridge at http://127.0.0.1:8765. This is a local address on your computer. If the local bridge server is not running, the extension cannot send the page to Lucy.
Permissions

Data collection, sale, and sharing
We do not collect, sell, rent, or transfer personal data from Lucy Bridge. The extension does not send webpage content to us or to third-party servers. Page content is transmitted only to the local Lucy desktop app when you click the extension icon.
Local storage and retention
Lucy Bridge does not use Chrome extension storage to keep page content. After content reaches the local Lucy bridge server, the desktop bridge may keep the latest captured page in local memory and temporary files on your Mac, such as /tmp/lucy_browser_page.txt, /tmp/lucy_browser_raw_page.txt, and /tmp/lucy_browser_linkedin_posts.json, so the desktop app can read it. You can stop the local bridge server or delete those temporary files through macOS if needed.
Relationship to Lucy Desktop
After page content reaches the local Lucy desktop app, the desktop app handles it according to the Lucy Desktop Privacy Policy. For example, Lucy may include that content in a local chat or memory if you ask it to do so.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if Lucy Bridge changes. When we do, we will update the effective date and publish the revised policy on this website.
