Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 4, 2025

Fireclaw is a browser extension that helps you scrape and crawl websites using the Firecrawl API. Your privacy is important to us.

Data Collection

We do not collect, store, or share any of your personal data. This extension operates entirely locally in your browser, with the exception of API calls to Firecrawl for scraping/crawling functionality.

Permissions

The extension requests the following permissions:

activeTab

• Purpose: Access the URL and title of the currently active tab
• Usage: Required to send the current page URL to Firecrawl for scraping/crawling
• Data Access: Only when you explicitly click the extension icon

tabs

• Purpose: Query information about the active browser tab
• Usage: Required to detect which page you want to scrape
• Data Access: Only reads tab URL and title, no browsing history

downloads

• Purpose: Save scraped content to your computer
• Usage: Downloads scraped/crawled content as files (Markdown, JSON, HTML, etc.)
• Data Access: Only creates files when you initiate a scrape/crawl

storage

• Purpose: Store your settings and API key locally
• Usage: Saves your Firecrawl API key and format preferences in your browser's local storage
• Data Storage: All data stays on your device, never transmitted to us

Host Permissions (https://api.firecrawl.dev/*)

• Purpose: Communicate with Firecrawl's API
• Usage: Sends scrape/crawl requests to Firecrawl's servers
• Data Transmitted: Page URLs you choose to scrape and your Firecrawl API key

Third-Party Services

This extension uses the Firecrawl API to perform web scraping and crawling. When you use the extension:

• The URL of the page you want to scrape is sent to Firecrawl's servers
• Your Firecrawl API key is transmitted with each request for authentication
• Firecrawl processes the request and returns the scraped content

Firecrawl's data handling is governed by their own privacy policy. Please review Firecrawl's Privacy Policy for more information.

Data Storage

The following data is stored locally in your browser only:

• Your Firecrawl API key
• Your format preferences (Markdown, HTML, JSON, etc.)
• Other scraping options you configure

This data never leaves your device except for the API key, which is sent to Firecrawl servers only for authentication purposes.

No Analytics or Tracking

We do not use any analytics, tracking, or telemetry services. We have no way to know:

• Which websites you scrape
• How often you use the extension
• What content you extract
• Any other usage information

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in this document with an updated "Last Updated" date.

Your Rights

You have full control over your data:

• You can delete your API key and preferences at any time by clearing your browser's extension data
• You can uninstall the extension at any time
• No data persists on our servers (because we don't have any servers)
