Privacy Policy — Voila
Last updated: June 29, 2026
Voila is a Chrome extension that lets you inspect any web page's UI and ask an AI assistant (Claude, by Anthropic) to explain, debug, restyle, or rewrite parts of it. This policy explains exactly what the extension does with your data. In short: it only sends data to the AI when you actively use it, and everything else stays on your device.
What is processed when you use it
When you send a message in the widget (or point at an element and ask for a change), the extension sends the following to the AI provider so it can answer:
- The messages you type in the chat.
- Context about the current page needed to act on it: the page URL and title, a short structural outline of the DOM, the page's CSS custom properties (design tokens), and — for any element you select with the picker — its CSS selector, its current text, and its computed styles.
This data is sent only at the moment you make a request. The extension does not run in the background collecting data, and it does not read or transmit anything from pages you don't actively use it on.
Who processes that data
- Anthropic — the AI model provider that generates the responses. Data sent to the Anthropic API is processed to produce a reply and, per Anthropic's API terms, is not used to train their models. See Anthropic's Privacy Policy.
- Proxy server (beta only) — during the free beta, requests are routed through our own proxy (hosted on Vercel) that attaches the API credentials and forwards the request to Anthropic. The proxy handles requests in transit only and does not store the content of your requests.
What is stored on your device (and never sent to us)
The following is kept locally in your browser via
chrome.storage.local and is never transmitted to us or any third
party:
- Your settings (selected model; and, outside the beta, your own API key if you add one).
- The style and text edits you make, saved per website so they re-apply on reload.
- Your chat history, the widget's position, theme, and per-site show/hide preference.
If you use your own Anthropic API key (outside the beta), it is stored locally and used only to authenticate your requests to Anthropic — it is never sent anywhere else.
What we do not do
- No analytics, tracking, advertising, or fingerprinting.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your data.
- We do not maintain user accounts or a database of your activity.
Data retention and deletion
Locally stored data stays in your browser until you clear it or uninstall the
extension. You can remove a site's saved edits from the widget (Reset), delete
chats from the Recents list, or remove all extension data by uninstalling it from
chrome://extensions. The proxy does not retain request content;
Anthropic processes data per its own retention policy.
Security
All network requests are made over HTTPS. In the beta, the AI provider key lives only on the server side (the proxy) and is never shipped inside the extension.
Changes
We may update this policy as the extension evolves; the "Last updated" date above will change accordingly.
