Browser Extension Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 24, 2026

This policy covers the Proxy Tower browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox. The extension is a client for the Proxy Tower mobile proxy service. It is designed to hold as little data as possible and to keep your credentials on your own device.

What the extension stores

The following are saved only in your browser's local extension storage and are never transmitted to us except as described below:

  • Your proxy connection details: host, port, username, and password.
  • Your preference: whether the proxy is currently enabled.

There is no account, sign-in, or sync inside the extension, and no server of ours receives or syncs this data. Uninstalling the extension deletes it.

What is transmitted, and to whom

  • Your browsing traffic, while the proxy is enabled, is routed through the proxy server you configured (by default gateway.proxytower.io). Your proxy username and password are sent to that proxy server to authenticate the connection — this is the normal operation of a proxy and the entire purpose of the extension. The extension does not read, store, or transmit the contents of your traffic.
  • Your proxy username and password are also sent to the Proxy Tower management API at https://proxyops.io/api/v1/connect/*, over HTTPS, only when you use the optional management features in the popup (rotate IP, change location, view status). They authenticate management of your own proxy.

Requests to proxyops.io and proxytower.io are always sent directly (not through the proxy) so the service stays reachable.

What we do NOT do

  • We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties.
  • We do not include analytics, tracking, or advertising.
  • We do not collect your browsing history.
  • We do not execute remote code; all extension code ships inside the published package.

Permissions

  • proxy — to route your browser through your configured proxy.
  • webRequest / webRequestAuthProvider (Chrome) — to supply your proxy username and password to the browser's proxy authentication challenge. This is the only mechanism an extension has to authenticate a proxy in Chrome.
  • storage — to save your settings locally on your device.
  • Host access (all sites) — the proxy and its authentication apply to every site you choose to browse while connected.
