Privacy Policy — TestLens Recorder

Last updated: July 21, 2026

1. Who we are

TestLens Recorder is a Chrome extension for TestLens. It captures browser interactions (clicks, inputs, and navigation) so you can generate test cases and automation scripts in your TestLens account.

2. Data we collect

Only while you are actively recording, the extension may capture:

  • URL and title of pages you interact with
  • Click, typing, field change, and form submit events
  • Technical selectors for the element (CSS, attributes, short visible text)
  • Values typed into text fields (password values are masked by default; you may opt in to include them for login automation)
  • Post-action UI snapshots (page title, headings, visible alerts/toasts)
  • Optional screenshots of the visible tab on key steps
  • File names selected in file inputs (not file contents)
  • Hover, drag/drop, keyboard shortcuts, and explicit assertions you mark

We do not record screen video. We do not read page content outside an active recording session.

3. How we use the data

Events are sent to TestLens servers (testlensapp.com) tied to your authenticated account, to:

  • Create a project / recording session in the dashboard
  • Generate test cases and automation with AI
  • Show recording history in your account

4. Storage and retention

Recording data is stored in your TestLens account under the product’s retention policies. You can delete projects or recordings in the product. The extension does not sell or share your recordings with third parties for advertising.

5. Chrome permissions

  • activeTab / tabs / scripting / webNavigation: required to capture interactions on the tab under test.
  • storage / unlimitedStorage: recording state and temporary event buffers in the browser.
  • http(s) host access: used only while you record; uploads go to TestLens.

6. Authentication

Uploading a recording requires a TestLens login. If there is no session, the extension opens the login page.
