Raava Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 14, 2026
Raava is a personal automation tool: a Chrome extension and a desktop
application that observe how you work, find repetitive workflows, and build
agents to automate them. This policy explains exactly what is recorded, where
it goes, and how you stay in control. It is written to be read, not skimmed
past.
The short version
Everything Raava records stays on your own computer. The
Chrome extension sends data to exactly one place: the Raava application
listening at 127.0.0.1:8765 on your machine. We — the developers — never
receive, see, or have access to your data. There are no tracking pixels and
no third-party services in the extension. The desktop application sends us
one thing on its own: a daily health report made of numbers and version
strings (described below), which you can switch off.
What the extension records
To reconstruct your workflows faithfully, the extension captures, on the
pages you use while recording is on:
- Clicks and the labels of the buttons/links you click
- Text you type into forms and spreadsheet cells
- Copy and paste events, including the copied/pasted text
- Navigation: the domain and path of pages you visit
(query strings are dropped and long IDs in paths are replaced with a
placeholder) and page titles (email addresses are stripped before
storage)
- Occasional screenshots of the visible tab, used to give
workflow summaries visual context
- Google Drive file moves (which file moved to which
folder), detected at the network layer because Drive performs moves in a
way page scripts cannot see
What is never recorded
- Passwords. Anything typed into a password field
(
input type="password") is never captured — only the fact that
a value was entered and its length.
- Anything while paused. One click on the Raava toolbar
icon pauses all recording; nothing is captured or retroactively recovered
from pause windows.
- The Raava dashboard itself. Activity on
127.0.0.1/localhost is excluded.
Where your data goes
- Your machine, and by default nowhere else. All
captured events go to the Raava application on your computer and are stored
in a local SQLite database in Raava's data folder. The extension has no
other network destination.
- Your own Anthropic API key (AI analysis). The Raava
desktop application — not the extension — sends summaries of recorded
sessions to Anthropic's Claude API to detect patterns and learn skills,
using an API key you provide, under your
Anthropic account. Before anything is sent, an anonymizer scrubs
credentials/API keys and personal-data patterns (email addresses, phone
numbers, card numbers, IDs, IP addresses, file paths). Anthropic's handling
of API data is governed by their policies:
anthropic.com/legal/privacy
- Your own accounts (agent actions). When you explicitly
run an agent that Raava built for you, it acts through your own logged-in
accounts (for example your Google account) to perform the workflow — the
same way you would by hand. Nothing about this is shared with the
developers.
- A daily health report to us (numbers only, switchable).
Once a day the desktop application sends a short report to a server we run:
Raava's version, your operating system name and version, how long it has
been running, counts (sessions, patterns, agents, runs by outcome,
suggestions, captured events), what your AI calls cost, and the locations
in Raava's own code where errors occurred (file, function, line and error
type — never the error message, which could quote your data). The report
carries no names of patterns or agents, no URLs, page titles, typed text,
file paths, email addresses, keys, or IP addresses; the server rejects any
report containing a field outside that fixed list. It is tied to your
invite code, not to an account. Settings shows the exact next report and
has a switch to turn it off. The server also records when your copy last
checked for updates.
- Troubleshooting files, only when you send one.
Settings has a "Report a problem" button. It writes a redacted
troubleshooting file to your Desktop (version numbers, settings, and error
excerpts with recorded content and secrets stripped out structurally) and
offers to send it to us; nothing is sent until you press Send. If Raava
crashed, it offers the same on its next start. Sent files are deleted after
30 days.
There is no other path by which anything about your use of Raava reaches
the developers, and no path at all by which your recorded data does. We could
not sell your data even if we wanted to — we never have it.
Your controls
- Pause / resume any time from the extension popup or
the desktop app tray.
- Review what was recorded and what any AI call would
receive in the Raava dashboard's per-session Privacy panel.
- Delete everything by deleting Raava's local data
folder (this removes the database, screenshots, and generated agents) and
uninstalling the extension and application. There is no server-side copy to
chase.
Data retention
Data is retained on your machine until you delete it. Raava sets no expiry
and performs no off-device backup. On our side, health reports are kept for
90 days and troubleshooting files for 30 days, then deleted.
Changes to this policy
If the extension's data practices ever change (for example, a new capture
type), this policy will be updated and the "Last updated" date bumped before
that version ships to the Web Store.
