The extension collects the following data solely for the purpose of IT governance within your organization:

• Web history (URLs and page titles): the list of SaaS domains and web tools visited by the user, along with the page title and visit timestamp. This data is used exclusively to detect IT tools in use (including Shadow IT) and to measure active usage time per tool.
• User activity: active/idle browser state, used to measure the real time spent on each tool and to avoid recording idle time.
• Authentication token: the Hauban session token, stored locally via the browser's storage API, used to authenticate syncs with the Hauban workspace.
• Extension settings: tracking enabled/disabled state, discovery mode preference — stored locally.

The extension never reads page content, form inputs, passwords, cookies or any information beyond the URL and title of the active tab.It only collects the domain names of visited tools; it does not record browsing on personal websites or social media unless those domains are registered as IT tools in the organization's Hauban catalog.

The extension collects browsing data (browsingActivity) and sends it to api-public.hauban.io.
