Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-06-29

Wirepeek is a developer tool that lets you inspect, in real time, the WebSocket traffic of the page you are currently viewing — directly inside Chrome DevTools.

The short version

Wirepeek does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any of your data. Everything it captures stays on your machine, in your browser, for the duration of your DevTools session. There are no ads, no analytics, no telemetry, and no remote servers.

What data Wirepeek accesses

To do its job, Wirepeek observes the WebSocket frames sent and received by the page open in the tab you are inspecting. This data:

• is processed entirely locally, inside your browser;
• is shown only in the Wirepeek DevTools panel for that tab;
• is never sent to us or to any third party;
• is read-only — Wirepeek does not modify, block, or inject traffic;
• is held in memory only and is discarded when you close the panel/tab (no database, no cloud sync).

If you use the Export or Copy features, the data is written only to the file or clipboard you chose, by your explicit action. Wirepeek never uploads it anywhere.

What Wirepeek does NOT do

• No analytics, tracking, fingerprinting, or telemetry.
• No advertising.
• No selling or sharing of data with third parties.
• No remotely-hosted code.
• No collection of personal information, browsing history, or credentials.

Permissions and why they are needed

• Access to the pages you inspect (<all_urls> content scripts): required so Wirepeek can observe WebSocket frames inside the page you choose to inspect. A developer tool cannot know in advance which site you will debug, so it must be able to run on any page you open it on. Access is used only to read WebSocket frames locally; nothing is exfiltrated.
• DevTools page: required to add the “Wirepeek” panel to Chrome DevTools.

Wirepeek declares no host permissions and requests no other sensitive permissions.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at https://wirepeek.com/privacy with a new effective date.
