Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 1, 2025

Overview

Tether is a local bridge tool that operates entirely on your machine. The extension and CLI work together to send selected component information directly from your browser to your local AI coding assistant.

What We Don't Collect

Tether does not collect, store, or transmit any of your data to external servers. We operate no servers, have no authentication systems, and maintain no databases. All operations occur locally between your browser, the Tether CLI, and your chosen AI coding tool.

Local Operation

• The extension only activates on localhost domains
• No data is retained, even locally, by Tether
• Communication occurs exclusively between your browser and your locally-running CLI
• No information about your code, components, or development work leaves your machine through Tether

Cookies and Tracking

Tether uses no cookies, analytics, or tracking technologies of any kind.

Third-Party Services

When you send component information to AI coding tools like Claude Code or Cursor, that data is subject to the privacy policies of those respective services. Tether simply facilitates the local transfer of information you choose to share.

Children's Privacy

Tether is a developer tool intended for professional use. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
