Plain English summary: Planet Express Lounge stores everything locally on your device. Nothing is collected, tracked, or sent anywhere by the developer. The only network calls this extension ever makes are the ones you initiate directly — your chat messages going to the API provider you chose, using the key you provided.
Planet Express Lounge is an independent, non-commercial Chrome Extension created by #DHSeaDev as a personal fan project. There is no company, no website, no organisation, and no commercial entity behind this extension. It is one developer, building something for fun.
Because there is no organisation collecting data, there is no "we" — there is only the code running in your browser.
All data this extension creates lives exclusively on your device. It is stored in two browser-native locations, both of which you fully control:
| What | Where | Why | You can delete it |
|---|---|---|---|
| API keys (Groq / OpenRouter / Gemini / ElevenLabs) | chrome.storage.local |
So you don't have to re-enter them every session | Settings → Your Data → Clear All, or remove extension |
| Conversation history (chat turns) | Browser IndexedDB | Powers the transcript and Cold Storage pins | Settings → Your Data → Clear All |
| Cold Storage pins and saved exchanges | Browser IndexedDB | Saves exchanges, transcripts, and AI summaries you pinned or saved | Cold Storage tab → Delete button per pin, or Clear All |
| Delivery reward count & timestamp | chrome.storage.local |
Tracks milestone progress and 12-hour session cooldown | Settings → Your Data → Clear All |
| UI preferences (theme, font size, voice speed, master volume, cast toggles, chaos mode, voice engine mode) | chrome.storage.local |
Remembers your display and behaviour preferences between sessions | Settings → Your Data → Clear All |
| Provider and model selection | chrome.storage.local |
Restores your LLM configuration between sessions | Settings → Your Data → Clear All |
That is the complete list. Nothing else is stored. No cookies. No local files outside of Chrome's managed storage areas. No IndexedDB databases other than the one named PlanetExpressLounge.
Demo Mode note: When no API key is connected, the extension runs in Demo Mode — a pre-written episode and scripted chat exchanges using your device's local TTS. Demo Mode stores nothing and makes no network calls of any kind. It exits permanently when you connect an API key.
The only data that ever leaves your device is the content of your chat messages and autopilot prompts, sent directly from your browser to the API provider you selected. This happens when you press Send, when Autopilot mode is running, or when the invention generator is used in the Lab. Demo Mode makes no external requests.
The destination is always one of:
https://api.groq.com — if you chose Groqhttps://openrouter.ai — if you chose OpenRouterhttps://generativelanguage.googleapis.com — if you chose Geminihttps://api.elevenlabs.io — if you added an optional ElevenLabs key for premium voicesThese calls are made using your own API key. The developer receives nothing. There is no proxy, no middleware, no relay server. The request goes from your browser directly to the provider.
What those providers do with your prompts is governed by their privacy policies, not this one. Please read:
The developer (#DHSeaDev) collects zero analytics, zero telemetry, zero crash reports, zero usage statistics, zero personal information, and zero conversation data. There are no tracking pixels, no fingerprinting scripts, no third-party analytics SDKs, and no advertising infrastructure of any kind in this extension. It has no backend server. It has no database. It makes no calls to any server operated by the developer.
This extension does not collect data about which AI provider or API you use, what prompts or messages you send to those providers, or how you interact with the extension. No usage telemetry, keystrokes, or behavioral data of any kind leave your device through this extension.
The extension requests the following Chrome permissions. Each one is used exclusively for the feature described:
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
storage |
Saves your API keys, preferences, and delivery rewards locally via chrome.storage.local. No data ever leaves your device through this permission. |
tts |
Reads character dialogue aloud using Chrome's built-in text-to-speech engine. No audio is recorded or transmitted. |
sidePanel |
Opens the extension as a persistent sidebar panel rather than a pop-up window. Required for the layout to function. |
contextMenus |
Adds a right-click option to send selected text directly to the crew chat. The selected text is never stored beyond the current session. |
Host: api.groq.com |
Allows the extension to make direct API calls to Groq using your API key when you select Groq as your provider. |
Host: openrouter.ai |
Allows direct API calls to OpenRouter when selected. |
Host: generativelanguage.googleapis.com |
Allows direct API calls to Google Gemini when selected. |
Host: api.elevenlabs.io |
Allows direct API calls to ElevenLabs Text-to-Speech using your own key, only if you add one in Settings for premium character voices. Optional — the extension works fully without it using your OS or Chrome's built-in voices. |
This extension is not directed at children. It contains AI-generated character dialogue that may include adult themes when Chaos Mode is enabled. The developer does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, children or adults.

chrome://extensions → Remove). Chrome automatically clears all storage associated with the extension on uninstall.If this policy changes materially, the "Last updated" date at the top will change and the new version will be linked from the extension's manifest homepage_url.
