What ICA Sentinel Does
ICA Sentinel monitors opted-in AI chat sessions on supported AI websites and writes transcript snapshots to ICA Imperium's customer capture ledger. When live analysis is available and a session crosses the configured threshold, Sentinel displays an alert and allows the operator to save an incident record.
Supported AI surfaces include Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, Copilot, Meta AI, Character.AI, and Mistral.
User Consent And Site Access
ICA Sentinel does not request AI-site access at installation. The user must click Enable AI Capture in the extension popup or options page before Sentinel can read supported AI surfaces. Chrome then shows a host-access prompt. If the user does not grant that access, Sentinel cannot read AI-page content.
Data Collected
When configured and granted access, Sentinel may process:
- AI conversation transcripts from supported, opted-in AI surfaces.
- Capture metadata, including AI vendor, timestamp, supported surface, model hint, transcript size, and capture reason.
- Incident metadata, including AI vendor, timestamp, score, failure modes, and operator notes, when incident creation is used.
- The user-provided ICA Live / Imperium token for the configured approved backend.
- Configuration settings such as backend URL, threshold, polling interval, and overlay behavior.
- Optional Imperium discovery observations: supported AI host, URL origin plus path, timestamp, and configured customer ID.
Data Not Collected
Sentinel does not collect:
- Browsing history outside supported AI surfaces granted by the user.
- Page content from websites outside supported AI surfaces.
- Query strings or URL hash fragments in the Imperium discovery beacon.
- Keystrokes, clipboard contents, screenshots, screen recordings, microphone input, camera input, location data, payment data, or cookies.
- Advertising identifiers or analytics telemetry.
Where Data Goes
Transcript snapshots are sent only to ICA Imperium through the approved endpoint configured in Sentinel options. The Web Store-safe build allows this approved production endpoint:
https://imperium.aleeth.com
Localhost may be used for developer testing in unpacked builds.
Optional live analysis, operator incident creation, and the Imperium discovery beacon also use the configured approved Imperium endpoint.
Sentinel does not sell, rent, or transfer user data to advertising networks, analytics providers, data brokers, or unrelated third parties.
Storage
Sentinel stores settings and tokens in Chrome extension storage (chrome.storage.sync). The token is sent only as a bearer token to the configured approved backend. Capture ledger and incident records are stored by ICA Imperium, not by the extension itself.
Retention
Local extension settings remain until the user clears extension data or uninstalls Sentinel. Incident records stored on the configured backend follow that backend's retention policy.
User Controls
Users may:
- Disable AI capture by removing site access in Chrome extension settings.
- Disable the Imperium discovery beacon in Sentinel options.
- Change or clear the ICA Live / Imperium token in Sentinel options.
- Uninstall Sentinel at any time, which removes local extension storage.
- Request deletion of backend incident records by contacting the backend operator.
Security
Sentinel uses HTTPS for production backend communication. The extension blocks arbitrary third-party backend URLs in the Web Store-safe build. Sentinel does not load remote executable code.
Chrome Web Store Limited Use
The use of information received from Chrome APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Changes
If this policy materially changes, the updated policy will be published before a new extension version is submitted.
