Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Airbnb Copilot is a Chrome extension that helps you find Airbnb listings matching your personal preferences. This policy explains what data the extension handles and how.

Data stored locally

All extension data is stored on your device using the browser's built-in IndexedDB storage. This includes:

• Your search parameters (location, dates, price range, criteria)
• Listing data collected during a run (titles, descriptions, ratings, scores)
• Your settings (model choice, scan delays, thresholds)
• Your Gemini API key
• Run history and logs

None of this data is transmitted to us or any third party. It stays in your browser and you can delete it at any time by removing the extension.

Third-party API usage

The extension sends data to the Google Gemini API (generativelanguage.googleapis.com) to score listings. This includes:

• Listing photo URLs (fetched by Gemini from Airbnb's CDN)
• Listing titles and descriptions
• Your search criteria (so Gemini can score against them)

These requests are made using your own Gemini API key, which you provide in the Settings tab. The extension never stores, proxies, or relays your API key through any server other than Google's.

Google's handling of data sent to the Gemini API is governed by Google's Gemini API Terms of Service.

Airbnb interaction

The extension opens Airbnb pages in a browser tab and reads listing information (titles, descriptions, photos, ratings, prices) from the page DOM. It behaves like a regular browser tab — no hidden requests, no API exploitation, no credential access. It only reads publicly visible listing information.

Data we collect

None. The extension has no server, no analytics, no telemetry, no tracking. We do not collect, store, or transmit any user data.

Permissions explained

• storage / unlimitedStorage — save your runs, listings, settings, and logs locally in IndexedDB
• tabs / tabGroups — open and manage the Airbnb tab used during a run, and group it so it doesn't clutter your workspace
• scripting — inject a content script into Airbnb pages to read listing data from the DOM
• sidePanel — display the extension's UI as a Chrome side panel
• notifications — alert you when a run needs attention (e.g. CAPTCHA detected)
• Host permissions (airbnb.* domains) — required to interact with Airbnb pages across all supported country domains
• muscache.com — Airbnb's image CDN, used to load listing photos
• generativelanguage.googleapis.com — Google's Gemini API endpoint for AI scoring

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published with the extension update. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect the change.
