Privacy Policy — Salesforce DevHelp

Last updated: September 6, 2026

Salesforce DevHelp is a Chrome extension for managing Salesforce trace flags and viewing debug logs. This extension is an independent, unofficial developer tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Salesforce, Inc.

What data the extension accesses

• Salesforce session cookie (sid). Read from a Salesforce tab you already have open and logged into, so the extension can call Salesforce's own APIs on your behalf without a separate login.
• Salesforce org data. Trace flags, debug levels, debug logs, Apex classes/coverage, and basic user info (name, username), retrieved directly from your org via Salesforce's REST/Tooling APIs.
• Open browser tabs. Used only to detect which tabs are Salesforce orgs and to focus/reuse the extension's own tab.
• Local preferences. Keyboard shortcuts and theme choice, stored via chrome.storage.local.

Where this data goes

Nowhere except your own Salesforce org. All requests made with your session go directly from your browser to https://<your-org>.salesforce.com (or the equivalent Force.com/Visualforce domain) — the same servers you already log into.

The extension has no backend server. It does not transmit your session ID, credentials, org data, or usage information to the developer or to any third party, and does not include analytics, tracking, or advertising code of any kind.

Data storage

Preferences are stored locally in your browser via chrome.storage.local and never leave your device. A short-lived value used to hand off which org to connect to is stored via chrome.storage.session and is cleared when the browser session ends. Nothing is stored on any remote server.

Permissions used

• cookies — to read the existing Salesforce session cookie for API authentication.
• tabs — to detect open Salesforce org tabs and manage the extension's own app tab.
• storage — to save local preferences.
• Host permissions for Salesforce/Force.com/Visualforce domains — to call Salesforce APIs and to show the "Open DevHelp" quick-access button on those pages.
