Summary
Albye automates interactions in your Slack web session with the Albert training bot. It does not collect analytics, does not operate a backend server, and does not sell data. You choose whether conversation text is processed locally (Ollama) or sent to a cloud LLM you configure.
Data the extension accesses
| Data | Why | Stored? |
|---|---|---|
| Slack page content (Albert DM messages, buttons, labels) | Read the training conversation and click the correct UI controls | Not persisted — processed in memory during automation |
| Slack workspace & channel IDs | Confirm you are on the correct Albert DM | Chrome sync / local storage on your device |
| LLM provider settings (model, Ollama URL) | Configure how decisions are made | Chrome sync storage on your device |
| Cloud LLM API keys (optional) | Authenticate with OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google if you choose cloud mode | chrome.storage.local on your device only — not synced |
| Slack login session (cookies) | Not accessed directly — Slack web already authenticated in your browser | Not stored by Albye |
What leaves your device
-
Local mode (Ollama): Recent Albert DM text and UI labels are sent to
http://127.0.0.1:11434(or the Ollama URL you configure) on your machine only. - Cloud mode (optional): The same conversation snapshot is sent to the provider you select (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini) using your API key. Albye does not proxy or log this traffic.
- Never sent: Slack passwords, Slack API tokens, or data to Albye’s developer.
Permissions
- Slack (app.slack.com): Content script runs only on Slack web to read messages and click buttons in your Albert DM.
- LLM hosts (optional): Requested when you click Test connection or Start — localhost for Ollama, or the cloud API you chose.
- Storage: Saves your settings locally in Chrome.
- activeTab / scripting: Communicates with the Slack tab when you use the popup.
Third parties
When you enable cloud LLM mode, your data is subject to that provider’s privacy policy:
Slack is used only through your browser session at app.slack.com. Albye is not affiliated with Slack or Albert.
Children
Albye is a workplace training helper. It is not directed at children under 13.
