What it is for
The Orin extension for Chrome has one job: copying the website sign-ins you choose from Chrome into Orin’s browser, so Orin can work on those sites without a password. It is optional. You only need it if you want to import sign-ins.
What it can access
The extension asks for access to cookies, the small pieces of data websites use to keep you signed in. Because a sign-in can belong to any website, it needs that access for all sites, which is why Chrome describes the permission broadly when you add it. The extension uses it only to list sites and copy the sign-ins you approve. It does not run on the pages you visit or read their content, and it cannot see your browsing history or your saved passwords.
Who it talks to
Only Orin’s own website can communicate with the extension. When you start an import from the Vault, the extension gives Orin a list of the sites Chrome holds cookies for, so you can pick the ones you want. Only site names are shared at this step, not the sign-ins themselves.
Nothing leaves without your approval
After you pick sites, the extension opens its own window listing them. The sign-ins for those sites are sent to Orin only after you click Allow. If you close the window instead, nothing is sent.
Computers only
The extension works in Chrome on a computer. Phone browsers do not let extensions read sign-ins, so importing is not available there. Once imported, your sign-ins work wherever you use Orin, including by text from your phone.
