## System

Hardware and runtime information: GPU details, browser version, extension version, memory usage.

## Privacy

### Context injection

| Control | Default | Description |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| Share location with agents | Off | Inject city-level geolocation into agent system prompts. Triggers a browser permission prompt on first enable. |
| Share date & timezone with agents | On | Inject current date, time, and IANA timezone into prompts. No permission needed. |

These are global gates — when off, no agent or MCP server can trigger context injection regardless of its own flags. See [Environment Context](/concepts/context-injection/) for the full architecture.

### Analytics

| Control | Default | Description |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| Anonymous usage analytics | On | Feature usage telemetry via GA4 |
| Enhanced geolocation | Off | IP-based country/region for analytics (separate from agent context injection) |

**Collected:** feature usage counters (chat, search, crawl, model load, MCP, agents, vault), provider and model name, OS, Chrome version, language, country/region.

**Never collected:** page content, URLs visited, chat messages, personal information.

See [Privacy Model](/concepts/privacy/) for the full data flow explanation.

## License

| Control | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| Status | Current plan and feature flags |
| Unlock | Opens Stripe checkout |
| Enter key | Manual license key entry (`DAN-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX`) |
