Urban VPN Proxy is a free Chrome extension with roughly six million users and a featured badge on the Chrome Web Store. The extension embeds "executor" scripts that intercept and capture conversations from major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Grok. Collected content includes medical questions, financial details, proprietary code, and personal dilemmas, and is sold for marketing analytics purposes. Data scraping runs regardless of the VPN state because the collection script is enabled by default and there is no user-facing toggle; the only way to stop collection is to uninstall. The company shares web browsing data with an affiliated data broker, BiScience, which creates commercially used insights, while the store listing claims data is not sold outside approved use cases.
