Privacy Policy — RadHelper Clario Bridge

Last updated: March 5, 2026

Overview

RadHelper Clario Bridge is a Chrome extension that connects the Clario (BicRad) diagnostic imaging platform to the local RadHelper desktop agent. All communication occurs entirely on your local machine. No data is sent to any external server.

What Data Is Accessed

The extension accesses the following information from Clario pages (*.bicrad.com) only:

• Page state: Worklist status, jacket state, case counts, auto-next status, and navigation events.
• User login ID: The Clario session username.
• Patient and exam metadata: Patient name, MRN, accession number, modality, and related exam details intercepted from Clario RPC responses.

How Data Is Transmitted

All data is sent exclusively to the locally-installed RadHelper desktop agent via Chrome native messaging (stdio). Native messaging is a local inter-process communication channel — data never leaves your machine and is never transmitted over a network.

The extension does not use any external APIs, analytics services, crash reporters, or telemetry of any kind.

Data Storage

The extension itself stores no data. It acts as a stateless relay between Clario and the local RadHelper agent. The RadHelper agent may log data locally per user-configured settings; see the RadHelper documentation for details.

Protected Health Information (PHI)

The extension processes protected health information (PHI) — specifically patient names, MRNs, and accession numbers — solely to relay it to the local RadHelper agent for radiology workflow automation. All PHI remains on the user's machine at all times.

Third-Party Sharing

No data is shared with any third party. Period.

Permission Justifications

• nativeMessaging: Communicates with the local RadHelper desktop agent via stdio for bidirectional command and event relay.
• scripting: Injects page hooks into Clario (bicrad.com) to monitor application state and execute workflow commands.
• tabs: Resolves active tab metadata to route commands to the correct Clario tab.
• windows: Queries window bounds for workspace layout management by the local agent.
• webNavigation: Detects page navigation events on bicrad.com to track Clario session state changes.
• Host permission (*.bicrad.com): The extension only operates on the Clario diagnostic imaging platform and does not access any other websites.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy is updated, the new version will be posted at this URL with an updated date. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
