Our Privacy Commitment
NeuroBrowse is built on a simple principle: your data is yours. We designed our Chrome extension to be privacy-first, meaning we don't collect, store, or have access to your browsing data, API keys, or AI summaries.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information We DO Collect
Beta Signup Information (Website Only):
- Email address (when you sign up for beta)
- Name (optional, if provided)
Usage Analytics (Minimal):
- Number of beta signups
- General feature usage (non-identifiable)
1.2 Information We DO NOT Collect
We Do Not Collect:
- ❌ Your browsing history
- ❌ Websites you visit
- ❌ Content you summarize
- ❌ Your API keys
- ❌ AI model responses
- ❌ Personal information from pages you browse
- ❌ Search queries or user behavior tracking
2. How Your Data Stays Private
2.1 API Keys (Your Credentials)
When you provide your API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, or Perplexity:
- Stored Locally: Your API keys are stored exclusively in your browser using Chrome's secure storage
- Never Transmitted to Us: Your keys NEVER pass through NeuroBrowse servers because we don't have servers
- Only Sent to AI Providers: Keys are sent directly from your browser to the respective AI provider
- Encrypted by Chrome: Chrome encrypts stored data using your system's credentials
- You Control Them: You can view, update, or delete your API keys anytime in the extension settings
2.2 Page Content & Summaries
When you click "Summarize":
- Direct Communication: Page content is sent directly from your browser to your chosen AI provider
- No Middle Man: NeuroBrowse does not intercept, store, or have access to the content you summarize
- No Summary Storage: AI summaries are displayed in your browser and never stored by NeuroBrowse
- Your Session Only: Summaries exist only in your current browser session
2.3 Authentication
Google OAuth:
- We use Google OAuth solely for user authentication during beta
- We receive only: your email address and basic profile info
- OAuth tokens are managed by Chrome and Google, not stored on our servers
- You can revoke access anytime via your Google Account settings
3. Third-Party Services
3.1 AI Providers
When you use NeuroBrowse, your data is sent directly to AI providers based on your chosen model:
Important: Each AI provider has their own privacy policy and data handling practices. Please review them to understand how they process your data.
3.2 Email Service (Mailchimp)
For beta signups, we use Mailchimp to manage email communications:
- Only your email (and optional name) are stored
- Used solely for beta updates and important product announcements
- You can unsubscribe anytime
4. Data Security
How We Protect Your Information:
- No Central Database: We don't store browsing data, so there's nothing to breach
- Local Storage Only: API keys stay in your browser, encrypted by Chrome
- HTTPS Everywhere: All communications use encrypted connections
- Minimal Data Collection: We only collect what's necessary (email for beta)
- No Tracking: No cookies, pixels, or analytics trackers on extension
Your Responsibility:
- Keep your API keys secure and don't share them
- Use strong passwords for accounts
- Don't use NeuroBrowse on shared/public computers if you've saved API keys
- Revoke and regenerate API keys if you suspect they're compromised
