Browserbase discloses no-train without opt-in for AI models, opt-out for training via account settings, and limited recipient categories, but lacks explicit access, deletion, and data-transfer safeguard mechanisms.

What Browserbase's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

Unnamed consent mechanism

Affirmative consent is required for training, but the policy names no actual way to give or withdraw it beyond a contact email

Access right not stated

Lists a support email but does not clearly disclose a right to access your personal data

Core Issue

Browserbase policy is thin on user rights disclosure. Most indicators in D2 (access, deletion, portability, correction) are silent. D1.2 and D2.1 conflate contact email with rights mechanisms, not equivalent.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: a way to opt out of training
Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: a right to access your data
Not stated: a right to delete your data
